Is there a BSL for the TMS320C6748 LCDK?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, TMS320C6748, OMAPL138, SYSBIOS

Hello TI E2E Community,

When I took the 'C6000 Embedded Design Workshop Using SYS/BIOS', we used the OMAP-L138 (C6748) EVM in the class.  One of the steps we had to do when using SYS/BIOS in our project was to add the 'evmomapl138_bsl.lin' to the project in order to initialize the I2C communications channel and toggle the LED on the EVM board.  Now that I am using the TMS320C6748 LCDK do I need to add a BSL library to my SYS/BIOS project?  Where can I find the BSL library?

Thanks,
Wing

    Wing,

    BSL library is only supported on the OMAPL138 EVM and is provided by Logic PD who manufactures the EVMs. You can do the same functions on LCDK using Starterware package. If you are looking for specific drivers the latest SYSBIOS PSP packgae supports LCDK platform. A good starting point for you would be the SYSBIOS based C6SDK which includes both starterware as well as BIOS PSP package. For more info refer:

    In many places you write that it is recommended to download the TI-RTOS for the OMAPL138 directly via the app center in the Code Composer 7. However, when I go there and search for TI-RTOS - it is not found...

    Nadav,

    The SDK for C6748 DSP has been validated with CCSv5 and not with CCSv7 so there may be some porting effort involved. We recommend using the SDK for the device as the driver, examples are maintained and tested by our development teams with versions of the software components and RTOS that is included in the SDK. I am not completely aware of the documentation for C6000 Embedded Design Workshop Using SYS/BIOS so may not be able to comment about that.

    We do plan to refresh the software offering by adding OMAPL138/C6748 support to Processor SDK which will support CCSv7 but this is planned for 2Q17 so is unavailable for download at this moment.

    Regards,

    The board manufacturer uses starterware example binaries for LCDK diagnostics so that is the other option that you can use if the intent is to use bare-metal examples for testing the board.
