hi,

I am using C6657 and mcsdk for multcore develop, and faced a problem that debug mode cannot into main function.

So i run demo which from sdk, i am only modify cfg file in order to use more than 256M ddr. and the same problem happened.

Can you help?

modify  \ti\mcsdk_2_01_02_06\demos\hua\evmc6657l\evm.cfg

/*
** Heap Management Module - Create a default Heap.
*/
var HeapMem = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.heaps.HeapMem');
var heapMemParams = new HeapMem.Params();
heapMemParams.size = 235*1024*1024; //0xF4240;    /* 1Mb*/                <--------------  modify here to use more than 256M ddr, and demo cannot running into main function
heapMemParams.sectionName = "systemHeap";
Program.global.heap0 = HeapMem.create(heapMemParams);
Memory.defaultHeapInstance = Program.global.heap0;

/* Load the CSL package  - LoadPackage is equivalent to linking the library */
var Csl                         =     xdc.loadPackage('ti.csl');

  • Hi,

    I've notified the RTOS team. They will post their feedback directly here.

    Just a note MCSDK is outdated. Is it possible to migrate to latest TI Processor SDK RTOS?

    Best Regards,
    Yordan
  • Zhi li,

    Are you saying that the application loads with 1 MB Heap configuration but fails to load when heap is configured to 256 MB?

    The MCSDK release was created in 2012 and is in maintenance mode. The demo has now been ported to the latest TI RTOS and offered in our Processor SDK RTOS for C6657. Can you please migrate to the latest software so we can support your issues.

    Regards,
    Rahul
  • dear Rahul:

    Thank you for your response.

    Now, I use ccs_setup_7.4.0.00015.exe and ti-processor-sdk-rtos-c665x-evm-04.03.00.05-Windows-x86-Install.exe as develop environment.

    and I bulid Image Processing Demo for test.

    Can you tell me where is the gel file, i can use for c6657 evm?

    Regards,

    li

  • The GELs for these devices is integrated in the CCS installation. You can find them in the following directory path in your CCS installation:
    C:\ti\ccsv7\ccs_base\emulation\boards\evmc6657l\gel
