Using both of cores (EVM6747 and ARM9) from Code Composer Studio

RIZUAN

Hello everyone,

I'm using EVM6747 inside OMAP L137 from Code Composer Studio to read files from SD/MMC, do some processing and write the output back to SD/MMC. I'm wondering, is it possible to use both of the cores (the C6747 and ARM9) from Code Composer Studio to speed up my codes ?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Rizuan,

CCS supports developing for both the ARM9 and the C6x. However most people who are using the ARM9 run Linux on the ARM9 and use the appropriate tools for that. There is a Linux SDK available for OMAPL137.

If you just want to build code without running LInux on the ARM9 you can use the TI ARM compiler in CCS.

John

John,

Thanks for the reply. Could you please show me how to install the TI ARM compiler in CCS ? I'm using CCS V3.3. How about memory portion that can be shared between the C6747 and the ARM ? Does the SDRAM is one of them ?

Kind regards,

Rizuan

Rizuan,

When you install CCS it will prompt you what families you want to install support for. Make sure to check the OMAP/ARM boxes.

I am not sure which memory is shared between the cores. I would suggest posting something to the OMAPL1x device forum.
