TMDX654IDKEVM: IDK questions

Part Number: TMDX654IDKEVM

Hello

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction....

I have the AM654x IDK...and I am using the TI-RTOS platform

I am trying to drive one of the LEDS over  IC2. Unfortunately I cannot find an example to do this specifically on the AM654x IDK....

Q 1

Is there an example of this using  TI-RTOS

Q 2

The device is sold as a SIL 3 device ...IEC51508....etc etc....or should I say it has the possibility of achieving these ratings.

Is there a safety library for this particular device (I believe Hercules has one)  and if so, is there a some sort of guide on how to use it with the AM654x 

if there is no "safety" library then what is the most recommended library in conjunction with the TI-RTOS platform.

Q 3

Has the device achieved TUV certification or is this still pending.

Kind Regards

Carl

 

  • Hi,

    For Q1, please look at pdk_am65xx_1_0_x\packages\ti\board\diag\led_industrial\, those LEDs should be controlled via I2C. For how to use this, please check http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_board.html#diagnostics, it is case "ledIndustrial_TEST".

    For rest issues, my colleague will answer.

    Regards, Eric

  • Hi Eric

    Thanks for the reply ...yes that has pointed me in the right direction....

    If I just wanted to copy and paste the code.....and resolve all the headers ....is there some legs in that...or is that a bit naive...

    I gave it a quick whirl ...only to be stumped on "board.h" not found and I cant find it....

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    The build instruction is inside the user guide. The syntax is: make am65xx_idk_sd 

    3.2.2.5. Make targets

    The simplest invocation is to use “make <BOARD>” to compile all the applications. Here is a list of make targets implemented for the diagnostic makefile:

    • make <BOARD> - compile all diagnostic applications for one specific BOARD
    • make clean - clean and remove all applications for all supported BOARDs
    • make <BOARD>_clean - clean and remove all application for one specific BOARD
    • make <BOARD>_sd - compile all diagnostic applications for one specific BOARD and create the SD card loadable files with those compiled applications

    From the build log, you should be able to see the source codes compiled. And what library linked to create the output. Then you can group them together. For the board.h, it is under ti\board.

    Regards, Eric 

  • Sorry, accidentally marked the thread as "TI Thinks Resolved".  Q2 and Q3 are still pending 

  • Hi Carl,

    Regarding your safety questions, the AM65x device will be certified and collateral will be made available 4Q 2020.

    AM65x will be certified with TUV SUD as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC):
    • Achieves systematic integrity of SIL-3
    • For the MCU safety island, sufficient diagnostics are included to achieve random fault integrity requirements of SIL-2
    • For the rest of the SoC, sufficient diagnostics are included to achieve random fault integrity requirements of SIL-2
    • In addition, sufficient architectural metrics are in place to achieve execution of SIL-3 applications given a proper safety concept (for example reciprocal comparison by software)

    Please contact your TI representative for further information.

    Regards,

    Mike

  • Hi Mike

    Thanks for that...is there a safety library for the device?

    Kind Regards

    Carl

  • Hi Carl,

    Yes, there will be a Functional Safety Chip Support Library and a Safety Diagnostics Library for AM65x that will be an add-on package to the Processor SDK.  It will also be available in 4Q 2020.

    A safety manual, FMEDA, and other collateral will be be available at that time as part of a SafeTI solution.

    Regards,

    Mike

  • Hi Mike 

    Ok ...I think that clarifies some points....thanks for you help.

    Kind Regards
