System Analyzer Tutorial 5C

Tutorial 5C: Streaming event data over UDP

Under construction!

Background info:

• SYS/BIOS and Linux Multicore Software Development Kits (MCSDK) for C66x, C647x, C645x Processors
• TMS320TCI6614 Literature
• Multicore Navigator (CPPI) for KeyStone Devices User's Guide (SPRUGR9E)
• Enabling small cells with KeyStone software

Prerequisites

• The latest SC-MCSDK target content package
• A board with a C66XX device (e.g. TMDXEVM6670L, TMDXEVM6678L or TMDXEVM6614LE)
• CCSv5.2 or later
• System Analyzer 1.1 or later
• Target content package uia_1_01_01_14 or later

Sending UIA Packets via UDP over bare metal Ethernet using Navigator and the PDK Trace Framework

Creating the Trace Framework Example Project

• In CCS: File / Import / General / Existing Projects into Workspace

• Next
• Browse to the pdk for your evm: e.g. pdk_tci6614_1_00_00_08 and then browse to packages\ti\instrumentation\trace_frmwrk\examples\uia_netcpconsumer
• import the uiaprod_netcpconsumer_example (do NOT check "Copy projects into workspace as there are some links to the content within the pdk package that must be maintained).

• see the .pdf file in the pdk's packages\ti\instrumentation\trace_frmwrk\docs folder for more directions.

You will need to change the MAC address and IP address settings in the logger_app.c file to match your host PC's settings. See the comments in the logger_app.c file for directions on how to do this.

Building the Tutorial 5C Project

• In CCS, select File / Import... / Code Composer Studio - Existing CCS Eclipse Projects

• set the "Select search-directory" field to the temporary folder that you unzipped the project into
• make sure that the "Copy projects into workspace" checkbox is checked.

• In the C/C++ Projects view, right-click on the project and select Show Build Settings...

• In the left pane, select General, and in the right pane, click on the RTSC tab.
• Verify that you have the correct package versions installed. The project was built and tested with the following:

• XDCtools version: 3.23.3.53
• TCI6614 PDK 1.0.1.14
• UIA 1.1.1.14
• SYS/BIOS 6.33.5.46
• Target: ti.targets.elf.C66
• Platform: ti.platforms.evm6614

• If you are using an evm6670 or evm6678, change the Platform field to match your EVM.

• The build Configuration for Tutorial 5B is set to "Release" (for best performance).

• To change this to Debug mode, right click on the project, select Build Configurations -> Set Active -> Debug.

• To build the project, right click on the project and select Build Project.

Running the Tutorial Project

• Launch a debug session for your target device:

• group the first 4 C66XX CPUs on the device by multi-selecting them in the Debug View, right clicking and selecting Group Cores from the context menu
• select the group node that the cores are grouped under, and connect to the group
• select the first core in the group and

• do a system reset (Run / Reset / System Reset)
• run the Global Default Initialization GEL script for the EVM

• For the C6614: Scripts / EVMTCI6614LXE MENU / Global_Default_Setup
• For the C6670: Scripts / LC_EVM_C6670_Functions / Global_Default_Setup

• select the group node and load the project .out file. The cores should all run and halt at main.
• run all the cores
