SYS/BIOS running on both ARM-side and DSP-side of OMAP-L137

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L137

Hi BIOS Team,

Can the SYS/BIOS be designed and simultaneously running on both the ARM-side and DSP-side of the OMAP-L137? Do you have a SDK that can be used as a reference?

Regards,

Hi Ping,

Yes, SYS/BIOS supports and provides examples for both the ARM and DSP sides of the OMAP-L137.

Thanks, Whitney.

How about the peripheral (UART, I2C, ...) control? Which controls belong to ARM and which controls belong to DSP? Can we programming SYS/BIOS on ARM side to control UART1 while the SYS/BIOS on DSP side controlling the UART2? How about McASP0, 1, and 2? Can these interfaces be assigned to either ARM side or DSP side as we wish?

Ping,

SYS/BIOS does not provide drivers for peripherals like UART, I2C, etc...although it can help you manage the interrupts associated with them. I'm not very familiar with your device and how the peripherals are assigned. Perhaps posting a question to the OMAP-L13x forum would be more helpful.
