Why c6678 EVM needs IBL for SPI boot and our custom board does not require IBL?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678

Hi,

I understood that c6678 EVM needs to IBL boot from 0x51 initially through I2c to configure PLL, as initially lot of c6678 is having a issue of PLL. And custom board doesn’t require IBL to boot from SPI NOR flash. But, how do I know my assembled c6678 DSP is not from first lot.

Could someone post more details how to find out IBL requirement to custom board?

Thank you

  • Hi,

    Refer section "3.3.3 JTAG ID Register (JTAGID) Description" on C6678 data manual. It will be help you to find out the C6678 silicon version. Also refer the "Figure 2-17 C66x DSP Device Nomenclature (including the TMS320C6678)".

    Thanks,
