Part Number: AM5746
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi TI Experts,

Please let me confirm the following question.
[Question]
Customer would like to know whether there is any binary code on Proessor SDK.
Is there any part of codes provided as binary(Blackbox) on TI-RTOS, Device Driver or Middleware at PDK?

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards.

    Kaka,

    The best way to find out source vs binary is through software manifest which you can find through the sw download page.

    E.g.:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../Processor-SDK_RTOS_AM57XX_Manifest.html

    best regards,

    David,

    Thank you for your response, but it could not clarify my concern.
    We need to explain more detail to our customer that TI provide the code as binary for any point. This is not correct but for example, the dirver for USB and the kernel of SYSBIOS is only provide the codes as binary.

    Also. please explain the meaning of "Source and Binary".
    Does this indicate that TI is providing all the source code for the items? Or did are you providing some codes as only binary for some of one?

    If you have any questions, please let me know.
    Best regards.

    Kaka,

    Yes, as per manifest, some of them are binary only. Most of SDK contents were provided with full source code. If you have issues with SYSBIOS kernel which is provided as binary only, the RTOS kernel team can support.

    When it says, "Source and Binary", it means both source code and binary are provided.

    regards,
    David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your response. I could understand that if customer meet any issue at the binary code, you will be able to support it. But they would like to know the part of contents were provided with binary only. I apologize for asking you again.

    I understood that there are some contents were provided with binary only like SYSBIOS Kernel even though the Manifest files says "source and binary". Is my understanding correct?
    If this is correct, could you please list all contents were provided with binary like SYSBIOS kernel even if the release note said "source and binary"?

    Best regards.

    Kaka,

    I am sorry. I just checked the BIOS folder. E.g.: for AM57x the Processor RTOS 4.3 release, the kernel source code can be found here:
    C:\ti\bios_6_52_00_12\packages\ti\sysbios\knl

    Manifest should be correct.

    regards,
    David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your answer.
    So, I could understand that customer can follow the TI web page. And the meaning is following.
    Source and Binary: TI discloses all source codes and also provides the binary
    Binary: Only the code with binary
    Is my understanding correct?

    Best regards.
