PSP v2.x on ARM9

Simon Tomschik

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

I am trying to use the drivers from BIOSPSP 02.10.01 package on the ARM9 core of the DA830 DSK with quite little success up till now. The pre-compiled libraries in the package are only *.a674 libraries and if I try to build the package via the following command I only get makefiles which contain ae9 (for example ti.psp.uart.ae9.mak) but no libraries:

xdc -PR .

If I try to compile a sample application which uses the driver I just get the error: "XDC runtime error: can't find the library 'lib/DA830/ti.psp.uart.ae9". Is it possible at all to use the drivers of the package on the ARM9 core? Am I missing something with building the libraries?

Hi Simon,

Please refer the DA830_BIOSPSP_ReleaseNotes placed @ the top level docs folder in the BIOSPSP 02.10.01 package. Section3 - driver / components for this release lists all the drivers that are delivered as part of the package - which are only on DSP platform. ARM platform support is not provided/available for DA830. Whereas for OMAPL138, both DSP and ARM platform support is provided. You can refer the OMAPL138_BIOSPSP_ReleaseNotes section3 that lists components for both ARM and DSP platforms.

Hope this helps..

Thanks & regards,

Raghavendra

Thank you for your fast response. I have one further question regarding the upcoming BIOSPSP v3.x: will this release also support the ARM9 core of the DA830 or will the support for the processor stay like it is now?

Hi Simon,

As of now, even the upcoming BIOSPSP v3.x would not support the ARM9 core of the DA830. Infact, the DA830 support itself will not be provided!.

Thanks & regards,

Raghavendra

How should I understand DA830 support itself will not be provided? Does this mean that the BIOSPSP v3.x will also not support the DSP core or does this mean that the SYS/BIOS support for the DA830 will be completely dropped?

Simon,

I believe Raghavendra meant that the PSP drivers would no longer support the DA830. As far as I know, there is no plan to drop support for the DA830 for SYS/BIOS.
