C6678 SRIO Boot

Brian Bell

Can code and data be loaded from SRIO to the internal memory space of core 0 (or to any of the other cores), to 16 bit EMIF, to the DRAM or any of the other peripherals?

Which document section describes this?

If SRIO is not the right port to use for boot, what interface is recommended?

Thank you in advance.

The SRIO boot is described section 3.2 in the Bootloader for the C66x DSP User's Guide which can be found in the C6678 webpage on TI.com. Check that document and see if it answers your questions.

Brian,

Also, there is a SRIO boot example in BIOS-MCSDK. Once you install the SDK, the default location is:
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\mcsdk_2_00_0x_xx\tools\boot_loader\examples\srio

This is a multicore example that uses DDR. At the end, you will see an output indicating a "Hello World" message from each core.

Hope this helps,

Raj
