Questions about ti-syslink-module

Questions about ti-syslink-module

[Rainer Koenig]

Hi there,

still playing around with my dm814x-evm board and at least now I
successfully builded a systemd-gnome-image that runs if you add syslink
from the TI EZSDK 5.02 and some firmware files. I tried to build those
things, so I include ti-syslink-module in my build, and I also made a
recipe to copy the firmware binaries to the /usr/share/ti/... direcotries.

The problem is, that this image crashes as soon as I load the vpss
firmware.

At the moment I wonder if syslink is the cause of the problem. Looking
at the recipe in meta-ti I see that it builds a version 2_00_00_78, but
the EZSDK 5.02 uses 2_00_00_80.

The other thing that puzzles me is that my kernel config has
CONFIG_Sys_Link=y
CONFIG_SYSLINK_MULTIPROC=y
CONFIG_SYSLINK_NOTIFY=y

What part of syslink is that which is already in the kernel sources?

At the moment it looks all confusing and I guess that the crashes come
from version mixing, but I'm not sure.

Best regards
Rainer

Unfortunately we haven't merged syslink support for dm81xx to meta-ti yet.  This is very likely the culprit.
