IPC Communication between cores having different .out files

Hi Vinodh,

Please provide,

1. Which version of MCSDK you are using
2. Which processor and board platform (EVM & its revision) you are using
3. If relevant, the version of your components
4. If relevant, which version of the compiler and Code Composer Studio you are using

Yes. It is possible to run different .out file in different core. If same out file is used across multiple cores, then DNUM shall be used to execute the core specific routines.

Thank you.

MCSDK version : 2.2.1.03

EVM:  6614

IPC : ipc_1_25_03_15

CCS : V5.5

Compiler : c6000_7.4.4

Is there any specific inclusion required in the .cfg file for IPC for different .out in different core ? How different is that from running the same .out file in different core ? What are the complexity involved?

Vinodh,

Please see the IPC user guide to get the detailed information.
C:\ti\ipc_1_xx_xx_xx\docs\IPC_Users_Guide

For IPC sync, see this E2E post.

If you are implementing MessageQ transport on your application code,refer the below E2E post. This is having detailed discussion.

Hi Pubesh , 

We tried running with a common .out file - 

Both the core is able to create a messageQ .But on running only core 0 is able to open and send the message to core1, whereas core1 is only able to create .  Core1 keep trying to open the MSGQ of core0.

ROV shows core1 attach is false. We are using the Ipc.ProcSync_ALL , but still the core not getting attached on the IPC_start().

Please find the .cfg file below

Vinodh,

Glad to hear, its working on your side. However this discussion of thread can helpful for future readers, If you verified this thread.
