Building for AM437x Eval Module

Mark Doyle

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LINUXEZSDK-SITARA

I just installed CCS V 6.1.0.00104 on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine and am trying to build "hello world" for the AM437x Evaluation Module. When I build and copy the ELF file to the Evaluation Module, I get a Segmentation Fault.

I've built the same C file with TI's Linux Easy Software Development Kit LINUXEZSDK-SITARA, copied it to the Evaluation Module, and it works fine.

Here's my questions:

1) What needed to be configured in CCS to work with the AM437x Eval Module?

2) Why does CCS come with a different tool chain rather than the Easy SDK?

3) In the linker options, the library search path is given as -L"!". What does this mean?

Any help will be appreciated.

Mark,

I am moving this thread to the Sitara forum as the experts there will be able to provide the best advice in regards to the options/tools recommended for developing and debugging on the AM437x evaluation module.

After further investigation, I found a better installation guide which said not to install the gnu tool chain with CCS, so I can build ok now. Still, it's a bit odd that the CCS tool chain doesn't work.
