TMDXIDK5718: RTOS Audio Benchmark issue

Markus Mueller

Part Number: TMDXIDK5718

I installed the latest RTOS SDK V3.3 and Code Composer Studio V7.1.0
Whin the SDK there is a demo project called "Audio benchmark Starterkit".

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_RTOS_Audio_Benchmark_Starterkit

According to this wiki project page that demo project is working on the AM571x IDK.
When I run the BenchmarkProjectCreate.bat to create a project for Code Composer Studio no project is generated.
As described on the wiki page I corrected the known bug that the demo was renamed to "audio-benchmark-starterkit" instead of "audio-benchmark-kit".
As it was still not working I analysed the batch file. I found that in the scripts folder only text files for AM572x but not AM571x processors are listed.

I this demo not intended for the AM571x? (as opposed to the hardware requirements according to the above wiki page which explicitly lists "AM571x IDK")

Hi,

The release notes state that CCS v7.0.0 is the supported version. Have you tried with it?

Hi

The CCS version does not yet matter at this stage of progress, because only files from the SDK (batch file and text files from the scripts sub folder) are involved. The batch file does not create project files because it does not find a text file related to "AM571x".

Markus

I have notified the RTOS team. They will respond here.

Markus,

This is the initial release of this demo. AM571x and idkAM571x are supported using only make files and only with logging in CCS Console as opposed to UART in case of evmAM57xx.

In order to build this for the AM571x IDK. Use the make file to build the .out file. To build this for the idkAM571x platform.
Setup the SDK environment using setup.bat in root directory of the SDK.
Then go to the demo folder and build using following:
gmake clean
gmake DEVICE=AM571x BOARD=idkAM571x BUILD=CCS

BUILD=CCS will put the benchmark outputs in the CCS console instead of the UART console so this can only be tested over an emulator and not using an SD boot. We plan to extend the CCS project, UART console output and SD boot support in the next update.

Regards,
Rahul

PS: Only platforms that have corresponding .txt file in the scripts folder are supported for generation of CCS projects.

Hi Rahul

Thank you for this description.
Now I could run the example.
I was only confused because there is no info about this restriction on the demo wiki site.

Regards,
Markus

Thank you for the feedback Markus. I will update the document to reflect this information.
