Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3703, OMAP3530

Could help me with the following questions with AM3703

1. Does the new Sys/bios6.0 support our chip AM3703?

2. Does Code Composer 4.0 provide us with boot loader tools?

I don't believe SYS/BIOS is supported on just AM3703. It is on AM37x based devices such as the omap3530.

You can find the Coretex-A8 supported devices here:

Paul,

CCSv4 has a few bootloader tools. Are you looking for integrated support for building ARM bootloaders?

Michael:

the customer had looked at this and it was still unclear, they need an exact answer, any way to get one?

No, SYS/BIOS does not support the ARM only Cortex A8 AM3703.

The Cortex A8 based processors that are supported, have a C64+ DSP.

Yes, I am looking for integrated support for building ARM bootloaders. My main question is if the bootloader tools all required some Operating System such as Linux or Win CE. Our system would not use any OS for the current product. My concern is if in that case, the bootloader would not work and I have to write my own. Thanks.
