hello;
i want to buy a TMS320C6670 Evaluation Modules - TMDSEVM6670L
so i want to know how to send the data by serial port and Eathnet (any paper or examples)
another thing which is better to send data on : hyberlink or serial or Eathernet

Ahmed,
To send data, you will use drivers and examples that come with the board, as described on the Product Page at the link on your post above. Or you can use the drivers and examples that come with the Multicore Software Development Kit (MCSDK) version 2 that you can download from the TI Wiki Pages or TI.com.

there no a technical document in the page of the kit and i can't find an example explaining how to send data to a serial port , please help me .
you didn't answer to my question , which port is easy to deal with ,serial or hyberlink or Eathernet .
Ahmed,

On the DVD that ships with the EVM there is a BIOS MCSDK folder. In that folder is a User's Guide that includes several references to UART. Please search for those references, and then you will find the components of the MCSDK that will support the use of the UART. You will then go to those components, like PDK, to find documentation and examples for the UART. You must first install the MCSDK before finding the PDK documentation.
The User's Guide also includes code snippets for the UART, and mentions interaction with the UART in the built-in demos. All of this comes with the kit.

Search on the keyword UART as well as SERIAL in the documentation. You must first install the MCSDK.

The UART serial port will be easy to deal with. Ethernet is more complex to use than the UART serial port.

thank you for your reply
i didn't buy the Kit yet because it's out of stock until now , so i don't have the DVD , but i searched for it and didn't find it
if you have this DVD, please send it to me to be familiar with kit before buying it .
Sorry for my several question .
Ahmed,
My sincere apologies, but I will not send you my DVD and it might not be appropriate for me to send the DVD or a copy anyway. Someone else might know the issues with doing that, but I do not.
For your current purposes, you can download the MCSDK from the TI Wiki Pages. Be sure you get the one for the C66x.
The EVM manufacturer is Advantech. I do not know if access to their support page requires a board registration, but you may be able to communicate with them to get some support in addition to the MCSDK.
But I think the MCSDK may answer most of your questions.

thank you for your response
i just want to know the exact date that the kit will be in stock because i sent an e-mail to ti e-store and didn't reply to me.
another thing what is the difference between UART & SRIO (Both are serial interface ?)
and what is your opinion about using hyber link in transmitting data ?
Ahmed,
Your email to the e-store is the correct way to get information on e-store products. Try again.
In the Training section of TI.com, there is a training video set for the C66x SOC architecture. It will be helpful for you to review many of the modules. You can find the complete video set here.
The datasheet and User Guides describe the several peripherals that are included on the C6670 device. Your understanding from reading those documents will help you determine which is best suited for your needs.
For example, on page 11 Section 1 of the C6670 datasheet, under Hyperlink, it says that Hyperlink "Supports Connections to Other KeyStone Architecture Devices".
Determine your system's communication requirements and then study the various peripherals to determine which would meet those requirements.
Regards,
RandyP
