SYS/BIOS issue on tms320dm8168

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM8168, SYSBIOS

Hi,

Am using TMS320DM8168 EVM (Netra) Board with CCSv5.1.

As this board is having cortex A8 (Host)Processor,C674x as DSP.

I checked the bios semianrs on ti website and going accordingly .When i tried to run small available example code on this board then it is going in infinite loop.

Like as this board having arm as well as dsp ,so firstly I Connected the cortex A8 and then according to wiki page I connected the C674x taget,

But when I am running the code after the connection of target,it is showing the C674x is running and it is not at all hitting the main function to print "Hello world (AS AVAILABLE IN  SYS/BIOS GENERIC EXAMPLES)".

I am following  the wiki procedure to run bios.

Please let me know the solution .Waiting for your  solutions..

  • Hi studinstru,

    Can you post the link to the TI wiki/website you are referring ? Also, what version of SYS/BIOS are you running ?

    Best,

  • Hi Ashish,

    Please find below link :

    http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/210118/747350.aspx#747350

    According to the answers from TI guy I proceed and I am able to run the code on DSP only and Arm only individually.

    Now I want to start the BIOS programming .I am new to this.

    I am going through bios seminars from ti and proceeding accordingly.

    When I tried to run the "Hello world "code(Generic examples) ,that time it gave me above mentioned problems.

    Problem :No source is available (0x80000000).....

    Some time it is going in Timer.c file and going in infinite loop.

    I'm using following things:

    Board :TMS320DM8168 EVM.

    CCS:  CCSv5.1

    BIOS: 6.32.5.34

    XDCtool version: 3.22.4.46

    JTAG: XDS510 USB

    Please tell me the solution on this .

  • Please do the reply !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hi Studentstru,

    In order to help you quickly I would need to have a look at your project. Can you do a Build Clean from CCS (to reduce project size), zip up your project and attach it to your post ?

    Best,

  • Hi Ashish,

    pfa of my workspace.Please let me know the modifications and steps to overcome that problems.

    Please reply as soon as possible.waiting for your suggestions(As it is taking so much time to run small hello world code by using sys/bios).

    This mentioned attached project is the sample project of  sys/bios in ccsv5.1.

    Error: No source available for "0x800000"

    Can't find a source file at "/db/vtree/library/trees/avala/avala-p52x/src/ti/sysbios/timers/dmtimer/Timer.c"
    Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location.

    view Disassembly...

    Locate File...

    As if that reference is not running so what reference we have to take to run the bios ????

  • Hi Ashish ,

    I got the answer.

    For running SYS/BIOS code on TMS320DM8168 EVM board,we have to select platform as ti.evm.C6748 instead of ti.evm.dm8168.

    After selecting this platform in RTSC ,I got the required output.
