TDA4VM: can't create SYS/BIOS project

Part Number: TDA4VM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello !

I can't create a SYS/BIOS project for the C66x and C71x cores for the TDA4VM. I installed CCS for the Jacinto and downloaded the sdk: ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-07_02_00_06.
I added the C7000 compiler of the sdk to CCS, the C6000 was already present in CCS.
I added all the sdk's products, in particular xdc tools and SYS/BIOS.

But when I create a new project for the EVM_J721E, when I choose C71XX, I don't have "SYS/BIOS" in "Project templates and examples", and if I choose "empty RTSC project" I don't have the target and the platform.

If I choose C66XX, I have "SYS/BIOS" in "Project templates and examples", and by clicking on next I have the target. On the negative side, there is no platform.

CCS, XDCtools compiler and SYS/BIOS versions are compatible according to SYS/BIOS 6.83.00.18 GA Release Notes.

Here some screenshots.

Thank you very much for your time

  • Hello,

    It appears that SYS/BIOS is not providing examples for the C71. I will bring this thread to the attention of the device experts so they can comment further.

    Thanks

  • Hello, thank you for your answer,

    To be more precise, the problem is not only the lack of example templates.

    Even when I choose "empty RTSC project", I have neither the target and platform for C71x, and I have the target but not the platform for C66x. Even if the version of my products match the SYS/BIOS release note.

    Thank you very much for your time,

  • Hello Clément,

    I will try to get someone resolve the problem that you pointed to. In the meantime, could you please check if you could leverage the simple C7x kernel application that's included in our Vision Apps package (link)? It looks like this example runs C7x code over TI-RTOS, so maybe you could use this framework for your project. This could be a temporary solution until we resolve the issue.


    Best regards,
    François.

  • Hello François

    We didn't have a chance to try your proposed workaround yet
    Did you get internal news ?

    It's a bit surprising that creating a sysbios project for C71x in CCS doesn't work out of the box with the latest PDK & latest CCS (or even previous versions)

    Best regards

  • Hi,

    To get started on a SYBIOS based example on C7x I refer you to this link which takes about a basic example we have in PSDKRA which is make file based.

    All our demos are make file based but runs using SYSBIOS on C7x DSP. We have not tested using CCS based projects.

    Kindly take a look at the below link in case you are blocked with CCS based approach.

  • I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't planned to use CCS for SYSBIOS on C7x but ok I'll do make file based projects.

    Thank you for your answers
