When i use CCS loads the C66_1 firmware and gets stuck in the os_init function. Could you advise whether the DSP core can run independently? What is the reason for being stuck in the os_init function?

Hi,
Could you advise whether the DSP core can run independently?
Yes. You can run a core independently. You can compile code using c6x/c7x compiler and run the same as a baremetal application.
What is the reason for being stuck in the os_init function?
Which executable are you running here? Can you please provide more information about the same.

I directly loaded the vx_app_rtos_linux_c6x_1.out file from the vision_apps/out/J721E/C66/FREERTOS/debug/ directory via CCS.
Hi,
To run examples from Vision Apps, you can follow the method outlined here:
https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-rtos-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/vision_apps/docs/user_guide/ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.html
Also, could you please try building a simple baremetal application and loading it using CCS instead of a Vision Apps example?
Are you following the steps mentioned in the CCS setup guide here?

I have no problem loading baremetal application directly, but how do I load an RTOS system?I followed the two user guides you mentioned above to configure the environment.
Hi,
For RTOS systems, it is recommended to connect using UART. You can build the Vision Apps executables with the DEBUG flag and use GDB to debug the code.
Please refer to the following E2E thread for more details:
