NDK examples fail on TMDXEVM6678L

Bernard Oliver

Hi,

When I run the mcsdk examples and demo 'client' or ' helloWorld' or 'hua' on TMDXEVM6678L, they all fail at:

rc = NC_NetStart( hCfg, NetworkOpen, NetworkClose, NetworkIPAddr ) with error "Timeout waiting for reply from PA to Pa_addMac command" as per below.

I am running mcsdk _2_00_01_12 and ndk_2_20_04_26.

Any suggestions?

Maybe the PA has been already programmed by the application that boot by default (the Web server?). Boot with the POST and retry. If you want to restart/reload your application, a board reset is required (maybe there is a way to reset the PA without a cold boot, I don't know),

Alberto,

Your're right. I was booting the system with the demo program. When I set the boot control switches to 'Emulation Boot' and specify the gel file as the Initialization Script for Core 0, it works OK.

Many thanks,

Bernard

I suppose exist a way to reset the PA (an maybe some other units required by the NDK): it will be usefull to me to reload/reatrt the application that use the NDK without having to reset the board each time.

Maybe someone elase can give us some hints?

Check Boot Mode Dip Switch Settings table on this link: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMDXEVM6678L_EVM_Hardware_Setup

"No boot" is what you need.

Hi Dmitry,

I am facing the same isssue that every time i run the NDK helloworld example I need to reset the board and then load the program once again.

I verified my boot mode it is set to "no boot", it doesn't work.

NDK version : 2.20.4.26

SYS/BIOS version : 6.34.2.18
