Tool/software:
Hello TI Community,
We are currently working with the 66AK2G12 SoC (KeyStone II architecture) based development board (already purchased) and need help with the following tasks:
- Running Bare-Metal Code: We aim to run bare-metal code on the 66AK2G12 SoC. We would appreciate any guidance on setting up a bare-metal application environment for the ARM and DSP cores.
- Booting from SPI/NAND Flash: We are looking for support on how to download the application code to SPI or NAND Flash and configure the system to boot from there.
Requirements:
-
Bare-Metal Code Setup:
- Example: We are seeking a basic example of a bare-metal project for the 66AK2G12, particularly focusing on initializing the system (clock, GPIO, memory, etc.) and running simple code on the ARM and DSP cores.
- Toolchain: We plan to use Code Composer Studio (CCS) or GCC to compile the code. Are there specific steps or configurations required for setting up a bare-metal environment?
- Start-up Files: Do we need specific start-up files (e.g., linker scripts, startup assembly files) for both the ARM and DSP cores? Any recommended resources?
-
Booting from SPI or NAND Flash:
- SPI Boot: Could you provide steps or examples of configuring the 66AK2G12 to boot from SPI Flash? We are interested in knowing how to load the bare-metal code into SPI Flash and how to configure the boot sequence.
- NAND Boot: If booting from NAND Flash is more suitable, we would like guidance on how to configure and download the code to NAND Flash.
- Memory Layout: We are unsure about how to organize memory for booting from either SPI or NAND. Any recommendations on partitioning or memory layout for these storage types?
Questions:
- Are there specific start-up files or initialization sequences recommended for bare-metal development on this platform (especially with ARM and DSP cores)?
- Is there a reference example or tutorial available for running bare-metal code on the 66AK2G12?
- Can you share instructions or reference materials on how to configure SPI or NAND Flash booting for the 66AK2G12 SoC?
- Are there any pre-built bootloaders or tools from TI to assist with this process? If so, how do we integrate them with our bare-metal application?
Development Tools:
- Code Composer Studio (CCS) version: [insert version]
- TI Processor SDK: [insert version, if applicable]
- Device Family: 66AK2G12
- Boot Type: SPI/NAND Flash
We greatly appreciate your assistance in pointing us toward the correct resources, examples, or any documentation to achieve our goals.
Thank you!
