AM3358: SBL debug with CCS

Guru 10235 points
Part Number: AM3358

Hello, TI Experts,

 Our customer sent us questions about "how to modify&debug SBL(MLO) with CCS" by using TI-RTOS(PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-AM335X). They want to debug SBL for AM335x with CCS like below link.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Creating_a_CCS_Project_for_SBL_on_AM572x_GP_EVM

 But they couldn't find same information for AM335x like above link.

 Question: Could you tell us the proper link/information to debug SBL(MLO) for AM335x with CCS like this?

 We would also appreciate if you tell us the recommended way to modify&debug SBL(MLO) with CCS" by using TI-RTOS(PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-AM335X).

 

Best regards,

  • Matusan,

    Building AM335x SBL using CCS is not currently supported in Processor SDK RTOS. The bootloader for the device comes from the starterware package which was previously supported for this platform. That was the only package that provided a CCS based as well as a makefile based environment to build the bootloader.

    USers can choose to invoke the build using the make files and include the source files and build option in CCS but this would require some additional effort to decode the build options, compiler and linker setting  and confirm that CCS based build builds and runs similar to the makefile based build. Could you indicate what issues is the customer running into with the makefile based build. The binaries built using makefile can be loaded and debugged using CCS the same way as a CCS project. 

    Regards
