CCS/OMAP3503: OMAP4430 not OMAP3503 : Cross compile option

Genius 12760 points
Part Number: OMAP3503

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Customer is using OMAP4430 and asked: Is the CCS (Windows version) able to cross compile (and configure) an embedded Linux (like Buildroot or Yocto)?

Regards, Bernd

  • Bernd,

    Despite I am not familiar with Yocto or Buildroot, I used the regular CDT project capabilities of CCS to cross compile Linux applications in Windows and I know it is perfectly capable of doing so. However, depending on the complexity of the application or the source tree, it may be required to use cygwin to workaround the filesystem differences between the two. This will also be required if the build system uses shell scripts and relies on *nix command line utilities.

    The major issue at this point then becomes one about practicality: evaluating the benefits and efforts of porting these build systems to a windows-cygwin environment. Unfortunately I am not experienced in these to give an assessment about that. Perhaps the experts at the Sitara forum could help.

    Regards,
    Rafael
