Mity CPU Platforms » MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms)

Hi,

I was trying to compile the DSP HelloWorld Application available at the following location. http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wiki/DSP_Hello_World. I got both the ARM side and the DSP side files to compile after much effort. However when I load the binaries onto the target and launch the application, it does not work. I get the following message on my console.

Loading file HelloWorldDSP.out

the same message keeps repeating and the board does not respond

I am using the following versions of tools
CGT : TI_CGT_C6000_7.4.5 (downloaded from the TI website and installed)
DSP BIOS : bios_5_42_01_09 (downloaded from the TI website and installed separately)
MDK : MDK_2011-03-31 (downloaded from the files section of this website)
EDMA3 : edma3_lld_01_10_00_01 (downloaded from the TI website and installed on Windows. Then I copied the libraries folders to my Virtual box)

I am using a makefile to compile my code (both ARM and DSP side).

Now the interesting part is as follows.
If I use CCS5.5 to compile the DSP side code, as instructed on http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wiki/DSP_Hello_World , then the application runs successfully. I am at a loss to understand what tools/libraries am I using incorrectly.

Anybody out there who has faced this issue?
