GG 04:45 PM Software Development: RE: IndustrialLO.bin
Hi Scott,
Yes, the IndustrialIO.bin file distributed in the MDK has the base module and other cores built in and you can access them through the EMIF interface.
The cores in IndustrialIO.bin are:
constant CORE_BASE_MODULE : inte...

Hello,
I am working with writing drivers to access FPGA registers on the EMIFA. I currently don't have any custom vhdl code. My end design will have me access some dual port ram on the FPGA via CS3 on the ARM. Until I get our desig...

Mike -
Glad you are up and running. Good point about the out of box experience.
Thanks,

MC 04:25 PM Software Development: RE: no serial data when first using dev kit
Hi Greg,
That was it! I did not use the cable supplied because I always have serial cables connected to my computer.
On that note, the DVD should really have a simple getting started pdf explaining things such as the null modem ca...

GG 04:20 PM Software Development: RE: no serial data when first using dev kit
Hi Mike,
J502 is the default RS232 port and the ribbon cable is meant to be used on this port for RS232 communication.
My guess is that you are not using a Null Modem cable and that is the reason you see nothing over RS232. Let us ...

MC 04:11 PM Software Development: no serial data when first using dev kit
Hi,
I am just starting to get my Dev kit up and running with the L138f Module. I am used to the Embedded Linux dev environment, and was under the impression that I should be able to get a Bootloader running right out of the box over...

KF 06:50 PM FPGA Development: RE: Xilinx ISE Design Suite 13.2 and MDK_2011_08_01
Hi Mike,
The files it was getting stuck on were ads7843.vhd, i2c.vhd, lcd_ctlr.vhd and tfp410.vhd.
However, I made progress, by removing them from the project whilst the project was updated, changing the device info to give a speed of...

The project and NGC files were built with ISE 12.3. We will be migrating the 13.x in the next release cycle.
Which ngc files does the project require the source for?

MW 09:02 PM Software Development: RE: u-boot prompt from kernel possible ?
Hi Thomas,
From linux, if you issue the "reboot" command, it will jump back to u-Boot.
The bootdelay variable (see the "u-Boot documentation, here":http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootEnvVariables) is read from the u-Boot enviro...

TN 06:21 PM Software Development: u-boot prompt from kernel possible ?
Hi,
Once the kernel is loaded and we are logged in, is there a way to restart and bring the card to U-boot> prompt whenever we want ? In other words, is it possible to somehow selectively get to u-boot prompt after booting, without miss...

GG 03:12 PM Software Development: RE: Transfer files to card from PC via usb ? instead of ethernet ?
What modules are missing exactly? In the kernel menuconfig you can elect to "Enable loadable module support" and then include certain drivers as modules (select M instead of Y in the menuconfig). Perhaps you changed this when rebuilding ... Gregory Gluszek
TN 02:51 PM Software Development: RE: Transfer files to card from PC via usb ? instead of ethernet ?
Thank you. I downloaded Tera Term and it worked !
sorry to bother you - one last question. I noticed that after kernel installation using the uImage I built, the modules are missing. How can I make sure the drivers (.ko) files get into ...

What program are you using for terminal access?
I just tested with Tera Term Professional Version 4.57, using the default Kermit settings, and the Kermit transfer seems to have worked fine:

MW 01:40 PM Software Development: RE: Transfer files to card from PC via usb ? instead of ethernet ?
You will need to rebuild the kernel (and install it on your system) such that it supports USB mass storage devices and ensure that the FAT filesystem is enabled.
You can download a new kernel image (painful, I understand) to run out o...

Can you provide a reference schematic to your baseboard?
Do you have a USB memory stick connected to one of the two ports?

TN 06:33 PM Software Development: RE: MityDSP GUI
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion.
We have our own baseboard with mitydsp connected to it. Using UART to USB it is now detected on the PC. Thanks for the help.
Thomas Nagel
MW 12:53 PM Software Development: RE: MityDSP GUI
Hi Thomas,
I'm a little confused. The MItyDSP-L138 card is a "system on module (SOM) or computer on module (COM) ":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-on-module, not a "single board computer (SBC) ":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin...
Michael Williamson
TN 12:41 PM Software Development: RE: MityDSP GUI
Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. We do not have the baseboard. Only the mitydsp-l138 card. Can we still communicate with it directly ? For example, USB to ethernet ? Is that possible ?
Thanks.

MW 07:33 AM Software Development: RE: MityDSP GUI
The Industrial I/O card (the MityDSP-L138 development kit baseboard) should have come with a 10 pin ribbon to DB-9 connector. That plugs into the connector next to the power input terminals. The interface requires a NULL modem serial c... Michael Williamson

Yes, we have OMAPL138 product. Is there a user interface that works with this card ?
We are trying to use UART interface to communicate.
Thomas Nagel
TC 05:02 PM Software Development: RE: MityDSP GUI
Hi Thomas -
The MityDSP GUI is used only with our 6711 and 6455 based product. I believe you have an OMAPL138 or AM1808 based product, is this correct?
Thank you -

Is the MityDSP GUI , part of hardware shipment ? or do we have to buy it separately ? Can I download it from criticallink ?

TI 02:43 PM Software Development: RE: Eclipse CDT Builder problem when set up for cross compile
Fred,
There's a good chance that your bashrc file is no being read when you start it from the launcher. I don't remember the exact rules, but you may need to put the setup in your .bash_profile instead.

FW 02:35 PM Software Development: RE: Eclipse CDT Builder problem when set up for cross compile
The angstrom environment-setup script is run at the end of my .bashrc file.
Running Eclipse from a shell known to "work" does indeed allow the cross compiler to run. When Eclipse is started using the Gnome launcher, it does not work.....

Hi Fred,
Where are you running the angstrom environment-setup script? We typically add this to the end of our bashrc and things work fine.
Also, how are you starting up Eclipse? Have you tried launching it from a terminal (where y...
