Part Number: AM5728
I'm getting started with Sitara development and working on building some of my own sample applications to make sure I understand how to use all the tools, in particular the IPC libraries. To that end, I'm trying to set up a new project in CCS (version 7.1.0) to ensure I understand how to build new applications that use things like SYS/BIOS and IPC libraries. I'd like to use the Linaro GCC toolchain for my builds.
I've looked through the IPC examples supplied with the SDK and also the IPC User's Guide on the TI Wiki, but none of these have provided much information on setting up a new project. Moreover, they all mention XDC tools but give almost no explanation as to what they're actually doing and why they're needed.
Are there any resources that:
1. Provide a step-by-step guide to setting up a new IPC project (or really any RTSC project) in CCS using Linaro GCC?
2. Explain what exactly the XDC tools are doing as part of the build process and, ideally, provide a tutorial on their use?
Thanks!
