why there are no technical documents for using Texas hardware and software components?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS, MATHLIB

When some one buys an Evaluation board, he wants to initialize all the hardware components and to test software functions. There are a lot of hardware and software components like JESD, OpenMP, image processing library, PCIe...on an evaluation board.

there is no example project for these elements. Particularly I have TCI6630 EVM and there is no linker command file for this EVM, no example project for most of the hardware/software components except a simple hello  world.

Meanwhile each CCSv6 project has a lot of system files like cfg and cmd files.

Why there is no document to explain these system files? for example what is makefile.defs? and how it is used in a build process?

Most of example projects do not have linker command file for TCI6630. for example we have TCI6488.cmd but nothing for TCI6630!! Why?

When processor-sdk-linux is installed how the folders inside are being used?!!

Why Texas documents are so spread across html pages and using pdf has been stopped for the new products?

    Hi ali hagigat,


    there is no example project for these elements. Particularly I have TCI6630 EVM and there is no linker command file for this EVM, no example project for most of the hardware/software components except a simple hello world.

    We have many examples for K2L (TCI6630) too.
    It is easy to create a linker command file for K2L, you can refer to the K2E linker command file for that.

    Why there is no document to explain these system files? for example what is makefile.defs? and how it is used in a build process?


    Its SYS/BIOS (TI-RTOS) related files so you have to read the SYSBIOS user guide and TI wiki pages.


    When processor-sdk-linux is installed how the folders inside are being used?!!


    We have plenty of TI wiki pages for users to understand the processor SDK packages and its examples.
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_-_Create_PDK_projects

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Linux_Getting_Started_Guide

    Why Texas documents are so spread across html pages and using pdf has been stopped for the new products?



    We do have the same in pdf format too.

    Please let us know what you have to do ?

    You would get plenty of examples for your board after you installed the processor SDK.

    "You would get plenty of examples for your board after you installed the processor SDK.

    C:\ti\pdk_k2l_4_0_2\packages\MyExampleProjects"

    I installed "ti-processor-sdk-rtos-k2l-evm-03.00.00.04-Linux-x86-Install_2.bin", and :

    root@am:/opt/ti# ls
    bios_6_45_01_29
    ccsv6
    cg_xml
    Code Composer Studio 6.1.3.desktop

    Plenty of examples for TCI6630 but no example for OpenMP!

    "We do have the same in pdf format too."

    Can you write a link in Texas Instrument site to list all the available documents in pdf format?

    Can you create an example project for:
    TCI6630+OpenMP
    Where is the example for this scenario? if there is one
    Also I want to use JESD interface, where is the example for :
    JESD+TCI6630

    It seems that there is no example ready for these situations while there are not enough information for that, not given by TI

    After you install the "ti-processor-sdk-rtos-k2l-evm-03.00.00.04-Linux-x86-Install_2.bin", you will get the "pdk_k2l_4_0_2".

    You have to use the scripts in it to generate the examples like below.

    The step by step instructions for generating the examples are given here.

    Using the above link I have generated the examples for K2H . Similarly you will get these many examples for the K2L too.

    No JESD example!

    Yes Ali,

    The JSED example is not available in the PDK.
