Quick Start Guide
Software Development Kit
(SDK): U-Boot and Linux
The u-boot and Linux package is referred
to as the WUSDK (SDK for short). RDBs
come with some version of u-boot burned
into the board’s flash memory. All of the
documentation for the SDK is provided
with each SDK release. The document for
getting started with u-boot and Linux (the
SDK) is also included:
•
Using BSC9131RDB—A Step By Step
Guide.doc
Download the current WUSDK from the
software tab on the BSC9131RDB web
page and follow the step-by-step guide
to get the SDK working on your board.
This guide also provides the basic dip
switch settings for the RDB in order to
verify various functionalities, instructions
on how to update u-boot and Linux
on the board and basic instructions for
using various features. In addition to the
SDK’s getting started document, there
is also a general reference manual for
further specifics related to the SDK, titled
BSC913x_BSP_User_Guide.pdf
.
Inter-Processor Communication
(IPC)
Once your RDB is up and running with
the SDK, the next steps involve running
code to prove that both the e500 and the
DSP cores are working together. The most
basic demo for this is the IPC demo. This
demo shows the e500 and SC3850 cores
sending messages to each other via the
terminal screen. This is covered in the SDK
documentation referenced in the previous
section.
