sys/bios AM1808/1806 stand-alone makefile

0xffff

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1808, SYSBIOS, AM1806

Hi. I'm trying to get a stand-alone makefile to build a binary for the AM1808 experimenter kit (as well as a custom 1806 board), without Code Composer Studio, on a Linux host.

The document I'm going off of is the sys/bios 6.32 Getting Started Guide, which has a section on using sys/bios as a standalone product.

I've got sys/bios 6_32_05_54, xdc tools 3_22_04_46, and the Codesourcery gcc cross-compiler installed.

I can't seem to generate the examples without the ti code generation tools. Are these tools necessary (can I use the Codesourcery arm9 compiler instead)? Can I install them without installing CCS?

The other example I've tried is from:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/SYS/BIOS_with_GCC

That example makefile is for stellaris LM3S9B90, and I'm not sure how to modify it for an AM1808. For example, the platform to pass to configuro, the closest I could find would be ti.platforms.evmOMAPL138?

I also can't seem to find any documentation on how I would load/debug the binary outside of CCS.

I'm not even sure if this is the right forum to post in, but my question didn't seem appropriate for the CCS forum or the TI Compiler forum.

Sorry for the delayed response on this. Generally when you are not sure, it is appropriate to post in the device forum but I think your questions might be answered better by the software experts on the SYSBIOS forums so I am moving the thread there.

Regards,

Thanks for moving it.

We currently only support the Cortex M3/M4 parts with gcc, so for the ARM926 on AM1806 you will need to use the TI compiler. If this is acceptable and you need an example linux makefile to build an application, let us know and we can post one.

In the wiki page you've posted, it mentions that GCC is supported as of SYS/BIOS 6.33.00.19. You'll need to update your version of SYS/BIOS and XDCtools. Once you've done that, you should be able to find a section called "Building an Application with GCC" in the SYS/BIOS User's Guide.

Let me know if that fixes things.

Mark: That would probably work! If you could post one, that'd be great.

Tom: Thanks for pointing me to that section in the updated documentation. Unfortunately, it's also a makefile for stellaris LM3S9B90 devices. Is modifying it for AM1806/AM1808 even possible, according to Mark's answer? If so, that would be ideal.

Kyle,

Here's the example. It's based on the following wiki article which you could read for an explanation. Just change the directory paths at the top of the Makefile in the accompanying tar.gz file and run make.

And, unfortunately, we do not currently support ARM926 with gcc (but may in the future - tell your local TI apps engineer that you want it.)
