Can 6748 support GPMC?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6748

I found the concept GPMC from a starterware package belongs to TMS320c6748.

But I think it should be a misktake. GPMC should be a hardware peripheral, isn't it?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "concept".  Perhaps you could provide further detail.

    EDIT : As Mukul mentioned, the GPMC is actually not on the TMS320C6748 as I previously and incorrectly mentioned.

    The GPMC is a hardware module on the TMS320C6748 that is used to connect to memory devices via an asynchronous interface.  The General Purpose Memory Controller has registers inside the module to configure the interface.  Therefore, the StarterWare software package has a low level driver, or initializaiton code that can be used to assist in the configuring of the interface.

    Hi

    C6748 does not have the GPMC module, the equivalent functionality is provided by the EMIFA module on C6748. The gpmc source code/folder that you see in the package is for another device that supports Starterware. You may see these source files, but they are not used in any of builds/binaries required for C6748. 

    Regards
