J6EVM5777: RTOS / Getting Started

Part Number: J6EVM5777
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMIC110, OMAP-L138, , PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA7X, TDA2

Hi all. A few questions from someone new to this area.

1) The RTOS SDK supplied is of version 04.03.00.05, and SDK documentation is somewhat confusing. Nowhere could we find any references to DRA75x / TDA2x / EVM5777 devices. For example, referring here specifically to "Processor SDK RTOS 04_03_00_05" as available on the web at h t t p : // software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/04_03_00_05/rtos/index.html

  2.1.6.1. Devices -- table does not list any of the above

  2.2. Supported platforms and EVMs -- neither

  1.1.6.2. Emulator support -- same thing

  1.1.6.3. Is TDA2x is of any of the listed types? (AM335x, AM473x, AM57xx, AMIC110, C665x, C667x, C6747/OMAP-L17, C6748/OMAP-L138, and variants of K2 are listed as supported options).

  Similarly, at h t t p s : // training.ti.com/processor-sdk-training-series it is stated that:

For more information on AM57x Sitara processors, refer to the AM57x Sitara™ Processors Training Series.

For more information on TI ARM & DSP processors, refer to the KeyStone ARM & DSP Multicore Device Training Series

For a high-level look at the AM57x Sitara evaluation module, view the Evaluate the New AM57x Sitara Processors with an EVM Based on the New BeagleBoard-X15 video.

  and we are pretty much at loss as what is the type of the TDA2x device and what sort of training should be taken for it.

2) SDK Getting Started manual refers to pre-built SD cards shipped with SDK located at

[SDK Install Path]\processor_sdk_rtos_<platform>_<version>\prebuilt-sdcards\<evm>\sd_card_img\

  but for our fresh install (CCS followed by SDK) this folder is empty. We have tried to "gmake all", which completed successfully, but it is still empty. Are there prebuild RTOS images?

3) Due to circumstances beyond our immediate control, we do not have access to JTAG emulator for the time being. Is there a way to configure CCS/SDK so that a compiled program is exported as an "app" that can be written to SD card along with MLO and ran (booted) from SD card? If yes, is there any tutorial available? Ideally, stdin/stdout in such deployment should be bound to UART.

  We totally understand all inconveniences and impossibilities associated with not having JTAG access to board.

Thanks.

    Hi Ramani,

    Your post seems to indicate that you are using a J6 EVM but I want to be sure. Could you please provide me with the following information so that we can check further on how to help you?

    1. Are you using a TI EVM for your development? If yes, which EVM is this? If no, please clarify the SoC on your custom board.
    2. Please provide the exact version of the SDK that you are using -  if you downloaded it from ti.com, please provide link to be sure.
    3. If you are not using the latest version of the installer, please indicate why you chose that version.

    Logs and/or screenshots will be useful to describe some of the problems above, please considering expanding your post.

    Regards

    Karthik

    Hello Karthik,

      1. Above the original post there is a line "Part Number: J6EVM5777", in case you missed it.
      2. The original message says "The RTOS SDK supplied is of version 04.03.00.05", in case you missed it.
      3. N/A.

      The SDK was obtained by:

      -- googling for EVM5777 and landing at h t t p : // www.ti.com/tool/J6EVM5777 (I can not paste the URL intact as it gets expanded into a large icon immediately for some reason)
      -- following "Processor Software Development Kit for DRA7x Jacinto Processors -- Linux, Android, and RTOS" link at the very bottom of the page to arrive at h t t p : // www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA7X
      -- clicking on "Get Software" in "PROCESSOR-SDR-RTOS-AUTOMOTIVE-DRA7X" row to get to h t t p : // software-dl.ti.com/infotainment/esd/jacinto6/processor-sdk-rtos-automotive/latest/index_FDS.html
      -- and downloading ti-processor-sdk-rtos-automotive-dra7xx-evm-04.03.00.05-Windows-x86-Install.exe from that web page.

      No logs or screenshots are available, as no actual development have had been happened yet.

    Thank you.

    Hi Ramani,

    Thanks, I checked further and it seems like our download page needs to be corrected.

    If your requirement is a RTOS SDK for TDA2 then you need to be looking at the following - http://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-TDAX, please download the PROCESSOR-SDK-VISION 3.08 and also the please look at the documents that this offers.

    If you have any further questions, please create a new thread if you have questions on this version of the SDK.

    Regards

    Karthik
