The DSP receives data from the McBSP1 via EDMA using the SIO_issue()/SIO_reclaim mechanism from the TI example. After processing the data, it is loaded into a sec...

While troubleshooting the state of the lock status line I did discover there were instances of the clock not being locked, which I believe was the source of the problem we were seeing. I moved the clock monitoring code from your... - MW 08:05 AM Software Development: RE: SATA link down
- Hi,
Can you confirm that your drive is limited to SATA-II link speeds.
See the "AM1808 Errata":http://www.ti.com/lit/er/sprz313e/sprz313e.pdf Advisory 2.1.11 for details.
This usually resolves the issue. Most drives have a ju... - I am attaching SATA SSD drives to MityARM1808.I am using 2.6.x kernel and NFS.My SSD is formated EXT2 with 1 Partition.

I tried lminfo and it doesn't recognise the image. I attach a log of the u-boot commands used and a small dump of the file. Also a log from a PC application (readelf) which seems to decipher the header O...

Thanks a lot. - MW 08:45 AM Software Development: RE: U-Boot ELF loader

Was there a resolution to this problem - I'm having the same problem.

I'm using VPIF. It *might* also be the case that my interfering tasks are interfering because they're transferring 153600 byte buffers between the DSP and ARM, via proc_READ() and proc_WRITE().

Thanks for the advice. FYI, this is same project as Wade Calcutt is working on, regarding FPGA loading properly.
Bumping up bus master DMA priority sounds like that for which I'm looking. I looked at the TRM, and please con... - MW 10:26 AM Software Development: RE: Video output blinks frequently
- I suspect that you need to increase the bus master DMA priority of the VPIF or LCDC peripherals (it's not clear to me which output you are using, VPIF or LCDC, sounds like maybe VPIF).
You can read up about the priorities in the "OMAP... - JC 10:24 AM Software Development: RE: Video output blinks frequently

First thing is which version of the kernel are you running?
__uname -a__
Also the command __nice__ can be used to start applications in a lower priority.

To my knowledge we're not changing the CPU frequency. That being said, one of the output messages during Linux boot is:

The EMIFA output clock can change if the OMAP-L138 CPU frequencies are modified (the EMIFA output clock is one of the SYSCLOCK divider outputs on PLL0).
Is it possible you are changing the CPU frequency or messing with the PL... - WC 12:28 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA load verification

Thanks for your response and troubleshooting suggestions.

I'm using a DCM as the clock source. Its source is the 100MHz EMIFA clock and... - MW 12:12 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA load verification
- Hi Wade,
If you are getting the "done" light on the part, then the FPGA is loading correctly and it's 99.99999999999% likely a logic, or more likely a logic reset condition in the code. I only say this because we have never had a pro... - I'm using a MityDSP-L138F with an FPGA load that is a modified version of the example code provided in the Vision Dev Kit.

to

This will force host mode in the driver. I think when y... - MT 06:29 AM Software Development: RE: Problem with uPP in DLB

- If you have it disabled, then it won't happen. Try leaving it enabled and seeting min size to 5.
The other thing that could be done is to use a DCM on the EMIFA clock, which will allow you to deskew any delays in the clock routing.
