Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6416

I am interfacing flash (AM29LV800BB-70EC TSOP48) is it compatible with TMS320C6416? And can tell about compatible flashes for TMS320C6416?

Because as i know TMS320C6416 transfer the data from flash to RAM after reset, with default configuration that are available in builtin boot loader.

Abbott,

There is no specific recommendation on flash memory for C6416 device. You may need to select one based on your requirement and device compatibility. You may find the below thread handy for flash interface with C6416.

what do mean by compatibility, how to know that if it is compatible or not? Will dsp be able transfer the data from flash of our choice to RAM in boot process?

Dear Abbott,

Will dsp be able transfer the data from flash of our choice to RAM in boot process?

Yes, if its NAND boot with external RAM (DDR) and internal RAM.

what do mean by compatibility, how to know that if it is compatible or not?

Here, I think, Senthil want to suggest you to use the C6416 DSP compatible flash devices like ECC, size of flash, bus width etc.,
To know more, please read the C6416 data sheet and discuss with your HW team.

Dear Titus S.
my concern is the data transfer from flash to internal RAM with default timing configuration that are builtin in C6416 processor for boot process. Is there any specific timing requirement for flash choice.
