Hello,

Im totally new to Sitara Processors and i wanted to start a simple LED blinking example for the beginning.

I installed the sysbios_ind_Sdk_02.01.03.02 which was delivered on the SD-CARD which comes with the Board.

I imported the board_support example from the starterware folder. When i start to Build the example i get following Errors.

I use CCS 8.3.0.00009

Build of libraries failed.
subdir_rules.mk:12: recipe for target 'build-1306255135-inproc' failed

Hi Haxor,

I would suggest you to download and install AM437x PSDK RTOS:

software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

Then for LED blink example, you can refer to below pointer:

RTOS diagnostic SW - led_TEST

software-dl.ti.com/.../index_board.html

Check also below demo:

processor_sdk_rtos_am437x_5_02_00_10/demos/rtos_template_app/am437x/evmAM437x/A9/template_app/GPIO_evmAM437x_board.c

software-dl.ti.com/.../index_examples_demos.html

Regards,
Pavel

Hi,

I downloaded and Installed the PDK and also "gmake" all the examples for my Processor Am437x but the generated GPIO_LedBlink_ Examples are not for my development board idkam437x also the Diagnostic SW-led Test example is an outfile where i cant Debug. I want to get an overall understanding how Gpios work from initalisation to toggle the Pins so debug is mandatory.
Also the RTOS_Template example you suggested is for the evmAm437x board.

Is there an easy way to migrate the examples GPIO_LedBlink_evmAM437x to idkAM437x ?

Haxor,

Regarding led_TEST Diagnostic test, it should run at IDK AM437x board by default. See 3.2.4. Diagnostic Applications, led_TEST has x for "IDK AM437x" board.

software-dl.ti.com/.../index_board.html
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_board.html

The source code is available at:

pdk_am437x_1_0_13/packages/ti/board/diag/led/src/

Regards,
Pavel

Yes, the GPIO_LedBlink test is create for evmAM437x and skAM437x. I am not aware of easy/fast/quick way to migrate this test for idkAM437x. You should explore the HW differences between evmAM437x/skAM437x and idkAM437x and apply these in the source code.

Check also if below e2e thread will be in help:

We have also some info regarding PRU GPIO in below e2e threads:

Hello Thanks for your help I solved the Problem now,

this i had to do to get SysBios Ind sdk Examples running

downloads.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

1.Project import in CCS Project->Import CCS Projects eg. C:\ti\sysbios_ind_sdk_02.01.03.02\sdk\examples
2. select AM4379 Cortex A under: Project->Properties->General
3. Compiler Version select GNU v7.2.1 (Linaro) o. newer under: Project->Properties->General
4. Linker Command file select AM437x.lds under: Project->Properties->General
5. Xds Tools Version select 3.51.1.18_core o. newer under: Project->Properties->General tab Products
6. Sys Bios Version select 6.73.1.01 o. newer under: Project->Properties->General tab Products
7. Use "${BIOS_CG_ROOT}/packages/gnu/targets/arm/libs/install-native/arm-none-eabi/lib/hard" instead of
"${BIOS_CG_ROOT}/packages/gnu/targets/arm/libs/install-native/arm-none-eabi/lib/fpu"
under: Project->Properties->Build->GNU Linker Library search Path
8.Build
9.create new TargetConfiguration under: File-> New TargetConfiguration select IDK_AM437x .
10.debug. :)

example_utils is a good start for me.
