Update 2012-01-10: the goal of this thread is now to port the StarterWare AM1808 USB Bulk Device example (or similar functionality) to the AM1707 EVM board.
Question 1: Is StarterWare not available for Sitara AM17x? Specifically, AM1705..
Answer 1: No, it is not available. See Baskaran's post.
Question 2: Can the uartEcho example (serial port) be ported from AM1808 to run on the AM1707 EVM?
Answer 2: Yes. See this post, with source code included as sw_am17x_2012-01-10-UART_interrupt_works!.zip
Question 3: Can the usb_bulk_dev example be ported from AM1808 to run on the AM1707 EVM?
Answer 3: Yes. See this post, with source code included as gcc_usb_bulk_dev_am1707.zip
At TI's behest, please post questions about porting other parts of StarterWare in a fresh thread. However, for questions about any existing posts, I think it would make more sense to reply on this thread.
Special thanks to Baskaran, Madhvapathi, Sujith, and Vivek!
