Compiler/OMAP-L137: What is the difference in the variant built between EVMOMAPL137 and OMAPL137

Part Number: OMAP-L137

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi all, 

I have posted this part of my another question, but it was not answered. seeking help from the experts who have used this.

I'm using a customised OMAPL137 board.

I would like to know the difference between choosing EVMOMAPL137 and OMAPL137 under properties General-> Main-> Variant.

What difference would it cause choosing one over the other?

Kind Regards,

Nancy

    Hi Nancy,
    The device variant option can control many things such as the linker command file used, startup GEL files used, compiler options, etc. The OMAPL137 variant would be the generic option while the EVMOMAPL137 would have settings that specifically apply to the EVM for that device. If you are using a custom board, you should use the generic option.

    As for what is specifically different between the two variants, at first glance - not much. The only difference I noticed is between the startup GEL files for the DSP. The EVMOMAPL137 uses a gel file that is specific to the EVM - likely defining external memory on the EVM and other board specific things.

    Thanks
