[FAQ] C665x, C667x, K2E and K2H: IPC build in RTOS Processor SDK

To Build IPC in BIOS (Windows environment) following requirements should be met,

1. Requirements:
   
   1. IPC directory will be installed along with RTOS Processor SDK, Download Links for RTOS SDK are
      • C665x : C665x RTOS Processor SDK
      • C667x : C667x RTOS Processor SDK
      • K2E     :  K2E SDK
      • K2H     : K2H SDK
   2. Also, we can install IPC packages without installing the whole SDK, Download links of variuos versions also available.
      • IPC
   3. XDC tools (XDC)
   4. TI CGT for building IPC binaries for C66x devices (TI-CGT-C6000 )
2. Procedure
   
   1. Goto IPC installed folder and "XDC_INSTALL_DIR", "BIOS_INSTALL_DIR", "PDK_INSTALL_DIR" and target processor needs to be specified in make file
      1. Modify the "products.mak" by adding the following lines,

      2. XDC_INSTALL_DIR ?= C:\ccs_090300\xdctools_3_60_02_34_core
         BIOS_INSTALL_DIR ?= C:\ti\bios_6_76_03_01
         PDK_INSTALL_DIR ?= C:\ti\pdk_c665x_2_0_16\packages
         ti.targets.elf.C66 ?= C:\ccs_090300\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-c6000_8.3.11

   2.  While in the same folder, open command prompt by typing "cmd" in address bar in windows explorer and then give the following commands,
      

      1. C:\ti\ipc_3_50_04_07>..\xdctools_3_55_02_22_core\gmake.exe -f ipc-bios.mak all

      2. IPC binaries will be Compiled and built successfully.
   3. Also attached the IPC guide for
      1. BIOS(Windows) : IPC_Install_Guide_BIOS.pdf
      2. Linux : 3051.IPC_Install_Guide_Linux.pdf
      3. QNX : IPC_Install_Guide_QNX.pdf
