OMAP-L138 Development System

  • OMAP-L138 processor
  • Code Composer Studio™ IDE version 4
  • Use of the OMAP-L138 eXperimenter
  • Programming examples

This chapter gives an overview of the OMAP-L138 processor and Logic PD's Zoom OMAP-L138 eXperimenter development system. It describes how to install and start using version 4 of Texas Instruments (TI) Code Composer Studio integrated devel-opment environment (IDE). Two example programs that demonstrate hardware and software features of the eXperimenter board and of the Code Composer Studio IDE are presented. It is recommended strongly that you review these examples before proceeding to subsequent chapters.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Logic PD Zoom OMAP-L138 eXperimenter kit is a low-cost development platform for the Texas Instruments OMAP-L138 processor. This device is a dual-core system on a chip comprising an ARM926EJ-S general-purpose processor (GPP) and a TMS320C6748 digital signal processor. In addition, a number of peripherals and interfaces are built into the OMAP-L138 as shown in Figure 1.1.

The eXperimenter makes a significant number of the OMAP-L138 interfaces available to the user, as shown in Figure 1.2. This book is concerned with the development of real-time digital signal processing (DSP) applications and therefore makes use of the DSP (C6748) side of the device and of the TLC320AIC3106 (AIC3106) analog interface circuit (codec) connected to the OMAP-L138's multichannel audio serial port (McASP). The ARM side of the device ...
