Pin Mapping Tools

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678, TMS320C6657, TMS320C6672, TMS320C6671, TMS320C6655, TMS320C6654

Hello, can anyone tell me if the following requires the Pin Mapping Utility:

 

TMS320C6678

TMS320C6657

  • Hi Joe,

    The C6678 doesn't have any shared pins, with the exception of the bootmode pins which are shared with GPIO. The C6657 has more shared pins but the choices are very limited. For example, you can get EMIF or you can get UPP. In addition many of the serial interfaces such as UART or SPI can double as GPIOs. We don't bring the same interface out on multiple pins like some of the OMAP products. Since the choices were are limited we didn't see the need for a pin mapping utility.

  • Bill,

     

    Hello, thank you so much for answering my post. I'm also looking at the following:

    TMS320C6672
    TMS320C6671
    TMS320C6655
    TMS320C6654

    Is there an easy way to find out if these processors require the Pin Mapping Tool? Sometimes you have to do some digging.

     

    Thanks,

    joe

     

  • Hi Joe,

    None of the current KeyStone I or II device use a pin mapping tool of any kind. There are some shared pins but there isn't enough to require the use of a pin mapping tool.
