The quickest and easiest path to customizing a root file system is to start from the file system images included in the MDK under the "fs" directory.

I am trying to utilize the Timer peripherals from the DSP side via Syslink, and I have a couple of questions/issues, causing my timers to not run.

I understand that you do not support SysLink, and using your MDK for ARM-DSP communication is very easy for me, too, given the complexity of SysLink examples and the E2E forum's reluctance to respond to my questions.

We currently do not support SysLink in the capacity needed to answer your most recent questions. We recommend pursuing your project using our MDK (which utilizes DSPLink instead of SysLink), as we are more able to provide sup... - OÇ 01:34 PM Software Development: RE: SysLink Configuration

- MW 06:38 PM Software Development: RE: Configuring MityDSP for 256MB DRAM
- UBoot reports 128 MB,but you should be able to address 256 MB in uboot as well as the kernel. You may need to pass it a mem=256M for it to address it.

So I used the files in the /images dir of the MDK 2014 and successfully programmed the board. However UBL continues to detect 128MB DRAM, the UBL version does list Jul 11, 2011.

- Hi Jonathan,
Thanks, I'll give it a try, however I did brick the board early on and had to reflash UBL and u-boot. Dunno maybe I grabbed the older 2010 UBL version at that time.
Regs, Tom - JC 01:13 PM Software Development: RE: Configuring MityDSP for 256MB DRAM

So now I do see in the UBL device.c, in the 2014 MDK, support for 256MB sizes. I assume I'll have to built and install that

https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wik... - MW 10:49 PM Software Development: RE: Configuring MityDSP for 256MB DRAM
- There is a custom version of the UBL that queries the local I2C factory PROM to get the part number and sets up the DRAM accordingly. I believe the source code for that UBL is provided in the MDK. Is that what you are using?
- Hi,
We have a L138-FI-236-RL, which should have 256MB of DRAM. U-boot is reporting DRAM : 128MB. The bootargs pass mem=96M which makes sense since all of the MDK examples (using 2014-01-03) have the DSP configured with 32MB. My guess ...
