Hello
I am trying to use ARM core on K2H board. I found two different SDKs for ARM core: MSCDK and Processor SDK Linux. However, I cannot see the differences between them. I had found this page talking about migrating MCSDK to Processor SDK Linux (link here). After reading this website, I still confuse about at what circumstance I may use Processor SDK Linux or MCSDK.
In the past, I am using MCSDK for DSP core. One or two chances, I had used Linux kernel from MCSDK on ARM core. From my understanding, MCSDK contains the toolbox for DSP and ARM core, but Processor SDK Linux are just for ARM core. Is that correct?
For the ARM core, what is difference between MCSDK and processor SDK Linux?
Thanks

Hi Titus
Thanks for your replying.
According this website (link here), Processor SDK contains two parts: Processor SDK Linux and Processor SDK RTOS.
Just like you said, Processor SDK RTOS contains the same PDK as in the MCSDK. In the MCSDK, it also contains the Linux OS for ARM. So does Processor SDK Linux. Can I say that MCSDK is the combination of Processor SDK RTOS and Processor SDK Linux?
If so, what is the differences between MCSDK and Processor SDK package(including SDK Linux and SDK RTS)? If I develop a Linux application on ARM, should I use the MCSDK or Processor SDK package?
Thanks.

1. Can I say that MCSDK is the combination of Processor SDK RTOS and Processor SDK Linux?
2. What is the differences between MCSDK and Processor SDK package(including SDK Linux and SDK RTS)?
No. MCSDK has two installers with respect to Windows / Linux host. The Windows installer will have the DSP sources and Linux installer will have ARM & DSP sources.
MCSDK installer for Windows-32bit containing DSP sources for Windows host
MCSDK installer for Linux containing both DSP and ARM sources for Linux host
Where as Processor SDK, has the installer based on the target OS which is going to run on SoC and under that installer based on the host machine(Windows/Linux).
Please refer the MCSDK to Processor SDK migration guide for difference,
Thank you.
