TMDSEVM572X: SW development for EVE cores

Part Number: TMDSEVM572X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5728, AM5729, AM5749

Hello,

We bought our development board TMDSEVM572X which comes with Processor SDK Linux.

I am struggling to get access to EVE cores to execute some code there. We would like to get some example algorithms and compile them to execute them in our development board.

What would be the best approach to do that? Where could I get some examples so we can take it from there.

Thank you very much,

Jorge

  • Hi Jorge,

    Unfortunately the TMDSEVM572X has the AM5728 device installed, which does not have the EVE cores enabled.  The EVE cores are enabled on the AM5729 (4x EVEs) and the AM5749 (2x EVEs).

    Today we have the AM5749 IDK, and there is a lower-cost community board called BeagleBone-AI that includes the AM5729 (more information on beagleboard.org).

    This page has more information:

    The EVE cores are accessed through APIs, and not we do not support direct programming.

  • Hi Mike,

    Thank you very much for your reply. We also have a beaglebone to test it out. We would like to execute some computer vision algorithms on the EVE cores such as corner detection or optical flow. I have noticed that looking on VISION SDK for TDA2xx hardware that these algorithms seems to be available for that platform. These platform have pretty much the same components as AM5729 as the Beaglebone AI have.

    Do you know how we should proceed to have these algorithms running on the Beaglebone AI? What would be the best way to run these algorithms on the EVE cores of the AM5729?

    Unfortunately, for the Beaglebone AI all the examples available for EVE cores are for deep learning.

    Thank you very much,

    Jorge

  • Hi Jorge,

     Existing software infrastructure on BBAI and AM5729, AM5749 is limited to the usage of EVE cores as deep learning accelerators.  They doesn't allow for general vision algorithm programming.
