MCSDK MCASP_AudioExample for EVMOMAPL138

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your post.

If you check the MCSDK OMAPL138 userguide getting started, MCSDK release supports only OMAPL138 LCDK platform and not the EVM. Please check the MCSDK userguide as below:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_OMAPL138_User_Guide_Getting_Started#Supported_Devices_and_Platforms

Also, McASP audio example demo should work perfectly fine since we have already tested the same from our end and we would be able to suceed indebugging the McASP example code for both pdk_OMAPL138_1_01_00_01 (mcsdk_1_01_00_01) and pdk_OMAPL138_1_01_00_02 (mcsdk_1_01_00_02) and the demo works fine with CCS version: 5.4 but there are issues with CCSv5.5 on free run or  debugging the code, i mean, after loading the application image, it runs automatically and the control doesn't come to the code for debugging and i belive, the code is freezing somewhere.

As we have not tested with CCSv6 and we are not sure whether the demo works on CCSv6, but as per MCSDK release notes, there are external dependancies as below and it is recommended to install CCSv5 as per release note inorder to avoid unnecessary issues:

• CCS version 5.4.0.00091
• Arago Toolchain

After you install MCSDK 1.01, please check the MCSDK relase notes on the below insallation path:

~\ti\mcsdk_1_01_00_01\docs\MCSDK_Release_Notes.pdf

To set up the linux host setup, please check the below guide:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_OMAPL138_User_Guide_Getting_Started#Linux_Host_Setup

Note: While launching CCS debugger, please ensure to connect the ARM core first to make DSP out of reset before running the code and disconnect the ARM core, Then try reconnecting to the DSP core, reload the application image and run the application. You will succeed in hearing the audio output through Line OUT, provided when there is some input stream (mp3, aac etc) feeded through Line IN. This is because, OMAPL138 is an ARM boot device where in which arm boots first with its bootloader code and then it wakes up the DSP core letting it out of reset, so that, we are allowed to connect to the DSP core and run the application on the same.

I would recommend you to ensure the above note is properly executed before running the McASP audio example project and you could succeed in debugging the MCSDK McASP audio example code.

Thanks & regards,

Sivaraj K
