- Thanks, guys. I found from the release notes that BL: 4.6.0 is from MDK 2.8.2, so I will use:
MityDSP/2.8/software/bin/boot/BootloaderPro.hex
As far as boot FPGA... am I supposed to upload the custom application FPGA mcs file using ... - AD 03:31 PM MityDSP (TI TMS320C6xxx Based Products) Software Development: RE: Updating Bootloader and Bootloader FPGA
- Hi Andrew,
With the PCA orders that include the MityDSP-Pro, they are configured with the updated bootloader and boot FPGA so you can use the much faster high-speed USB interface to do app updates. If you use JTAG to program the FPGA... - MW 03:00 PM MityDSP (TI TMS320C6xxx Based Products) Software Development: RE: Updating Bootloader and Bootloader FPGA
- Hi Andrew,
Our stock MDK bootloader FPGA images do not include a High Speed USB core. I think you need to load up the FPGA MCS file from your application (which will include support for the USB interface, which is "custom" per host ... - We normally receive boards from Critical Link with newer Boot SW and Boot FPGA, so that we are able to connect over Hi-Speed USB using MityDSP Gui, but we recently purchased one that has a Boot FPGA version that is much older, and lacks ...

Thanks for clarifying how the I2C buses are implemented on the module.
There is no problem, I was unclear on how the I2C buses were used on the module and was misinterpreting a kernel debug error message.

- CO 04:16 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: MMCSD
- Ah yes, that makes sense - I forgot about the degree of pin muxing going on in the L138 and the UPP would make sense there. My design is based around the WL1271 as well actually, although I've no reason to suppose a TXB0108 wouldn't do t...

- TI 07:28 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: RE: MityARM-335x LED D3 GPIO Pin?
- The reason you can't talk to the PMIC (from linux) is likely that the pmic driver has grabbed the bus for itself.
If you are using the cmd line tools, you can add the -f flag to force it (I believe)
I'm pretty sure there is a way to ov... - JM 07:17 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: RE: MityARM-335x LED D3 GPIO Pin?
- Hi Mike,
Thanks for the help on where to look. I found the set_led_d3() function inside som.c in u-boot where this is being done.
I was curious why D3 was not turning on when using our new carrier board and whether we were reusing... - MW 06:59 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: RE: MityARM-335x LED D3 GPIO Pin?
- On the AM335x, D2 and D3 are connected to the TPS65910. D2 is connected to VDIG1 (VDIG1 output is only used for D2, no other circuits are powered by VDIG1). Typically, D2 is used as a "Powered" indicator for the module.
D3 is connec... - Section 3.7 of the "MityARM-335x Carrier Board Design Guide.doc" from January 8, 2012 states that LED D3 is connected to a GPIO pin and can be software controlled.

- I am looking at the schematic for the SOM, and there are 4.7K Ohm resistors on I2C1_SCL and I2C1_SDA to VDDIO (+3.3V). There also 4.7K pullups on I2C2_SCL and I2C2_SDA. Both I2C ports are connected to the PMIC. I think that the DevKit...
- It appears that the I2C1 pull-up resistors are placed on the DevKit (connected to the +3.3VDVI net) and not on the MityARM module itself. This seems to be an oversight/error since the I2C1 bus is also connected to the module's on-board ...
- MW 07:06 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
- Yes, there should be several.
The only interface on the EMA on the modules with non-FPGA pins is the NAND (x8, but the upper 8 bit lines should probably be left alone). The NAND interface uses the following signals:
EMA_D(15..0)

The linker error you have looks like the configure was not set up for cross compiling completely (i.e. /usr/lib/... libraries are being looked at instead of /usr/local/ti-sdk... ). I have not built libpcap or tcpdump myself so I... - MW 11:13 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Vision Development Kit - What toolchain?
- Any of the ARM side GCC toolchains released should work with the VDK. I would recommend using the most recent one distributed.
The DSP side, I believe, was compiled with CGT 6.1.19, but any version 7.0 chain should work.

Some background: the MMCSD1 was routed through the FPGA because it is pin-muxed with the UPP channel 0, which gets used quite a bit by our customers to push acquisition data from the FPGA into the OMAP-L138 processor. Ou... - Hi all,

- MW 08:35 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) 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 ...

Thanks.
