AM3358: About XGCONF

Part Number: AM3358

Dear Sir

    XGCONF seem to be outdate. I only saw XGCONF for CCV4.  It look like I/O with various drivers instead of DEV and GIO in Available Products view. Am I right? Thanks

   

  • If my understanding is right, there is the place to choose various drivers in Available Products view. Right now I must use XDCscript Editor to add the drivers. Your documention say GIO will drop. How about DEV? Can I add the driver through DEV? If yes, How to do? Please give the steps as details as possible. If not, what is standard way to add the driver through XGCONF. Thanks

  • Hi Anping,

    Different driver versions can be installed in CCS as follows:

    1. Select Window->Preferences, Code Composer Studio->Products
    2. If required add to Product Discovery Path by clicking on "Add" button.
    3. Click on "Rediscover" button.
    4. Install drivers supplied with PRSDK version.

    Driver version are selected for a particular project as follows:

    1. Right click on project in Project Explorer, click "Properties".
    2. Click General, then "Products" tab.
    3. Select desired driver version from among installed versions.

    XGCONF can be used in CCS 9.0.1 as follows:

    1. Right click .cfg file
    2. Select Open With->XGCONF.

    I don't think XGCONF can be used for adding required line to .cfg for drivers, and XDCscript Editor (or a text editor) must be used. However, PRSDK contains examples for all drivers which contain the required code. There are also online tutorials which describe how this is done, please see: http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/06_00_00_07/rtos/index_faq.html?highlight=training#training-and-documentation

    I saw EDMA3 Low Level Driver, NDK, SYS/BIOS, System Analyzer(UIA Target), XDCtools and am335xPDK. I didn't see the driver UART, McSPI, McASP, I2C and GPIO. Can you tell me how to use DEV? Thanks

  • Anping,

    UART, McSPI, McASP, I2C and GPIO are selected by the PDK (Platform Development Kit) version.

    PRSDK drivers aren't DEV/IOM drivers. You should add PRSDK drivers to your application using the approach outlined in the materials I've shared above. I've looped in a colleague to correct me in case I'm wrong about this.

  • Hi Frank

          Because UART, McSPI, McASP, I2C and GPIO are selected by the PDK (Platform Development Kit) version, I can add these drivers by XGCONF! I have verify it. Thanks
