Cortex-R5 BSP Development

TI's am64xx and am24xx CPUs include Cortex-R5 cores that can be used for real-time operating systems (RTOS) and real-time applications. We provide a customized FreeRTOS BSP for the Cortex-R5 cores which implements the basic functionality and provides a simple command line interface.

Requirements and Installation on Windows

To flash, customize and build the BSP is done via the SysConfig Tool and the Code Composer Studio from TI. In addition, the SDK for the AM64xx is required.

Access to tools

A TI account might be required to access the downloads of the tools and SDK.

Warning

Code Composer Studio should be installed at last, so that the paths of the SDK and the SysConfig tool are automatically detected.

SDK Installation

The SDK is available as a Windows setup for download on the TI site:
MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM64X

1. Download SDK installer from TI Website
2. Run the executable to start the installation
3. Follow the installer instructions to install the SDK

Installation paths

We recommend using the default path C:\ti for the installation of the tools

SysConfig Tool Installation

The SysConfig tool is available as a Windows setup for download on the TI site:
SYSCONFIG

1. Download SysConfig installer from TI Website
2. Run the executable to start the installation
3. Follow the installer instructions to install the SysConfig Tool

Code Composer Studio IDE Installation

The Code Composer Studio IDE (CCS) is available as a Windows setup for download on the TI site:
Code Composer Studio

1. Download the CCS installer from TI Website
2. Run the ccs_setup executable to start the installation
3. Choose “Custom Installation” to save disk space and select the following components:

Sitara AM3x, AM4x, AM5x and AM6x MCUs
Sitara AM2x MCUs
ㅤAlternatively “Full installation” can be selected
4. Select SEGGER J-Link Debugger
5. Follow the installer instructions to install the Code Composer Studio IDE

Import BSP-Project

We recommend cloning and working via git. This provides a clean way to track changes.

1. Start the CCS and select your Workspace. This path will contain the project with the BSP sources.
2. Click on File > Import and select Projects from Git BILD!
3. Select Clone URI and enter the following repository URI from our GitHub: 

 https://github.com/tq-systems/TQMaX4XxL.SW.MCU.BSP \\

BILD!
4. Select the main Branch and hit next
