NDK/NSP for AM3359 ICE v1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3359, SYSBIOS

Hi,

we are currently trying to find a starting point for network applications to run on AM3359 ICE v1.

We are using the following Software:

Code Composer Studio 5.5.0.00077

SYS/BIOS 6.37.4.32

XDCtools 3.25.6.96

NDK 2.24.0.11

NSP 1.10.2.09

SDK 1.1.0.4

Screenshot of all installed Software within CCS:

1. We want to build the Ethernet/IP-Adapter example in the sdk package, but it fails. We built the example as it was without any changes. We got the prebuilt binary from the sdk prebuilt package to run, but it would be good to know why there are undefined symbols.

2. Is it true that you cannot use the enetLwip_sysbios example with the ICE v1 board? Unlike the Ethernet/IP-Adapter example it builds but the lwIPInit() function returns 0 when we let it run.

3. How can we use NSP for our board? The 3 examples there seem to be a very good starting point to understand the NDK and to be able to develop network applications. We know that there is no NSP directly for the AM3359 but the download page for NSP states that Cortex-A8 processors are supported.

We have read that someone was able to get NSP running on an AM335x processor:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/tirtos/f/355/t/184896.aspx

Is there a good (and maybe relatively easy) way to do the same with our board?

Our main concern now is to find out what we really need for NDK to run.

Unfortunately, the NDK manuals and other threads in this forum couldn't really help us.

If you need additional information to help us let me know.

Regards,

Timo

Hi Timo,

I'm not an expert on the ISDK, but this could be a good starting point: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_SYSBIOS_Industrial_SDK_Getting_Started_Guide You can try searching the wiki for other topics that are of interest to you too.

Hi Timo,

Please find the answers for your queries.

1) It looks like you are using later version of NDK. ISDK 1.1.0.4 is compatible with NDK 2.22.3.20. Find the details here.

2) Enetlwip example works on CPSW module where as ICE1 doesnot have one . See the supported board section in User guide.

3) Regarding NSP, i am not an expert to comment. But i guess you can take the ethernetip example for your reference and add the NSP code on top of that.

Regards,

Prajith

Hi,

it seems like that this version of SDK is only compatible with the suggested NDK. With the newer NDK it wasn't even possible to properly assign an IP address.

We got the Ethernet/IP example to run and took it as a reference. We added the client example (for elf devices from the NSP) on top and the HTTP server works. Only minimal changes to the client example were necessary.

So your suggestions were right.

Thanks a a lot,

Timo

Timo,

The newer version of Industrial SDK (1.1.0.5) is out and is compatible with NDK 2.24.0.11. In case if you need to use the latest NDK you can migrate to the ISDK 1.1.0.5 version
