AM2632: CLI command interpreter available?

Part Number: AM2632

Tool/software:

Anyone knows a CLI (command line interpreter) as starting point for AM263x? 

Checked the one at https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/FreeRTOS_Plus_CLI/FreeRTOS_Plus_Command_Line_Interface.html

but there is no straightforward way of compiling it.

Many functions are not the same (like f_open in FreeRTOS_PLUS vs FF_Open in the mcu_plus_sdk_am263x, same is valid with the UART implementation where the freertos generic way has way other functions than the ones in the SDK UART driver).

Or I am looking to the wrong Freertos implementation? 

Best Regards

  • You may need to adapt the FreeRTOS+CLI to work with the TI-specific implementations of filesystem (FF_Open vs f_open) and UART drivers.

  • Hi Brown59592,

    • We don't have the support for FreeRTOS_Plus_CLI in the MCU_PLUS_SDK as of now with no plans of adding it in immediate releases.
    • We have the support for FreeRTOS, FreeRTOS_PLUS_POSIX and the FreeRTOS_FAT only.
    • The functions FF_functionname() all belong to the FreeRTOS_FAT. If you wish to use the FreeRTOS_Plus_CLI, you will have to integrate and configure, compile it yourself.

  • I was afraid of this answer tbh :)

    Is there any telnet, cli, file transfer implementation for Sitara which can be easier to adapt rather than using the PLUS_CLI?

    I have seen the XMODEM example but basically what I need is a console which permits debugging (what Freertos CLI has is enough), filetransfer (to SD) and some basic user management too.

    What is important for us is to have the UART communication compatible with existing windows/linux programs like Teraterm or putty variants. Or something close to telnet. The freertos one is compatible with Teraterm to a certain extent ...

    Im afraid this is not something provided in the out of box SDK and as mentioned, would have to be integrated/implemented by you.
