Add new device (Leo) to catalog and new platform [message #5261]

I need a new device added to the catalog.c6000. The device is called Leo
with device name TNETV107X. The internal memory map is same as Davinci -
DM6446. Also, the LEO evm needs to be added to ti.platforms. The external
memory map is same as Davinci - DM6446, but the clock speed for both DSP
and GPP is 400 MHz.

Please let me know if more information is needed to add the device and the
platform.

Also this should support v6 toolchain on ARM side.

Also need to add the device to catalog.arm. Leo has Arm11 v6 core (unlike
Davinci which has Arm9)

Hello Madhvi,

I can file a ER in bugzilla.
Do you have an externally published datasheet for the device family? Also,
do you have the part numbers (which have been released to the market) that
are of interest to you?

Thanks
Amit

Anyone can file a bug at http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/rtsc (see "Request
a Feature").

Aslo, it is _not_ necessary to add a device to ti.catalog.c6000 to
create a platform that _fully_ supports a TNETV107X HW platform.

Creation of devices in a separate "catalog" package is a good thing when
more than one platform references the same device (almost always) but
initially it is not required.

In this case a device module is required since Madhvi wants to implement
the 'getLibs' method (in 'package.xs') that returns special libraries
built for the TNETV107X device.

Right, _but_ the device module need not be in the ti.catalog.c6000
package. In fact, it can be in _any_ package, including the platform
package.

I dont think I understood the workaround Dave is talking about. In my
Platform.xdc (in ti.platforms.evmTNETV107X), I have the following:

readonly config xdc.platform.IExeContext.Cpu DSP = {
id: "0",
clockRate: 400.0,
catalogName: "ti.catalog.c6000",
deviceName: "TMS320CTNETV107X",
revision: "1.0",
};

readonly config xdc.platform.IExeContext.Cpu GPP = {
id: "1",
clockRate: 400.0,
catalogName: "ti.catalog.arm",
deviceName: "TMS320CTNETV107X",
revision: "1.0",
};

Now, my catalogName is ti.catalog.c6000 (for DSP). So if I dont put my
device under ti.catalog.c6000, then I will have to modify the catalogName
here to point to the new location?

Also whats the difficulty/hurdle in adding the new device under ti.catalog?

Thanks

The docs for Leo are at

http://dilsps-bcil.isr.asp.ti.com/VOIP/Projects/Leo/Pages/de fault.aspx

Look under specification.

I dont have the link for externally published docs yet. This is an
internal one.

The Leo device family can be referenced using TNETV107X part number.
(TNETV1072 is the main device; but there are more variants too. Hence the
X in the last digit.) As far as the RTSC platforms/devices are concerned,
I think we can use the generic part number - TNETV107X.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Madhvi,
You can create a device module in a package of your choice (say 'ti.leo').
Then in your platform specification file you can set the 'catalogName'
attribute of the 'xdc.platform.IExeContext.Cpu' parameter to the name of
this package. Ensure that your package ('ti.leo') is on the package path.

> Also whats the difficulty/hurdle in adding the new device under ti.catalog?

All TI supported devices that require XDCtools will be added to
'ti.catalog' package. The point to be made here is that you need not be
blocked until this support is provided in an official release of XDCtools.
You can very easily create a device module in a package of your choice and
a platform package referring the device.

Thanks
Amit

Madhvi,
We need the following pieces to support TNETV107X
(a) Device modules for TNETV107X in ti.catalog.*
(b) New RTSC target for the TI compiler for ARM11
(c) Platform package for Leo

I have filed the following bugs corresponding to (a) and (b) above:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=283050
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=283056

I have some additional questions:
-What is the internal memory map of the ARM11 core?
-What is the external memory map of the Leo platform? Also, what is the
official (marketing) name for the Leo platform? Typically, the RTSC
platform packages shipped with XDCtools support officially released
EVMs/DSKs from TI.

Regards
Amit

Thanks Amit for the clarification.

I have done the necessary temporary changes to my xdctools and my work is
un-blocked. As you would have guessed, my purpose of raising the topic
here is to get it officially supported. I know I should have just filed a
bug, but I am still new to this bugzilla :) Thanks for your help.

Thanks
Madhvi

We dont need a new compiler target for Arm11. The existing
gnu.targets.arm.GCArmv6 (for Linux) and microsoft.targets.arm.WinCE (for
Wince) can be used.

I will send you the other pieces of information (memory map, etc) as soon
as I retrieve them.

Thanks

Please refer to the following docs for the memory map information:

http://dilsps-bcil.isr.asp.ti.com/VOIP/Projects/Leo/Specific ation/Document%20Library/Design%20Specifications/Leo_Ch04_Ch ip_Level.doc

http://dilsps-bcil.isr.asp.ti.com/VOIP/Projects/Leo/Specific ation/Document%20Library/General%20Information/Leo_memory_ma p.xls

I confirmed with my marketing team and the official device name is
TNETV107X. As mentioned earlier, for platform you can use evmTNETV107X.
