MW 04:01 PM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your feedback. We'll try to update the Hello World page and address your comments. The challenge of course is that many tools (e.g., CCS from TI and eclipse in general) continue to migrate and change and we m...

PS 03:19 PM Software Development: Reflections after building DSP "Hello, world!"
I managed to compile the DSP Hello World...*finally*.
(Using Version: 4.2.4.00033 of CCS on WinXP)
I noticed a few of issues when following the guide at:

SW 01:29 PM FPGA Development: uPP routing
Hello,
We are trying to debug a uPP application and routed the chan A and Chan B signals through the fpga to connector J104. The Industrial IO data sheet lists 10 of these pins as LVDS pairs and mentions added termination resistors f...

TN 04:04 PM Software Development: jffs2 check
Hi,
After transferring the jffs2 filesystem via uBoot, using the "nand write.jffs2 C2000000 0 <>" command, is there any method to check whether the file system is fine - before starting kernel - in order to detect block errors or possi...

SW 03:48 PM Software Development: RE: uPP digital loopback
Greg,
I'm using the default ASYNCH3 clock which is PLL_SYSCLK1 I think. This should be divided down automatically. Since I am just using this to test the uPP I won't worry about it and keep the Chan A and Chan B clock divisors equal...

GG 01:49 PM Software Development: RE: uPP digital loopback
Hi Scott,
As far as I know we have not seen any issue like what you're describing when using a uPP clock driven by the FPGA. Given, we haven't done much work with the uPP in DLB, so it could be a problem unique to that setup.
Anoth...

Hello,
I have a linux driver module to test the uPP in digital loopback. I saw some odd behavior in regards to the clock divisors on Channels A and B. I have the module set to loopback 64 bytes from channel A to channel B. If I se...

BT 04:36 PM PCB Development: uPP Test Points
Are there test points available on the MityDSP-L138F for the following uPP signals?
'UPP_CHA_ENABLE' = L138 Pin#U16 to FPGA Pin#H5
'UPP_CHA_START' = L138 Pin#W15 to FPGA Pin#C1
'UPP_CHA_CLOCK' = L138 Pin#U17 to FPGA Pin#H7

Greg,
Thanks for the reply. My question was more of how the clocks are setup on the board as a default. I suspected that the clocks were standard with the the uPP xmit clock 300/4 MHz. I found my problem with the uPP code in the en...

The default kernel and root filesystem may "just work". If you plug in the device you should see some messages about it and the device should appear as /dev/ttyUSB0. If that doesn't happen, then you'll need to run make menuconfig and a... Michael Williamson

Hmm, I don't really need a physical port. Is there any com over ethernet software availible for these systems?

One extra port should suffice. I'll order one of the keyspan adapters right away.

MW 07:49 AM Software Development: RE: Additional serial port on the MityDSP Profibus dev-kit
Hi Mattias,
I think that your best (or easiest) bet would be to use a usb-to-serial adapter on the Host (USB1) port. If you need more than one, you should be able to use a (powered) hub and attach multiple units. We have used Keyspa...

The fastest you will be able to get the uPP transmit clock to run with your setup is 75 MHz.

I want to generate an interrupt from the FPGA to ARM side of the MityDSP-L138/F board. Is there any example available for doing that and how to make the application aware of the interrupt.
With regards

MW 10:18 AM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA clock
On the module itself, the EMA_CLK clock (B7) of the OMAP-L138 is connected to the FPGA. We generally use this clock for most of the core framework we provide. Given the EMIFA must run on this domain, it's convenient and allows us to av... Michael Williamson
SW 09:00 AM FPGA Development: FPGA clock
Are there any dedicated pins on the FPGA for a clock input? In the IndustrialIO.bin designs do you just use the 100 MHz EMIFA clock as the FPGA input clock? Thanks, Scott Scott Whitney
