Sys/Bios Diagnostics

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello,

We will be using TI's OMAP-L138, but we understand Sys/Bios cannot support the ARM. If we use Starterware combined with Sys/Bios will we still have the diagsnostics capabilities? Or only on the DSP?

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

You can run SYS/BIOS on the ARM on the OMAP-L138. What gave you the impression that you could not?

Yes, but it does not have a peripheral support packge for the ARM, am I right? For peripheral support on the Arm9 I'd need to use Starterware.

Yes, you are correct. We have not tested the PSP with SYS/BIOS.

Which diagnostic capabilities are you referring to?

Hello Todd,

This is the information I got:

The following diagnostics capabilities are available…

Diagnostics	Log	Allows events to be logged and then passes those events to a Log handler.
	Assert	Provides for configurable assertion diagnostics.
	Error	Allows raising, checking, and handling errors defined by any modules.
	Timestamp	Provides time-stamping APIs that forward calls to a platformspecific time stamper (or one provided by CCS).
	Diags	Allows diagnostics to be enabled/disabled at either configuration- or run-time on a per-module basis.

Hi Michelle,

Actually all of these can be used without SYS/BIOS. They are part of XDCtools (which is OS independent). You'll need to make your project a RTSC project with a .cfg file.
