SUBARCTIC Windows drivers missing and FTDI ok

Stefano,

Please check the thread below:

Hope this helps,

Hi Rafael, I already quickly visited the link before, but I'm not working with Linux and I need Windows drivers for SUBARCTICT.

Stefano

Hi Rafael, in fact I fixed the issue. Thank you, anyway.   Now I got troubles with linking options and memory mapping:  i'm a NI labview and hardware designer  but I'm just new to the CCS - ARM world, so I waste large amounts of time collecting every detail to make the entire stuff working.  In my opinion,  there is the need for a complete step-by-step starter guide to the starter kit (  :)  ); a well organized book, I mean, where the first obvious things as well as tips and tricks for complex projects can be found quickly. I'd gladly spend money for such a book!  I also think this could be a good way to promote the purchasing of other, more specialized, TI embedded developing systems.

Hope to see this soon on Amazon or else!

Thank you for your time!

Ste,

That is a good idea. We started developing the concept of handbooks that cover the TI software development in a more "textbook" form. You can check the first one that talks about the project and code development process (developed by AartiG):

Edit: we will eventually come up with one for that covers the debug aspects of CCS, so the entire picture becomes more complete.

Thank you Rafael, I think it might be useful (of course) to read in such a book also some very detailed CCS project examples with all the steps and choices made by the designer related to code optimization, linking and compiling options, memory issues and a very accurate focus about the AM335x starter kit hardware usage (PRU, ARM, etc.).

I'm aware this would be a big writing work ( and this is just one kit of yours), I think we should pay for it,  and I also believe it would give a great payback by your customers.

Regards

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

I suffered the same question with you but still seeking the solution. Could you kindly provided your solution for me.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kevin, if you put a bootable SD card in the SD reader, the issue is solved. There's no need for a driver. Alternatively, I think it may be possible to change the booting settings for the Starter kit.

More, you can also simply ignore the issue, launching CCS debug mode before Windows disconnects the starter kit; after the first successful launch, booting from SD reader is stopped until power supply is disconnected from the kit.

regards!
