Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to use arago as i am beginner in this?

I am using tera term software to see the booting commands in OMAP L138 experimentor kit.

Is there any documentation or commands of using arago?

I want to develope "Text to speech" system on OMAP L138. So what should i do or what i need in arago?

Thanks

    Hi Mahesh,

    Arago is a toolchain to build the packages for linux.

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Arago_build_recipe_for_OMAPL1

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../PSP_Linux_Development_FAQ

    Why did you need arago for "text to speech" system ?

    Please refer to the following TI wiki.

    Sir, I am doing a project titled 'Text To Speech for Gujarati Language'. I have codes for the same which i have written in python and also used festival software. But now i want to implement it on hardware OMAP L138. When i started the kit using SD card provided it boots arago. So i have that option for implementation.

    "In brief, i want to give an image file or scanned image which is of Gujarati language. The system should work on it, execute the code for the same andgive response in audio format..."

    So any suggestions or guidelines for this?

    Hi Mahesh,

    Thanks for choosing the TI processor to do your project. All the best for your project.

    As a first step of doing a project, you may have to finalize on the following.

    1. A target platform / an existing LCDK boards on which the software program is going to get executed . -- This, you have decided to be OMAPL138. Are you going to use the EVM/LCDK boards released by TI or you are going to design a custom board with OMAPL138?

    2. On which core you are planning to use and execute your software? I mean, the OMAPL138 processor has two cores, a DSP core and an ARM core. And you have to set up a development environment to develop, run and debug your software.

    If you select, the DSP core, the development environment would be CCS ( i.e., compiler ) and a  JTAG emulator. ( CCS installed on Windows /Linux machine). For this, TI has already provided the starterware ( non- OS) and BIOS pacakges,

    If you select the ARM core, the development environment would be a linux machine and a toolchain ( Arago ) to cross compile your software to make it compatible for the ARM architecture and to run on the ARM core. -- For this, TI has already provided the Bootloader, Linux and the tool chain ( here the tool chain is arago ) . On top of linux, you can run your app.

    I hope this gives you some clarity on how you have to proceed further.

    Revert back if you have any questions.

    The following links will be useful to you in knowing the OMAPL138 better.

    Thank you sir for a great guidance..

    I am using Zoom OMAP L138 experimenter kit (TMDSEXPL138) and using ARM core for the project and coding. I am clear about these basic features of the kit but want to know about arago usage.

    My question is how to use arago (like command lines n coding) and how to run a particular software or program on arago platform. So provide some documentations or details(means coding) of arago and it's use(how)..

    Hi Mahesh,
    We don't have a Ubuntu support for this platform .

    Able to run on PC and got the effective results ?
    I hope it could run on PC which has python support.

    You can build the filesystem through online web builder for angstrom. Just you have to mention the board name and package details.

    Just, you can enable the python and required packaged and build it as a *.tar.gz file or image file (.jffs).

    TI__Guru** 116100 points
    Hi Mahesh,
    Just enable USB support (USB HID DEV and USB HID RAW) in linux through make menuconfig.
    Thats enough.

    When i boot 'arago' in the kit and insert the usb cble of mouse into the usb port of the OMAP L138 kit, it does not effect means the port is not enabled yet?

    So i am asking is there any need of driver to use mouse in arago (for example we have to install usb drivers in windows)??????

    So give me some information about that..

    "Because in Matrix application launcher(which is preinstalled or booted in the kit by company itself) i can not move the courser all over. It moves only horizontally and it is very unstable. That is why i am trying to use mouse instead of touch screen." So help me in a particular direction.
