CCS/AM5728: CCS v.9.3.0 and Sitara AM5728 Project Setup Question

Alex
Expert 2430 points
Part Number: AM5728

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

As a quick background, though I've been using and developing on TI's DSPs (C3X - C66x, and everything in between) for decades now, I'm brand new to the Sitara line and its SoM footprint. I am little confused by the processor projects CCS offers me when I choose an AM5728.

So the AM5728 has two A15 cores, two M4 cores, two C66x DSP cores, and four PRU cores.  Looking at the JTAG chain (see below), I can see all these cores, but what's the ARM9 device/tab/project for?

    Alex,

    The ARM9_ICONT[2:1] entries are embedded cores within the IVA-HD subsystems and are dedicated to video encoder and decoder hardware for supporting part numbers. These are not general-purpose application cores.

    Best regards,

    Dave

    Okay, good to know.  For our product, I do plan to utilize the Display Subsystem and Video Processing Engine (VPE), though not the H.264 codec (which is what I am presuming you are saying these cores are used for).  Regardless, though, is there any demo/sample project included in the SDK that does load something onto these cores?
