Hi, We have a TMS320C6201 EVM (Evaluation module) board, which sits on the PCI interface of a host PC. We are planning to use that as a network interface card (NIC)on a linux system. So, we'll have to write a network device driver for that. To develop code for the TI DSP, we are using code composer, which is a windows based software. We are planning to have a machine set up in dual boot in windows and linux. The code development for the DSP would be done on windows. The code would be downloaded onto the DSP and then, we would boot the host PC in Linux. The DSP EVM card would then act as a NIC.
The host PC CPU is intel x386. Though the mail may be out of place here, I am hoping to get some insights. The code composer tool writes into the RAM of the DSP. So, when the rebooting of the PC happens, the code gets removed. Are there any loaders available, that would reload the code into the DSP, once the PC is rebooted in Linux. Firstly, is anyone aware of any Linux based software for code development on TI DSPs ? If not, is the method I am using, the best thing to do ? Please cc the reply to my email address too, 'cos I am not a member of this group. Thanks in advance, Dinesh ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
