Hello TI.
First of all, thank you for this amazing chip, but I as a new to Embedded world I would like to ask something from you.
I have a series of questions, I may please be answered in detail.
1) What software parts I need to write, compile codes and download the binaries into the chip.
For example (using WSL on Windows 10):
1a) For making an application that will include RF5 (main) and C7x, what software parts I will download (Which SDK etc).
1b) Where will I put my files and how to compile them suing dowloaded software parts? What should be the contents of compilation scripts etc.
1c) What files will be generated in order to program these both processors
1d) How to download my code into the chip when chip?
1e) How will I simulate my code without using board, or with using board (using print statements).
2) How will I write codes for different cores (R5F, C7x or A72 etc) and how will I tell the compiler, that this code should run on some specific core?
You might feel some of my questions to be totally uneducated, but I take whole responsibility of it, as I am just getting started with TI chips.
Hello Tahir,
Thank you for choosing this TI chip.
To begin with, please help me understand the Hardware that you are currently having?
To begin with, are you working on a EVM Board or is it a custom Board with TDA4 MidEco in it?
Based on the above input, i could guide you to different detailed collaterals we have.
TDA4Mid Eco is J721s2 and you could find the SDK for this superset device in ti.com in the below link

Hello Nikhil.
We are using a custom board. The device is TDA4 MidEco in it.
So to program, compile and download which SDK and other programs may I need? Actually I have FPGA background so just getting started. Also the procedure to compile and program the device is also a mystery for me.
Hello Tahir,
Thank you for the confirmation.
You could use the SDK package as mentioned below
For making an application that will include RF5 (main) and C7x, what software parts I will download (Which SDK etc).
Based on you uescase, you could download the PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-J721S2 and PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-J721S2
We do have various demos available in the SDK. You could follow the below user guide to download, build, flash and run the demos on the board.
Vision Apps User Guide: Build and Run (ti.com)
This shall help you get started with the board and running the demos.
Below are the list of demos available in the SDK.
Vision Apps User Guide: Applications / Demos
Please go through the above collaterals and let me know if you are facing any issues.
