Code Generation Tools. Endian-ness converter

Ziad Akl-Chedid

HI Any,

I'm stuck porting a DSP development environment from window to Linux, and now find myself looking for the linux equivalent of the bconvert64x.exe utility. I know I could use the windows utility in linux using "wine", but as it seems that even the windows "bconvert64x.exe" utility was developed in linux to begin with.

So I'm assuming that somewhere, someone has the linux equivalent of this tool and maybe others too (I'm thinking of the tools provided in the "boottest" package). Also, there might be a generic endiannes converter that would work too.

Thanks in advance.

Ziad,

Go with what works, if wine will do the job then use it. We have released the tools that have been tested and been made available.

If you want more information on Compiler Tools, I will be glad to have this thread moved to the Compiler Forum. Just let me know.

Regards,
RandyP

Hi Randy,

Thanks for your reply. I do prefer to have the linux purposed tool (for development process tracking). TI should have Linux Compiler Tools available somewhere, but I can't seem to locate them. I would appreciate any info on there location.

Feel free to move this thread to Compiler forum.

Cheers

Please see this wiki article for information how to obtain both Windows and Linux versions of the compiler tools.

Trying 'wine bconvert64x' is not working (bconvert48x crashing). So I guess the only other alternative is to get the Linux version of 'bconvert64x' tool (or maybe the source code for that). Any idea where I can find this? (it's not in the wiki article you suggested)

Thanks in advance

I am not familiar with the bconvert64x tool. It does not come with the compiler tools. You would need to repost or follow up on that question in the C64x device forum.

Ziad,

Which device are you using? I did not see that point of detail in the thread.

For the time being I'm using "tms320tci6486".

the 'bconvert64x' is an endianness converter that acts on the 'btbl' image.
