Part Number: TMDXLCDK138
Hello all,
I am a student working on a project for one of my classes. The goal of the project is to design a system that allows future students to perform audio processing on real time signals. We decided to look at this board because it has both audio input and output ports, a floating-point DSP, and it seemed easy to work with. The eventual goal is to create a code shell for students that will take care of the configuration and dealing with peripherals so the students can focus on designing an audio filter or other applications.
I was able to follow the quick start guide that came with the kit. I was able to boot the Linux kernel and was able to communicate via the micro USB-UART port.
I tried to find out how to program the board and perform a simple hello_world-like program. I downloaded CCS (version 7). When I tried to configure the target, could not find a connection to the device. Is it possible to program the microcontroller on the OMAP L138 LCDk development board through the micro USB-UART connection?
I read in a few places that a JTAG debugger is needed. Is this needed in order to program the microcontroller? If this is the case, then we will purchase one. We had hoped that there was a way to program it without an extra JTAG cable so the students wouldn't have to purchase the cable as well.
Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Richard
