AM2434: HS vs HS_FS files in workspace

Part Number: AM2434

Hi!

My current setup is:

mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_09_01_00_41
ti-cgt-armllvm_3.2.0.LTS
ccs1250

A strange thing happens:

When I build hello_world_am243x-evm_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang example with DEVICE_TYPE?=GP in devconfig.mak a file hello_world_am243x-evm_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang.appimage.hs_fs is generated.

When I build hello_world_am243x-evm_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang example with DEVICE_TYPE?=HS in devconfig.mak a file hello_world_am243x-evm_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang.appimage.hs is generated.

Why is that?

I used ccs1240 and mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_09_00_00_35 and it was the other way around: GP produced .hs and HS produced hs_fs.

  • Hello Tomasz,

    I haven't been able to replicate the exact results you've claimed here - can you walk me through the build process you've done? I know you mention editing the .mak file devconfig. When I am changing this and building in CCS only on mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_09_00_00_35, I am not seeing the GP producing an .hs file. I get only a .hs_fs file. If I use the HS option, then I get both a .hs and a .hs_fs file. I'm deleting the Debug folder between build changes so the file is being built and not just lingering.

    My colleague also tested that version with build scripts and observed that with DEVICE_TYPE?=GP, the output was a .hs_fs file and with DEVICE_TYPE?=HS, the output was a .hs file which is what you are seeing in the latest version.

    As for why the GP build produces HS-FS outputs, it's because GP support has been descoped and so the GP build is set to produce the required .hs_fs files for the HS-FS silicon that is now shipping for all EVMs / orders.

    Best Regards,

    Ralph Jacobi

  • Hi 

    On the side note: GP device support has been descoped from sdk 09.00: AM243x MCU+ SDK: Release Notes 09.00.00 (ti.com)
