[meta-ti] TI SysLink for am180-evm target

[Pow, Christopher (SWCOE)]

Denys,

Thanks for the reply.  I have a TI OMAP L138 devkit [with a touch screen].  The TI SDK that came with it indicates it is a Davinci DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18xx EVM.  When I took a look at the machines available in meta-ti, I saw am180x-evm so I picked that one.  It didn't seem right to pick omap3 or omap5.  The Yocto am180x-evm image I built does run on the devkit.  

The TI SDK comes with DSP/Link.  I have been asked to change that to SysLink.  I noticed that the latest available SysLink package indicates support for OMAPL1XX targets.

Are OMAP-L138 devices supported in meta-ti?  My interpretation from a recent conversation [on IRC] was that they were, with the am180x-evm target.  I am only interested [at the moment] in building and installing the ARM-side of the SysLink package.  Someone else is doing the DSP work.

Sorry for the confusion.  I thought I had all my pieces lined up but it seems that there's still much for me to learn!  Thanks again for your help in this!

Well, strictly speaking none of AMx devices have DSPs in them. That would require DMx devices, which are not currently supported in meta-ti.
