Tool/software: Linux

Dear All,

I would like to know some of the below question answers

Q1:Way of flashing NAND/NOR for TDA2x evm - is there any tool ?

Q2:What is the size of MLO, uboot, linux and filesystem, - running on our current TDA2x EVM and also on D3 board. 

Q3:Current DDR3 memory usage on TDA2x evm needs to be found

Q4: List of various drivers involved in TDA2x evm linux - eg: i2c, usb, camera, hdmi and so on…

    Hello,

    I'll let software teams comment regarding your other questions. But for Q1, one way to do it is via the flash tool. Here are a couple related forum posts:

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Q2: here are some example sizes:
    MLO: 125K ; u-boot.img: 819K ; zImage: 3.4M
    note that this sizes may vary based on your config.

    the default rootfs from here:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html
    has size 296M, you can add more features to it and size will increase.

    Q3: Please follow the document <VSDK_INST_DIR>/vision_sdk/docs/FeatureSpecificUserGuides/VisionSDK_UserGuide_MemoryMap.pdf for description of how to configure memory in VisionSDK. The default Linux configuration for TDA2x is 1GB.

    Q4: Linux version of VisionSDK is based on Processor SDK Linux Automotive (PSDKLA), so you can check the supported features in the Data Sheet:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php

    Also helpful can be PSDKLA Developer guide and FAQ:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php
    processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards,
    Yordan

    Hello Yordan,
    RA72x Evaluation module is same a TDA2x EVM?
    i.e processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php
    I have a some more question on TDA2x board, please find below list .
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Q5:compile procedure for TDA2x rootfile system/Linux/Uboot?
    Q6:How to choose MLO for TDA2x? is it processor specific ?
    Q7:Flashing MLO/UBOOT/KERNEL/ROOTFS on NAND/NOR memory procedure?
    Q8:TDA2x EVM peripheral like i2c,spi,.... all soc peripherals test suite either unit/system testing procedure?

    Are you using Vision SDK? If so please follow the user guides provided along the SDK. There is a lot of information to answer your general questions above.

    thanks,
