Can same timer be used in Two Cores of c6487/c6488 DSP?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320TCI6488

Hi,

1) Is it possible to use same Hardware Timer for DSP-BIOS, running on two DSP cores? Here the two cores execute independent ".out" and are built separately.

2) CLK_getltime() is used for storing time-stamp on Core-0. Is it possible to get the same time-stamp on Core-2, through BIOS calls or some other means?

Any BIOS property similar to "bios.CLK.STARTBOTH" exists for c6487/c6488? I got error while trying to configure this property in TCF file.

Justin Antony G,

There is no DSP with the part number C6487 or C6488. If you are using a different part that has a different prefix, you may be using a part that is not supported in the E2E forums but is only supported for a vertical market segment and is only supported through more direct resources assigned to your project.

I wanted to give you a chance to respond first, here, and after we have determined your support status you may want to re-post with the correct part number for the DSP you are using, if it is one we support here, or contact your support staff directly.

Regards,
RandyP

Hi RandyP,

The correct DSP name is : TMS320TCI6487 and TMS320TCI6488.

Justin

Is this processor not supported in this forum?

This processor is not a broad-market device, only sold to a vertical market segment. The application support is provided through a dedicated network for that market and they do not use this forum.
