How to setup BIOS for TMS320C5515 DSP

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

I want to setup a 5.41 BIOS project for the new C5515 DSP.  There isn't any configuration for C5515 and nothing in \bios\config to allow setting up a custom Platform.  How do this?  The closes thing is VC5505, but there are HW differences between that and the C5515.

Thanks.

  • We added support for C5515 (and evm5515) in BIOS 5.41.03 (Feb 10, 2010).  You can get it here:

    http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/dspbios/index.html

    There's a separate installer for CCSv3 and CCSv4. 

    If you are using CCSv3, the CCSv3 installation contains examples for the evm5515.

    If you are using CCSv4, you will also need to download and install XDCTools 3.16.03.36 which you can get here:

    http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/rtsc/index.html

    You can update the evm5505 examples' .tcf files to change 'loadPlatform('evm5505')' to 'loadPlatform('evm5515').

  • Karl,

    Thanks for the pointers.  I didn't realize these releases were available already.

    Regards.

  • Is there BIOS 6 support for the 5515?

  • No, the C55x devices are not supported in SYS/BIOS 6.

    You can see the devices that are supported in the latest release of SYS/BIOS in the release notes, or directly at the following link:
