SYSBIOS and SYSLINK for OMAPL138 experimenter kit

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138, OMAP-L138, SYSBIOS, TMS320C6748

Hi 

I'm using the OMAPL138 experimenter kit from Zoom and I would like to know if it is possible to use  DVSDK for  OMAP-L138 Low-Cost Development Kit (which is based on SYSBIOS and SYSLINK)

rather then DVSDK_4.03 04_03_00_06 (which use DSPBIOS and DSPLink which is no longer supported and it is not recomended for new design)

Thank you,

Jiri

    Hi Jiri,

    It is not possible to use the DVSDK released for LCDK on top of OMAPL138 experimenter kit.

        Please compare the components of OMAP-L138 Linux SDK for the OMAP-L138/TMS320C6748 EVM (DVSDK) and OMAP-L138 Linux SDK for the OMAP-L138/C6748 Development Kit here.

    The OMAP-L138 Linux SDK for the OMAP-L138/C6748 Development Kit (LCDK) does not include the multimedia components. This SDK works only on OMAP-L138 LCDK.

    Hi Rajasekaran,
    thank for your answer.
    I understand that SDK for LCDK does not include the multimedia components.
    Basically I would like to follow TI's C6000 Embedded Design Workshop Using BIOS with OMAPL138 experimenter kit.
    They use Experimenter kit and this workshop is based on latest SYS/BIOS and SYSLINK.
    So not having multimedia components on Experimenter Kit is not an issue for me (at least now, for that Design Workshop)
    My understanding from that workshop is that I can use the latest SYS/BIOS, SYSLink and XDC Tools on OMAPL138 Experimenter Kit.
    Which are exactly components on SDK for LCDK. 
    Can I use SDK for LCDK on OMAPL138 Experimenter Kit if I need only SYS/BIOS,SYSLink,IPC,XDC tools on DSP and interprocess communication between ARM and DSP and I don't mind missing multimedia components?

    Hi Jiri,

    Thanks for clarification. I thought you were looking for DVSDK.

    From my understanding you can use the SDK released for LCDK.

    The Linux SDK of LCDK is having different Linux kernel version.

    You will have to download the Linux PSP & syslink (Linux) and rebuild it for OMAPL-138 experimenter kit.

    Please keep the DSP components unchanged. Please update us on progress.

    Thanks.

    Hi Rajasekaran,

    I can confirm, that your advice works.

    I followed this tutorial: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP-L138_LCDK_Linux_Software_Developer%27s_Guide

    and built all latest packages:

    bios 6_35_01_29

    ipc 1_25_02_12

    xdctools 3_25_00_48

    syslink 2_21_01_05

    ti_cgt_c6000 7.3.3

    then I built linux kernel from LCDK  (linux-3.1.10-lcdk_v0.bz2)

    and used target filesystem from LCDK too (omapl138-lcdk-fs.tar.gz).

    After reboot I tried all syslink examples and they worked correctly.
