Hi Andrew Virtual have improved as well as the quirky USB driver issues. The low end JTAG are around $100.A dual boot window/ Linux is also a great way bro repurpose any old Intel Box) laptop you can scrounge. Also C66x stand-alone board's are quite cheap if you want to pick up DSP. I have an

Hi Mark, Re: JTAG + code composer right to the DSP: That does seem to be the main support path that TI is providing at the moment, but runs foul of two impediments for me: JTAG emulator dongles tend to the expensive side, for home hacking activities, and Code Composer for macOS doesn't

Hello Andrew # On the other hand, the reason that I have the #BBAI is to play with some DSP on the C66x cores,  Why not use JTAG + code composer right to the DSP You obviously wouldn't have the Unix to DSP part for a product but you could play with DSP and sort out rest later Sent from Yahoo

FreeBSD isn't what runs on the Apple Mac as such. The Mac kernel, "Darwin", is derived from the CMU Mach microkernel research, with a BSD-derived kernel running as a single-server, rather than a multi-server configuration (like minix or QNX). In the CMU days, before NeXT, that was based on

I had another look at BSD. Yes, lord only knows how you would convince the beagle to boot and root into that. Is this the thing the basis of what now runs on Apple Mac's? What would you use that for? I would miss the Linux/drivers folder too much. Are you stuck indoors as well? I will be

You should have a ROOTFS and a BOOTFS. One is about BOOT is 20Mb and the ROOT is about 500Mb or bigger. The BOOT is a FAT and the ROOT is a EXT4 partition. Give those a check first. The ROOT contains directories: bin etc lib32lost+found mnt proc run sys usr dev lib linuxrc

Do you have a 3.3V serial TTL to plug into the beagle? Can you put a copy of the output on here so we can see what the board is saying as it boots up? p.s. the 3.3V cable is best bought from RS components or Farnell, as Amazon sells fake ones that don't work. Cheers Rich On Fri, Apr 10, 2020
