Dear TI,
We have a board built on C6670 architecture (2 DSP's on the same board). We have been able to boot from PCI straight demo RBL on a regular PC.
We we are having problems inserting our board in a VPX chassis where the SBC (single board computer) does not want to boot when the board is inserted (in PCI boot mode).
We would like to try some workarounds as it is done in the IBL for the EVM. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with
1) We want to run from SPI rather than EE2ROM (a bit faster), Can I compile the IBL (without the part checking the FPGA registers) and generate an image that can run from the NOR flash?
2) Do you have a manual (or application note) on how to generate a bootable (bin) image from a file generated in CCS (*.out)? I assume I can use the NOR writer example to write to the NOR afterward.
3) How do I debug your IBL from CVS? I have tried to load ibl\src\make\bin\i2cparam_0x51_c6670_le_0x500.out but the starting code try to rewrites to the EPROM fails and corrupts it. Loading the out files from ibl\src\make\ibl_c66x\ but it does not work.
4) there are 2 main in the IBL code. One is in iblInit.c and one in iblMain.c. It seems that there are two pieces of code that are built. How do they work out together?
thanks for your help
