OMAP L138 resources? Video capture?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Hi there,

So in my project, I am supposed to take the video input from the Composite input pin on board the L138 LCDK and store it onto an SD card. That said I am a newbie to microprocessors. I have worked on micro-controllers for quite some time now. And I am finding the process of developing on Microprocessor entirely different. With so much linux/bios and everything. I am finding it difficult to start at one point.

For instance, when you first learn a microcontroller, you try to do a HelloWorld project. I am not finding any such 'getting started' program examlples for this board which comes with instructions and all.

Anyway, Would any of you be kind enough to point me in the right direction. if possible direct me to a link that has a step by step direction to do the programming.

Thanks,

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

We have starterware software for OMAPL138 which is bare metal code(Non-OS). I will suggest you to kick start with it as it is very easy to understand.
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../StarterWare

Also in the Code Composer Studio, their are pre included helloworld example for every devices.

In CCS, under projects tab-> CCS Example projects. You can import these projects and can do hands-on.

Thanks Arvind for the reply. However I have another question. When I try to build any of these example codes, the drivers are showing up as missing. Files like gpio.h, hwtypes.h etc are missing. How do I add them.

Hi Vivek,

You need to add all of these header files and libraries path in the include option.

You will find it in project properties -> Build -> C6000 compiler -> Include Options (For header files)
project properties -> Build -> C6000 Linker -> File Search Path () (For Libraries)
