CCS/AM5708: Recommended development environment? Anyone doing development on Windows?

Adam Lee5

Part Number: AM5708

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm doing board bring-up as well as application development on the AM57x8 platform and I got a question to ask the community:

Is anyone doing the similar job using Windows PCs?

TI's literature appears to favor Linux (Ubuntu to be exact) heavily. Following their Ubuntu based tutorial on a Windows environment is tricky and difficult, at least for me.

Before I cut the cord and switch to Linux, can I hear from those who have been in this situation?

    Hi,

    Please specify which SDK you are planning to use - Linux, RTOS, other?

    I'm doing Linux for A15 and RTOS / DSP for the C66 on AM57x8.

    Adam,

    You'll probably find that this is as much philosophy as anything else. For this type of design, I actually recommend having Windows for RTOS development and a Linux machine for Linux. As you've noted, TI tends to lean in this direction with our documentation and examples.

    You could probably do Linux application development from a PC, but I would find it too limiting and I would worry about what happens if I need to cross that fuzzy "application" line and do any kernel/driver/board config stuff. The latter is definitely better (if not absolutely necessary) to do from Linux.

    I hope this helps you. Definitely a matter of a lot of opinion.
