CCS/AM5716: Proper configuration method for AM5716 DSP

Keith Elliott
Intellectual 890 points

Part Number: AM5716

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm attempting to create a project for the C66x DSP core on the AM5716.  When I go to create the project I have the option to select "AM571x - Cortex A15" as the target after selecting AM5716 in the dropdown.  I'm then presented with a project tab for each of the cores on the processor.  However, when looking at the project properties for one of the provided examples (C:\ti\processor_sdk_rtos_am57xx_3_01_00_06\demos\image_processing\ipc\evmam572x) I see that the project is configured to target "Generic Devices - Generic C66xx Device".  My question is which method of configuring the target is correct and how should I do it in my project?

    Hi Keith,
    initially selecting a specific device instead of "Generic" is often recommended because it would "fine tune" the default project properties for that particular device. This could be the cmd file used, build options, etc. But it does not mean that a project that is configured for a "generic" device is invalid. It could be that whomever created the project started off that way and then fine tuned the properties manually anyway (perhaps different than what the AM5716 setting would do). It all depends on the project.

    Hope this helps
