 Hi All,

Can you please attach the updated GEL file for Rev.G OMAPEVM for CCS version 3.3 and version 4.x.

    Vijay,

    Please check the forum post below; although I can't tell for sure if this is related to Rev G board, you can give it a try.

    The GEL file mentioned in the post is available in the CCSv4 installation. Check the directory ccsv4\emulation\boards\omap35xx_3430\gel

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    The GEL file from the old post omap3430_sdrc_configs.gel is in ccsv4\emulation\gel, though it is somewhat generic, and not specifically tailored or modified for the Mistral EVM rev G. 

    The Mistral EVM GEL file in ccsv4\emulation\boards\omap35xx_3430\gel of the CCS 4.1 install only has the Samsung DDR configuration (only good for the old beta EVM boards), there is a BSquare board GEL file in there that uses Micron memory but I am not sure it is compatible with the newer Mistral EVMs. I don't think I ever came across a GEL file officially for the Mistral EVM (until this one for the old Samsung version), in the past one would use the generic OMAP34xx GEL files from ccsv4\emulation\gel as a base when it came to the Mistral OMAP3 EVM.

    For other devices, the board manufacturer often generates a GEL file specific to the board, though that does not appear to be the case here. I am not familiar with the formal process of how GEL files get into the CCS installer, so I am not very sure where you would get such a GEL file aside from the manufacturer. They tend to come from the manufacturer because often such files are used for initial board bring up and testing, so whomever brought up the rev G EVM (presumably at Mistral) might have something.

    That's disappointing, the Mistral EVM3530 Rev. G is an "official" evalboard for the OMAP35, but not supported through Code Composer v4?

    With the EBVBeagle it works quite fine, can someone guide me how to setup the SDRAM in the GEL files for the EVM3530 Rev. G?
    Looks like it works with the following GEL file, can someone confirm this?

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\emulation\boards\omap35xx_3430\gel\BSquare_Omap35xx_CortexA8.gel
    // The OMAP3530 BSQUARE board has two Micron MT46H32M16LF-75 DDRs.
    // Speed - 133 Mhz. Conf: 8M * 16 * 4 Banks.
    mDDR_Micron_MT46H32M16LF()

    Hi,

    I tested the set of GEL files published at the page below on a Rev G board and a Rev C processor module (SOM).

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP_and_Sitara_CCS_support

    The main issue is that the board and the processor modules suffered several revisions (sometimes due to availability of the memory devices) and therefore it was difficult to follow the changes.

    Let me know if these files work fine on your board.

    Best regards,

    Rafael

    I downloaded these files: GELs for OMAP3EVM for CCSv4

    I can confirm that when i choose the "omap3530_cortexA.gel" file, the hello world project (downloaded to the SDRAM at 0x8000 0000) works on both of my evaluation boards

    • TI EVM3530 Rev. G
    • EBVBeagle Rev. C4

    However, i had the feeling that the debug session was much more unstable compared to the previous GEL-files. Often Code Composer did not respond when i terminate the debug session. But maybe that's not related to the GEL-files, more due to the fact that i switched the JTAG connection between the two evaluation boards.

    Thank you
