Linux MCSDK 2.0 Release Update

Brad Griffis

We show an August 2011 release of Linux MCSDK 2.0 on this wiki page:

http://linux-c6x.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap

Do we have any updates on that schedule?  Will it still be this month?  Is it very soon or more like end of the month?

Thanks,
Brad

    Brad,

     

    We just made a Beta 2 Release yesterday

    http://linux-c6x.org/wiki/index.php/Linux-c6x_2.0-Beta2_Release

    http://linux-c6x.org/pipermail/linux-c6x-dev/2011-August/000041.html

    We are in the process of soon making the the GA release for Linux MCSDK 2.0.

    We intend to make the GA release by the end of the month.

     

    Regards,

    There seems to be some confusion,  MCSDK and Linux-c6x  are completely different projects. The MCSDK is a collection of packages for SYS/BIOS while Linux-c6x is compiling an image that runs a Linux kernel on the DSP.

    Sandeep answered about Linux-c6x, and for anyone reading the title looking for MCSDK: unfortunately, I myself do not know when the Linux version of MCSDK will be released. I myself haven't tried, but I would suggest it's possible to install it on Windows and copy the generated folders.  I think the "installation" part just registers it in the Windows Start Menu -- while any of the important "path" variables *might* just be inside the directory structure with the eclipse folders.

    Tim,

    These terms might mean different things to different people.  Perhaps I was using the term incorrectly, but I was indeed referring to the Linux-c6x project.  FYI, ti.com seems to imply there are Linux MCSDKs and BIOS MCSDKs.  That terminology is consistent with our ARM/DSP devices where we have Linux SDKs and BIOS SDKs.  Here's a screenshot of what I'm referring to:
