[PDK] How to build NIMU with pdk_c667x_2_0_3

Naoki Kawada
Guru 19890 points

Hi,

I'm using the latest ProcSDK RTOS for C667x.
How can I build the code inside C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu ?
There is no recipe for NIMU at top makefile.
So I tried the following command, but then xdc started to build NIMU for all of device, for example, AM57x, and etc, and it generates errors.

cd C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages
set EDMA3LLD_BIOS6_INSTALLDIR=C:\ti\edma3_lld_2_12_01_25
pdksetupenv.bat
cd C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu
xdc clean
xdc all

I just want to build NIMU only for C667x. And as you know, building NIMU is mandatory to fit the nimu driver into user's target board specification. Do you have any suggestion ?

Best Regards,
Naoki

    Hi Naoki,

    Here are the steps I took to create an example nimu project:

    cd ~/ti/pdk_k2hk_4_0_2/packages
    source pdksetupenv.sh
    ./pdkProjectCreate.sh K2H all little nimu dsp

    As a result, I got the ccs project, generated in ~/ti/pdk_k2hk_4_0_2/packages/MyExampleProjects/NIMU_emacExample_EVMK2HC66BiosExampleProject

    In your case you should change the SoC from K2H to C6678, i.e. use:
    ./pdkProjectCreate.sh C6678 all little nimu dsp

    NOTE: I use linux, if your host pc is running windows, you should use the pdkProjectCreate.bat file.

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Yordan

    Yordan, Thanks for responding this but I'm not asking for generating the nimu CCS examples. I've already done it and it is working. I'm asking about the way to build nimu driver lib, not application code. Best regards Naoki

    Can you please refer to this wiki page for rebuild the PDK of NIMU ?
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Rebuilding_The_PDK
    I haven't tried to build NIMU yet, tomorrow let me try and update you.

    I think we can't build the NIMU as module like i2c, uart since its transport not drivers. So rebuilding the PDK didn't workout.
    Also I think we should modify the "~/ti/pdk_c667x_2_0_3/packages/ti/build/Rules.make" file to build the NIMU.

    PS: UPDATED

    So what is the solution for this issue ? As I mentioned in early post, Re-Building NIMU transport is mandatory for NDK user's. I have some customers who are using NDK. The same question will be raised from them sooner or later.

    Tried to change lot of makefiles and declared the SOC and BOARD and nothing didn't workout.
    So I will check with dev team for this.

    Naoki,

    Could you please run C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\pdksetupenv.bat and then navigate to C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu and run a gmake?

    This should rebuild the NIMU libs.

    Hi Lali,
    Thanks for replying.
    I have tried this already and not worked out. We would get "Nothing to be done for gmake" message.
    Any other suggestions please ?

    Hi Titus,

    Could you also try xdc instead of gmake at C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu ?

    Lali,

    Did you read my posts here ? I've already tried like this:

    cd C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages
    set EDMA3LLD_BIOS6_INSTALLDIR=C:\ti\edma3_lld_2_12_01_25
    pdksetupenv.bat
    cd C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu
    xdc clean
    xdc all

    This generates the errors. It seems xdc tries to build other processors, for example AM5xx. I just want to build NIMU only for C6678.

    Best Regards,
    Naoki

    Naoki,

    Could you please try this:

    In C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu\config.bld

    Change the platforms section to the following.

    /* Create the SoC List  */
var socs = { 
    /* device independent libraries */
    all :
    {
        /* Build this library */
        build: "true",
        /* SoC lib enabled */
        socDevLib: "false",
        /* Library options */
        copts: "",
        /* target lists, kept blank now, would be updated based on argument lists */
        targets: []
    },
    c6678 :
    {
        /* Build this library */
        build: "false",
       /* SoC lib enabled */
       socDevLib: "true",
       /* Library options */
       copts: "-DSOC_C6678 -DDEVICE_C6678",
       /* target list */
       targets: [ C66LE, C66BE],
       /* New variable */
       version: "v1"
    }
};

    There is a problem here with the make steps that  will have to be looked into, but I'm trying to get you unblocked for now. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi Lali,

    Thanks for your help. I just tried your suggestion, ti.transport.ndk.nimu.ae66 and ti.transport.ndk.nimu.ae66e were generated on C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_3\packages\ti\transport\ndk\nimu\lib\c6678\c66\release. But still I saw the following errors on my console window:

    As you noticed, there might be some problems in makefile. Please keep in touch with this issue and please let me know If you have any progress on this.

    Naoki,

    Thanks for the feedback.
    I will file a bug report on this to have the development team take a look/fix.

    Please close this thread for now if you are ok with it. Thanks again for your patience.

    Naoki,

    Attached is my modified config.bld where I moved c6678 to the top of the list, the next is AM572x will fail but I don't care. Attached is my build log, as you can see that NIMU library is built for C6678. Hope this help! config.bld
