Could Windows OS support 66AK2H14 completely?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: 66AK2H14, SYSBIOS

I am using windows OS and I installed Windows version of the CCS and MCSDK with SYS/BIOS.  According to the image below, this 66AK2H14 could only work on one of the four OSs which exclude Windows OS.  Is there going to be a communication issue if I am using DSP and ARM on this EVM?

    My reading of the "Operating Systems" column is that the column lists the possible operating systems which can be run on the 66AK2H14 device, rather than the operating system which runs on the development computer (Windows in your case).

    For your concern over a communication issue, what communication method(s) are you planning to use?

    Yoyo,

    Chester is right; the operating systems hosted on the device are displayed in this column. If you want to know which operating systems are supported on the development host, check the Processors News page:

    I plan to use USB connect the EVM. If I don't install any OS on this EVM, it will not run at all? Since I only have one computer and I only allowed to use Windows on this computer, could I still do the development on this EVM?

    HI Rafael,
    I went to the link you suggested. For BIOSLINUXMCSDK-K2, if you click the link, it will take you to the page choose your device. For BIOSLINUXMCSDK-K2 it shows it OS as Linux and OS version as SYS/BIOS or Linux. but once you go one more page down, you will see the MCSDK 3_01_04_07 has windows version as "mcsdk_3_01_04_07_setupwin32.exe MCSDK installer for Windows-32bit containing DSP sources for Windows host" I guess the Linux is the OS where MCSDK can run on and Windows is the OS where you can compile your code. I have few question.
    1, Since I am only using Windows, even so I run my code with the EVM but EVM will not be able to process, won't it?
    2. When you connect the EVM you will see the black page with several icon, I guess it's not OS, is it?
    3. I have been told, If I only want to use DSP not ARM, the windows OS is sufficient. But If I want to use ARM, I must have Linux OS is that true?
    v/r

    I followed the same steps as you and I agree it is confusing...The last page actually holds all versions, links and support files for the product.

    That page tells me you have the following combinations:

    Use a Linux PC to compile both ARM and DSP code. ARM code runs in the embedded Linux, while DSP code runs on SYSBIOS.

    Use a Windows PC to compile DSP code. DSP code runs on SYSBIOS.

    Regarding your question number 2, I suspect that what you see is the Matrix App Launcher demo with several icons as shown in this link, right? If so, this demo is a Linux application running on the target device (not on the host PC).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
