CR 04:12 PM PCB Development: RE: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
The one without the FPGA. Christian Rückl
MW 12:42 PM PCB Development: RE: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
For which module? One that includes an FPGA or not?
Michael Williamson
CR 11:59 AM PCB Development: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
Hi,
which EMA-Pins of the EMIFA-Interface already connected to the L138-onboard-peripherials?
I couldn't found any detaild informations about.
Thanks,

Mike, thanks for the quick response.
A STEP model is currently available at [http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/attachments/1293/MityDSP-L138F.step] unless you're referring to a newer version.

We may have a STEP model of the module, let me see if I can get that published. Michael Williamson
MW 08:35 AM PCB Development: RE: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)
Short answer is yes, 1.6mm maximum height. And you should probably hold to that height for the entire area below SOM as per the design guide, as there are a couple of small IC's outside the area in the drawing that was posted and there ... Michael Williamson
WC 08:11 AM PCB Development: RE: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)
The drawing you provided highlights a keep-out area for high profile components. What is the maximum component height allowed in this area? Is it 1.60 mm as specified in Figure 2 of the carrier board design guide?
Thanks.

MW 03:08 PM Software Development: RE: L138 - DSP Timer interrupt question ...
Are you running DSPLINK to load/run program the C674x side?
DSPLINK uses interrupt levels 4 and 5 for the ARM/DSP IPC. You might try using a level above 5 for the interrupt, particularly if you are seeing sporadic interrupt behavior....

We are running on the board on the C674x side and have some success with our periodic timer interrupt. However, it seems we are not setting up the interrupt controller properly since we sometimes get p...

Hi Greg,
At the risk of writing a novel, I recommend you take a peek at the following pages / sites / documents:

GW 07:49 PM Software Development: General SW questions on the MityDSP L138F development kit
A few general SW questions for the novice user. We are planning to use the MityDSP L138F development kit. Here are some general questions:
1. Can our development SW code run out of FLASH?
2. If not, what is the footprint our deve...

JB 09:19 PM Software Development: RE: RS232 UART Needed
Initial indications are good that the ARM changes worked. Attached are the two files modified: @baseboard-industrialio.c@ and @da850.c@. The originals for both are from the 2012-03-12 MDK with a path of @MDK_2012-03-12/sw/ARM/linux/linux... Jeff Benshetler
MW 02:02 PM Software Development: RE: RS232 UART Needed
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:

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... Michael Williamson

OK, I think I found the ARM part of the solution. Part of it comes from this wiki [[http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/boards/28/topics/1365]]. The other part comes from [[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Enabling_UART1_on_AM... Jeff Benshetler

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

AN 09:01 AM Software Development: USB from uBoot (posted on behalf of a customer)
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.

Thanks for that explanation Mike. I asked about this because I was seeing odd behavior in my OMAP/FPGA applications. My FPGA designer was using the uPP xmit clock from the OMAP for a uPP channel back to the OMAP. He also uses the EMIF... Scott Whitney

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...

Thinking ahead, how does I get the ARM to "let go" of GPIO pins for use by the DSP? Jeff Benshetler
JB 07:34 PM Software Development: RS232 UART Needed

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 ...

GG 09:21 AM Software Development: RE: Starter Guide: "Boot the MityDSP-L138 up into linux." - How?
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.

GG 06:04 PM Software Development: RE: EMIFA clock
Hi Scott,
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 ...

SW 02:35 PM Software Development: EMIFA clock
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...
