AM3517 Win CE Board Low Level Bring Up

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335, AM3517

 

We are at the early debug and bring up of our first AM3517boards.

 

Looking over the web, mostly ti.com, I have found a lot of information. However much of the information is related to higher level development(Linux and windows CE) and not as much to the very low level development. I would like to stay in Windows for development of boot loader and drivers and not have to add Linux to the mix. There seems to be more information about the Linux side of things as more Linux users seem to post questions or web pages related to linux development.

 

Here is what I have so far.

A one day workshop and files. The PPT slides are there but it’s not a complete process of bring up the Debuging…

  1.       http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM3517_On-line_Workshop
  2.       This workshop does not fully cover JTAG.
  3.      The attached file: CCSv5 AdvancedWorkshiop.pdf provides some details about JTAG setup.(would like to see a bit more about how one gets some of this setup before its all on the computer compiler output for debug etc. the LCD test example is almost enoughJ )
  4.  The following  links are what I have read up on E2E and find some useful details:

Software and Tools:

  1.        I have downloaded the code sourcery windows EABI most recent release.
  2.       I Have CCSv5.1 installed and working with the TMS320F28335
  3.        We are planning to get Spectrum Digital USB510 debugers as these work with Linux should we need to go that route.
  4.       The BSP files for WEC7
  5.      VS2008 and Platform Builder for the WEC7 development. This compiles and loads in a Vitural PC. (Have not tried a EVM boot of the output files)

 

This is what I would like to be able to do:

  1.        We  need to setup a host development with CCSv5.1 and debug the AM3517 at a low level(JTAG not KITL or Serial port).
  2.        What compiler can we use to develop  boot loader code for Windows Embedded Compact 7. Is there a documented method for getting this to work with AM3517 and also debug the code using JTAG in CCSv5.1?

 

Thanks for any information you can provide!
