Hi,

Does the ICP GateMP on the C66x device is using the HW semaphores? Where can I see that on the IPC code?

Thanks,

HR

    GateMP uses HW semaphores on the c66x devices.The GateMp.RemoteSystemProxy is set up in the GateMP.xs file:

    var gateDel = Settings.getHWGate();
    GateMP.RemoteSystemProxy = xdc.module(gateDel);

    The getHWGate function in the family\Settings.xs file determines the device and plugs in the appropriate locking mechanism.

    The actual HW Semaphore source code is in the <ipc_install_dir>\packages\ti\sdo\ipc\gates\GateHWSem.c file.

    Todd,

    OK, so I can use any HW Sem. as the GateMP will check which is available and will use it, is this correct?

    Thanks,

    HR
