C665x driver support in SYS/BIOS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Good day experts,

I am currently evaluating the C6657 multicore DSP by means of the TMDSEVM6657LS  EVM from eInfochips.

I am very familiar with the C6748 under DSP/BIOS in CCS5.x but after having fired up this C66x EVM, I was surprised not to easily find SYS/BIOS device drivers for  most the C6657 peripherals. 

I noticed that the following items did contain some drivers:

- MCSDK v2.1.1.4

- PDK C6657 v1.1.1.4 (include's CSL support)

However, since I am new to both the C6657 and SYS/BIOS, I was hoping there would perhaps be some simple UART driver available for a hello world application (as was the case with BIOSPSP for C6748/OMAP-L138).

Am I missing something here or is it necessary to write a UART driver from scratch? 

  • Hi,

    Welcome to multi-core device forum.

    We have one stop solution for keystone devices that is MCSDK. The MCSDK 2.x has all the required packages to develop application, demos on Keystone I devices.

    Your understanding on driver above is correct. The CSL, Drivers and examples are available under PDK directory. The PDK is part of MCSDK as welll. Please find the download and user guide link for Keystone I devices below my signature.

    The UART test code is available under platform directory.

    Thank you.
