Other Parts Discussed in Thread: 4460
I'm getting started on a project where I will be developing some bare-metal (no OS) code for the dual Cortex A9s in the OMAP 4460 chip (PandaBoard environment). I'm about to start evaluating the TI CCS 5 toolset since this seems to be the most well-supported toolset for the development platform. From what I've read, a good cost-effective debugger solution is the XDS100v2.
I have these questions:
1. Are the CCS tools + XDS100v2 debugger sufficient to develop code for the Cortex-A9s in the OMAP chip? I know this is a TI forum, but can anyone comment on other compilers such as IAR...? Or other debuggers...?
2. If CCS is ok, is the free license sufficient, or do I need to do the 90-day full-feature evaluation?
3. Is there somewhere to download some assembly CCS 5 C-run-time-0 code for the dual-core A9 (setting up stacks, heaps, interrupts, caches, etc.)? I assume this is necessary...
I am posting this question also to the Code Composer Forum...
Thanks very much,
Errett
