Hi,
Would you please provide a "Quick set up Guide or development guide or start up guide for C6678 and C6678-EVM " to enable a quick product development ?
Master-FAQ List – C6678 and C6678-EVM
Introduction:
This Master-FAQ document will help to explore the functions and features of C6678 Processor device using the C6678-Evaluation Module(EVM) with SDK. Going through these FAQ-list will help the customer to get good hands-on experience on the C6678-EVM and help for a smoother and quicker navigation to their customized product development.
Content-List
For hassle-free experience, user is requested to follow the steps sequentially.
1.The Latest SDK –
There are many versions of SDK released for C6678 processor. When this document is written, this is the latest.
|
SDK NAME |
Download link |
|
PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C667x 06_03_00_106 |
For older versions of SDK, visit https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-C667X
Click --> "Download" --> Previous versions https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C667X#previous-versions
Please ensure, the revision number of C6678-EVM matches with the SDK version ( here 6.3 is used ) .
2.The (IDE) Integrated development environment –
As the PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C667x 06_03_00_106 is tested to run successfully in CCS version 9.3.0.00012 without any errors, the users are recommended to stick to this CCS version.
However, the user, may use, the higher versions of CCS, as their own choice. TI could not guarantee solution, if errors faced while using in-compatible versions of CCS with SDK.
