Compiler/TDA2EVM5777: EVE Starterware Example

Part Number: TDA2EVM5777

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello,

I am running PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00 under eve_sw_01_19_00_00/starterware. I am trying to run the mailbox_eve1_to_dsp1 example on the TDA2EVM5777 VAYU Board using an AppImage and MLO Bootloader on the correctly formatted SD Card. I compiled the mailbox_eve1_to_dsp1 example and ran the out2rprc executable to convert the .out files to rprcs file and used the multicore image generator executable to create an AppImage, and ran it on the TDA2EVM5777 VAYU Board.

The example does not boot. The bootloader prints out this error:

DSP1 entry point address is not aligned - application boot-up fails

The MLO Bootloader I am running is the default prebuilt MLO found in VISION_SDK_02_08_00_00 under starterware_01_04_00_10. The exact path is: C:\VISION_SDK_02_08_00_00\ti_components\drivers\starterware_01_04_00_10\bootloader\prebuild_binaries\tda2xx_images\sd\MLO

Here is the entire boot sequence:

How do I get past this error of the DSP1 not booting and test the EVE <--> DSP mailbox example?

Hi,

DSP1's entry point has to be 1 KB aligned. Can you check the map/linker command file for the same.

Hi,

I haven't heard back from you, I'm assuming you were able to resolve your issue.
If not, just post a reply below (or create a new thread if the thread has locked due to time-out).

Hi Rishabh,

Thank you for your reply,

How do I make sure that the DSP1 is 1KB aligned? I have not changed anything in the example source code.

I have attached the .map file and .cmd file for review.

Thank you,

Hi Rishabh,

I apologize for the lack of attachments. They should be attached with this reply. In order to send the files, I had to compress them to zip files.

dsp_mbox_dsp1_all_eves(Map).zip linker(cmd).zip

Hi,

The problem is unaligned _c_int00 (00809240 as per map file).

Can you modify the linker command to match PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\ti_components\drivers\pdk_01_10_02_07\packages\ti\boot\sbl_auto\examples\sbl_multicore_mbx\tda2xx\lnk_dsp1.cmd. This will align the entry point to 1 KB.

Hello Rishabh,

Thank you for your assistance.

I backed up the original DSP linker file and replaced it with the one you referenced, and then recompiled. I was not sure about whether or not this was the correct thing to do, but it seemed to compile just fine.

That change removed the message of the DSP not being aligned, but now I am having the issue where the example code is running but it isn't succeeding (i.e. there are no successful mailbox messages being sent).

I put some print statements into the source code to see where it was failing, and it looks like it is waiting forever on this line of code in the both the eve and dsp:

while (mailbox_intr_occurred != 1);

Was I not supposed to replace the DSP linker file? What changes do I have to make to get the mailbox messages to go through?

Thank you,

Hi iFer,

DSP linker file changes should not affect the application.
This looks like some issue with the application where DSP is waiting for mailbox interrupt to occur. Maybe IRQ crossbar is not configured.

You can refer to mailbox CSL app to see how it should be done: PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\ti_components\drivers\pdk_01_10_02_07\packages\ti\csl\example\mailbox\mailbox_sender_receiver_app
