AM625: The release schedule of the AM62x SDK

Guru 12050 points
Part Number: AM625

Hi, 

I previously asked about the release schedule of the SDK from the post below. SDK8.5 has been released and the OLDITX function is now available.

・I can't find such a description even if I check the release notes, where should I refer?

・Could you tell us the planned release date for SDK 8.5 or later?

・Is it correct to understand that the "NO" part that is scheduled to be released in the SDK has functions as hardware, but there are no plans to support it in the SDK in the future?

SDK release schedule:
https://dr-download.ti.com/software-development/software-development-kit-sdk/MD-BDCgfEXHLk/08.04.01.03/am62x-sw-buildsheet-8.4.0.0.v1.zip

Release notes:

https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM62X/08_05_00_21/exports/docs/devices/AM62X/linux/Release_Specific_Release_Notes.html

Thanks,

  • Hi Astro,

    The AM62x SDK v8.5 Software Build Sheet hasn't been published yet, it is still in the review phase. The relevant section for OLDI in this document shows that yes OLDITX was added with v8.5, here's a preview of it:

    Another, more basic way to find out if a certain feature is supported is to look at / search the TI Linux Kernel git commit log backwards from the Kernel commit that went into a certain SDK. For example, this link here https://git.ti.com/cgit/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/log/?h=08.05.00.007&qt=grep&q=oldi shows all OLDI related commits that went into the latest TI Kernel tagged as v8.5 (that usually means it's essentially the Kernel that went into the SDK with that version). From that you can see that OLDI-related work was performed for AM62x, which is a strong indication that support was made available officially.

    Is it correct to understand that the "NO" part that is scheduled to be released in the SDK has functions as hardware, but there are no plans to support it in the SDK in the future?

    Correct.

    Note that this build sheet is for SDK version v8.4 but I understand you are looking at it because of lack of current build sheet for v8.5. I'll see I can trigger an internal discussion to include publishing of an updated build sheet as part of the release process so this can be done in a more timely fashion moving forward.
