CCS/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X: Issue with Sitara AM65x bare-meta example for ARM Cortex-A53

Chris Sen

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I followed the example here: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_examples_demos.html

DMSC_Cortex_M3_0 and CortexA53_0_0 are connected. But once the "hello_world.out" is loaded, CortexA53_0_0 start running (Running(Secure)). It does not start from the enter point which should be 0x70001000. See picture below:

When I hit pulse, the PC is stuck at 0x0200. See picture below:

What went wrong? I tried to set the linker start address at 0x70001000 but it does not help.

Chris,

Can you confirm that you are setting the AM65x EVM Hardware in no boot mode. All SW2 and SW3 pins set to OFF and that you are able see the GEL file execute when you connect to M3 and A53 as described here:
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_how_to_guides.html

Can you also please confirm for me that your A53 project is using the 64 bit GCC compiler in Processor SDK RTOS and not the 32 bit version that ships with CCSv8.

Regards,
Rahul

After repeat the process with a blank workspace, it started working. I don't know what I did differently though.
