Dear TI

Can you advise how can i open the demo project file which is generated by you onto the CCS IDE platform

Hello,

Which demo project are you looking at? If it's a binary, you can create a target configuration, connect to a core and load the binary to run it on.

thanks

Alex

Hi Alex

I sorry to say still dont understand your reply as i am new in this SOC area. Could you explain further.

As for which demo project, there is no specify i am trying to link the function together to understand the codes. So i have where to modify on the codes to develop my own project.

Ok, are you going to be using the Vision SDK? Can you try some Vision SDK demos? You can download it from here www.ti.com/.../PROCESSOR-SDK-TDAX, after you install it there are gettings started gides in vision_sdk\docs\UserGuides. Perhaps it will help you boost your understanding of the code and demos. Please try it and let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Willson Toh ,

We have not heard back from you on this one. I assume you were able to move ahead. Please let us know if otherwise. The thread would be closed automatically if there is no reply.

Thanks,
Alex

Dear Alex

We would like to know which is the 1st file that TDA2 execute upon power up as we are trying to remove some of the un-used component for our project to make the board smaller.

I am not sure about that, we will bring in more experts for help on this. They will comment here directly soon.

thanks

Hi Wilson,

As such there is no file that is executed.
When the TDA device is powered up first code that is executed is RBL. RBL (present on SoC itself) will initialize the device depending on the SYSBOOT.
RBL will then load the SBL depending on boot mode.
In case you load using CCS and there are gel files in the target configuration then gel files will initialize SoC.

Rishabh

Dear Rishabh

I would like to know how should we go about which components we are able to remove to implement for our project development.

Hi Wilson,

It is not very clear to me what you want to do.
You can remove all SW components except RBL.
If you set the SYSBOOT to one of the reserved boot modes, SBL won't be loaded.
Please see Initialization chapter from the TRM.

Dear Rishabh,

My colleague is now working on a new hardware based on TDA2x evaluation kit design.
You mentioned that RBL (present on SoC) will initialize the device depending on the SYSBOOT. For proper boot up of our new hardware, do we need to do any programming on this SoC?
Can we safely assume that this part of first code for SoC is already programmed by TI when we purchase the SoC component from TI?

Hi,

RBL is already present inside the SoC. Can you please read chapter Initialization from the TRM.

Dear Rishabh,
Where to find the initialization chapter from the TRM?

Hi,

It is chapter 29 from TDA2 TRM.
