- Sorry. da8xx_cfg_reg_list should have been davinci_cfg_reg_list(), typo, my mistake.
For the FPGA drivers, you should be able to cd to the FPGA drivers directory (MDK_2012-03-12/sw/ARM/linux/drivers/fpga) on the MDK and run: - JB 01:37 PM Software Development: RE: RS232 UART Needed

- They don't. The critical link BSP linux kernel is tracking the mainline, not the TI PSPs for the OMAP-L138. TI has pushed most peripheral support from it's PSP into the mainline, with a couple of minor exceptions. We felt tracking the...

- Currently, USB stick support for the MityDSP-L138F u-Boot port has not been enabled/implemented/tested.
The u-Boot supports (tested) the following media:
- EMAC (MII or RGMII) via TFTP or NFS
- onboard SPI NOR FLASH
- onboard NAN... - We attempted to access the evaluation board's USB port using uBoot and didn't have much success.
Should this be working?
The uBoot command we used was 'usb reset'. And we are using the L138 SOM with the pre-loaded uBoot.

- Hi Jeff,
Can you confirm you are running the kernel you are building out of MDK_2012-03-12? The uname command you ran indicates a 2.6.34 kernel, and that MDK should have a 3.2 release kernel and a newer filesystem. If you are runnin... - JB 07:52 PM Software Development: RE: RS232 UART Needed
- Thinking ahead, how does I get the ARM to "let go" of GPIO pins for use by the DSP?
For my immediate project, I need:
1) an RS-232 TTL-level input with RX, TX and an edge-triggered interrupt on DCD;
2) a GPIO line for output
3) it would be preferable if the RS232 lines could come out of an existing connector, e.g. ...- MW 01:32 PM Software Development: RE: EMIFA clock
- Hi Scott,
So there is code in the linux kernel to recompute the EMIFA frequency and attempt to keep it at specified maximum frequency (which, I believe, by default, is limited to 100 MHz). Last time I checked, if you ask for 456 MHz ...

- Hi Keith,
If you purchased the cards without a development kit then it is expected that they come only with u-boot installed. All of the cards purchased from us will have at least u-boot installed.

Yes, I'm fairly certain that changing the CPU clock will affect the EMIFA clock. By default the EMIFA and CPU clock are at a 1:3 ratio. I believe this ratio is variable though. You can find additional details in the Chapter ... - Hello,
I've got an Industrial IO board and want to change the cpu clock frequency from 300 to 45 MHz. I know this will change the uPP clock to above spec 456/4=114MHz instead of 75MHz. Will this also change the clock on the EMIFA? th... - AB 03:49 PM PCB Development: RE: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)

It was the additional linker file that was missing part of my side. When I added that file, no more linker warning and no more DSP application crash at start-up.

You are correct, the upper ~15MB is not configured by default. You can certainly add another section (we often do on projects here, called "DDR2") in the DSP/BIOS configuration on the project to utilize this block of ... - Documentation said that 32 MB are reserved for DSP. When I look at the DSP memory mapping, it seems that 15 MB of memory is "lost".
