Original question:

CCSTUDIO: THEIA: how to create a new System project for AM6x from scratch that has sysconfig pre-populated

PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: Linux SDK / support - looking for a procedure to add an A53 core to a MCU+ SDK generated SysConfig system design example

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6442, SYSCONFIG

Given what Kai on CCS support has stated about taking a previous design example to modify the SysConfig file (in CCS v13) , I would like to see one of the following examples that involves an A53 on the AM6442 (any one would be sufficient):

1) A procedure to modify /add the A53 Linux core into a SysConfig tool generated design example that was taken from the MCU+ SDK (that uses only R5/M4 cores in FreeRTOS) to create a system design OR

2) A system design example (having a SysConfig tool generated file) that uses at least one A53 core in Linux and at least one R5 core in FreeRTOS , which then can be modified and/or expanded.

thanks

    Hello Jim,

    Thanks for reaching out to Texas Instruments E2E support forum.

    Can you please elaborate your query more?

    What is the exact use case?

    The MCU+SDK has empty examples for both R5F and A53 cores which one can modify according to their use case.

    Tushar:

     This request is not just for the MCU+ SDK directly, moreso how to take an R5/M4 FreeRTOS example from the MCU+SDK and to interact with the A53 running 64 bit Linux as a system design to clone from.

    The intent is to run the A53 on Linux (as we will not be using FreeRTOS on the A53) 

    Maybe we should consult with Nick on the Linux side on how that could be done. The other alternative starter example I suggested has an A53 running Linux & the R5 running FreeRTOS (that would already be a system design).

    Hello Jim,

    Keep in mind point 3 from https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1360368/ccstudio-theia-how-to-create-a-new-system-project-for-am6x-from-scratch-that-has-sysconfig-pre-populated/5192212#5192212: 

    When we say "SysConfig system project", please keep in mind that we are ONLY referring to cores running MCU+ SDK. Linux SDK does not currently have any integration with SysConfig system projects, and as far as I am aware there is no integration planned. You will still need to manually track the Linux memory & peripherals to prevent resource conflicts.

    If you have questions specifically about adding or removing MCU+ SDK cores to a SysConfig system project, I can reassign your thread to another team member as discussed in the previous thread.

    If you have questions about getting Linux running alongside an MCU+ SDK system project, I'll hold onto your thread and provide responses.

    Regards,

    Nick
