RTOS/AMIC110: DDR-less EtherCAT Slave demo

The RTOS team have been notified. They will respond here.

Hi .

Where is the place I need to execute this cmd for building bootloader for AMIC110?

  

gmake bootloader BUILDCFG=boot BOOTMODE=mcspi PLATFORM=amic110-ddrless PROFILE=debug -s KW_BUILD=no BUILD_ICSS_DDRLESS_BOOT=yes
gmake bootloader BUILDCFG=boot BOOTMODE=mcspi PLATFORM=amic110-ddrless PROFILE=release -s KW_BUILD=no BUILD_ICSS_DDRLESS_BOOT=yes

BR Rio

If I go to starterware, it will show this error.

C:\TI\pdk_am335x_1_0_10\packages\ti\starterware>gmake bootloader BUILDCFG=boot BOOTMODE=mcspi PLATFORM=amic110-ddrless PROFILE=debug -s KW_BUILD=no BUILD_ICSS_D

Hi .
This bootloader make process is working well on PDK_1_0_9, however, 1_0_10 will not work.
Please help to fix it.

BR Rio

Hi Rio, I will check internally. A question, did bootloader from PDK 1.0.9 work for you?

thank you,
Paula

Hi .

 1.0.9 boot loader is built okay now.

 But, I'm compiling this project:

 And I have those errors, please guide me how to solve.

Hi :
#1. I have modified this file : amic11x_onchip_mem_app.xdt
#2. And I excluded this file to build: AM335x.lds
#3. Now, I have the following error, please help.
#4. My environment is as this:

::Set AM335x PDK Version
set "AM335x_PDK_VERSION=1.0.9"

::Set AM437x PDK Version

Hi Rio, I will check the error and come back to you. About previous issue reported for building PDK 1.0.10 bootloader, I learnt this is a known issue. We are tracking it by JIRA. Also, please see below E2E for more details and a workaround:

e2e.ti.com/.../656996

thank you,
Paula

Hi Rio, I just want to confirm you applied the required PSDK patch, as mentioned here: EtherCAT patch Thump mode binaries

Also for your reference TI Design: DDR-less EtherCAT slave on AMIC110

thank you,

Paula

Hi .

  I have some questions:

   #1. Why the GNU compiler version will affect the Link error?

   #2. Do I must use the GNU 4.9 compiler?

   #3. I'm using the CCS7.4 and force it to use the GNU 4.8 compiler which  is bundled in the CCS6.1.

         Now, I have the following Link error.

         Please help.

BR Rio

Hi .


I modify this file: reentsupport.c.
Comment out this line, then, issue is gone.
if (ReentSupport_enableReentSupport) {
//ti_sysbios_rts_gnu_ReentSupport_checkIfCorrectLibrary();
}

please tell me if any side effect will affect my demo.

BR Rio

Hi Paula.

Thank you very much.

#1. Please ask the RnD to have a more friendly in the next version. To study those too much documents and compare those differences will be annoying to the user.

#2. Besides, there is no clear instruction to guide the  user how to download the image onto SPI Flash.

      Please describe it clearly.

BR Rio

I’m totally confused, which one is the correct MLO (Boot loader for the DDR-Less demo)?

 

Is this one? (This one is the one you posted on the wiki: https://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/651803/2515440#pi316653=5)

C:\TI\pdk_am335x_1_0_9\packages\ti\starterware\binary\bootloader\bin\amic110-ddrless\gcc\bootloader_boot_mcspi_noDDR_a8host_release_ti.bin

 

If I’m using RTOS 4.1 / PDK 1.8, Do I need to apply the patch you mention below? (See the posted on the E2E link as the above).

I know this is confusing - The PRSDK_4_2_migration.patch is to rebase the EtherCAT from PRSDK 4.1 to PRSDK 4.2, but it doesn't address the MLO issue. You don't have to rebase to PRSDK 4.2 for EtherCAT app.

The patch in the git.ti.com/.../fb449773510e62f06232c80e564577ae2268bfe6 is specific to MLO issue. You can download the files and merge to your PRSDK starterware folder (3 files change: sbl_am335x_platform.c, component.mk, platform.mk)

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

If not, why I cannot see anything on the UART console?
