SYS/BIOS vs Linux on Keystone II ARM

William H

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS, OMAP3530

I am developing a system where a DSP will interact and process data from an FPGA. The system will also use the ARMs onboard to transmit control data to the DSPs and also recieve DSP data in order to send that data to a computer over Ethernet. I would like to use the ARMs in a sort of Master Slave configuration where 1 ARM core will be the master of sorts. Is it possible using linux/SYS/BIOS to treat each core as an individual or will this all be masked by the operating system. Also, I am having trouble finding, documentation out there about the use of SYS/BIOS on the ARM. Most of the documentation is for the DSP cores, would you mind pointing me in the right direction. Thanks

Hi William,

As of now, Keystone II ARM does not support SysBIOS. The current MCSDK 3.0 has the support to SMP Linux runs on ARM cores.

The future MCSDK releases will have the support to SysBIOS on ARM core. The SYSBIOS supported devices are listed in below link.

Thanks.

Hi Raja,

I just want to know the possibility for SYSBIOS support on Keystone ARM core rather than your Linux OS in near releases of MCSDK software version?

Since my firm is interested for core development of our product in Keystone ARM based on SYSBIOS, we are interested in the SYSBIOS support on MCSDK. As we had comfortable experience with SYS/BIOS DSP usage for SDR high data rate waveforms in OMAP3530, we would like to extend our expertise for a product in Keystone ARM core.

Is there any timeline for the release of MCSDK with SYBIOS support for ARM?

Regards,

Hi Shino,

There is no more new/updated MCSDK for keystone devices. You can use the latest Processor SDK 2.x released for keystone devices that supports SYS/BIOS on ARM cores.

Please find the download and migration guide link below my signature.

Thank you.

Please use CCSv6.1.2 along with processor SDK 2.x.

Thank you.
