OMAP L138 SYS/BIOS and CCS environment

Brian Nutter
Prodigy 90 points

I am considering L138 for a telecom project. I have C6 and DSP/BIOS experience, but no ARM or dual-core experience.

Can the ARM core be set up to operate under SYS/BIOS?

Can I set up SYS/BIOS on both the ARM core and the C6 core in order to send message between threads on the different processors (e.g. shared semaphore or ARM-post / C6-pend)?

Can I set up CCS to single-step debug both ARM and C6 cores at the same time over the single JTAG connection?

Is the CCS that comes with the Experimenter kit fully functional except for the restriction to that specific board?

Do any of the TI CODEC libraries include G.729?

Are the additional capabilities of the XDS560 over the XDS510 relevant to the L138?

Can you point me to an application note that discusses communication between the cores?

    Hello,

    There are multiple questions here which touch on different areas. I will take a crack at the CCS related ones:

    Yes: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Multi-Core_Debug_with_CCS.

    What version of CCS came with the kit? CCSv3 or v4? The v3 version will most likely be locked to the kit. The v4 version is probably the standard version where you can use the free bundled license.

    Generally, yes. XDS560 has better pc<->target speed than the XDS510 and you can use the ETB trace with the ARM.

    I'll see if I can get others to comment on the non-CCS questions.

    Thanks

    Thanks, Ki

    The experimenter's kit comes with CCS V4.

    That CCSv4 version is probably the Platinum (Full) DVD installer. Then you can use the free bundled license to activate CCS for free using the onboard emulation. If you ever wish to upgrade the license so you can use any emulator with the kit, you can do so and simply use that license with your existing install

    Somebody may please answer the folowing questions from tterian

    1.  Can the ARM core be set up to operate under SYS/BIOS?

    2.  Can I set up SYS/BIOS on both the ARM core and the C6 core in order to send message between threads on the different processors (e.g. shared semaphore or ARM-post / C6-pend)?

    Thanks in advance
