TMS320C6678: hyperlink analysis-mode lack of implementation manual

Part Number: TMS320C6678

hello

we have two c6678 that are connected together using Hyperlink (on same board). these two DSPs also connected through an SRIO link.

we want to run analysis process mentioned in section 8.2.3.1 of sprabc1 document, but there is lots of ambiguity around mentioned algorithm.

all of steps mentioned in section 8.2.3.1 of sprabc1 are from DSP in Rx side of link. what we hoped for is to change Pre-cursor and Post-cursor and swing parameters in Tx-serdes of one DSP and check analysis results in Rx-serdes of other DSP by using SRIO link between two DSPs as a synchronization signal. but it seems nothing is happening when we Trig algorithm mentioned in sprabc1 in Rx-Side after changing Tx-Side Serdes settings.

it seems that some steps are missing from analysis process mentioned in section 8.2.3.1 of sprabc1 (at least from Tx-side point of view) .

we also have checked examples in latest version of TI-RTOS SDK ( "ti-processor-sdk-rtos-c667x-evm-06.03.00.106" ), but that example was exact implementation of algorithm mentioned in section 8.2.3.1 of sprabc1. also that example is written in loopback mode and therefor has no use for us that have two DSPs separated from each other.

interestingly, SRIO link is stable with no issue. that's why we are using it as synchronization signal between Two DSPs for trigging analysis start.
