Part Number: AM2634
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSCNCD263,
To Expert
I am currently conducting pre-development using "TMDSCNCD263".
I confirmed that it works as Multi-Core by modifying the GEL file as follows.
However, my final goal is to operate R5_0 and R5_1 as Lock-Step and R5_1 and R5_2 as Multi Core.
Therefore, finally, 3 SWs must operate simultaneously.
is this possible?
Hi Jiung Choi
In the GELs, when you are configuring the mode to lockstep:
1. R5F_SS0 is configured to lockstep.
2. R5F_SS1 is configured to lockstep.
when you are configuring the mode to dualcore:
1. R5F_SS0 is configured to dualcore.
2. R5F_SS1 is configured to dualcore.
I got this information from GELs as shown below:
Looking at this, we need to create another API which does the below according to your requirement:
hotmenu Configure_Lockstep_Dual_Core_mode()
{
if(Enable_OnTarget_Connect == 1){
MSS_CTRL_unlock();
MSS_TOPRCM_unlock();
MSS_RCM_unlock();
MSS_IOMUX_Unlock();
TOP_CTRL_unlock();
R5F_SS0_Reset_Lockstep();
R5F_SS1_Reset_Dualcore();
R5F_ROM_eclipse();
Unhalt_All_R5F_cores();
MSS_L2_Mem_Init();
MailBox_MEM_Init();
GEL_TextOut("*********** R5FSS0 Lockstep mode /R5FSS1 Dual Core mode Configured********\n");
}else{
GEL_TextOut("Errrrr... Please Load Gel files\n");
}
}
Please give me some more time to verify this change and cross-check it with the compiler team. If you are interested to test it, you can make the above change in your CCS and try it out too.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
Please make the following changes in your GEL files to enable lockstepmode and dual core for R50_0 and R51_0 respectively.
Go to file C:\ti\ccs1210\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel\AM263x\AM263x.gel:
Step1:
check in which mode you are in: Lockstep or Dual Core, if you have not changed your GELs anytime, your default mode is lockstep.
Step2:
Now as discussed earlier make change is the Lockstep mode API like this:
Step 3:
Go to File: C:\ti\ccs1210\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel\AM263x\AM263_common\AM263_common.gel
Make the below change in the API - Change R5SS0 to R5SS1.
API name: R5F_SS1_Reset_Dualcore
Step 4: Save the Changes.
Step 5: Re-configure the Target Configurations for your AM2634 So that the GELs are added again. Now load and launch the GELs.
Run your program as usual.
Step 6: Wile connecting to cores, you should be able to connect to all the cores except for the second core.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards
