Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello all,

I got myself a new OMAP-L138 LCDK to work with but I can't find any Getting started or User guide for this developement kit.
All I can find is for the EVM and they are quite different.

Anyone knows where to find a descent guide or a video tutorial?

Thanks,
Joel

For Software development:

All the procedure required to setup the LCDK board with the linux SDK, have been described here:

Download:

Getting Started Guide:

Software developers guide:

For DSP development, we provide the C6-BIOS SDK. The user guide and downloads are linked from the product folder here:

http://www.ti.com/tool/biossw-c6748?DCMP=dsp-c6-lcdk-120524&HQS=dsp-c6-lcdk-b2-sw

I believe, the LCDK kit ships with a SD card with the SDK and the linux kernel and uboot, preflashed on it. If you follow the instructions on the getting started guide(also provided on the kit). You should be able to see linux boot. As far as videos are concerned if you scroll down on the product folders of the ti.com links I have provided there are some video getting started videos.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your development.

Best Regards,

Rahul

Hey Brandon and Rahul,

I appreciate your help.

I want to use the OMAP-l138 with SYS\BIOS and I have few more questions:

1. Doesn't the LCDK have a built-in JTAG like the c2000 control cards have for flash burning and debug? Do I have to buy an external JTAG?

2. Why does this KIT arrive with SD card when there is only microSD slot on the board?

3. Where can I find the source code for the finger-print demo? I can only find the source code for the face-detect demo.

Thanks,

Joel

Hi Joel,

I have an OMAP-L138 LCDK and have used Code Composer Studio to develop for the C6748 side. As far as I am aware

1. The LCDK doesn't have onboard JTAG emulation - you'll have to buy an external emulator. I have used the Spectrum Digital XDS100v2.

2. The SD card is in fact an adapter and the micro SD card is inside it. (The micro SD card that comes with the OMAP-L138 LCDK has Linux on it.

3. This doesn't appear to have been included in the SDK.

Regards,

Donald

Finger printing software is released in binary form as this is a licensed software from TI third party Authentec. The LCDK is having the Authentec fingerprinting sensor. TI recommends that you contact Authentec for your production development of product with finger printing software provided with the BIOS SDK.
