1. Introduction

2. Installation of ti’s AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01

Package

3. Installation of CCS tool

3.1. Installation CCS tool

4. Building Driver for Beagle Bone Black

4.1. Building Drivers for Debug Mode

 Open CCS tool and select the workspace
 Import the drivers, platform, system, utils projects from the staterware installation package.
In this case the path is C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\build\armv7a\cgt_ccs
• You will see similar tab as below fig with imported projects list [drivers, platform, system, utils].

Build the projects [drivers, platform, system, utils] with build button as shown in below.
4.2. Building Drives for Release Mode
5. Building Application

5.1. USB Mass Storage Class – Host Mode

6. Building Custom Application

6.1. New project Creation

 File -> New -> CCS Project

 Select Target as AM33x – Cortex A8 and AM3358

o Note : If BBB is built with AM3359, select as AM3359
 Select TI v20.2.5.LTS Compiler Version
 Project templates and examples look like as follows,

 After creation of project, Project Explorer looks like,

6.2. Linker Command Information

6.3. Build Settings

6.3.1. Builder Setting

 Go to Builder tab from Build option as shown below
 Deselect Use default build command
 Use the Build Command as:
${CCS_UTILS_DIR}/bin/gmake -k -j ${NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS} -s
6.3.2. Post Build Setting
 Go to Setps tab from Build option as shown below

 Change the Post-build Steps as follows,

"${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat" "${Project_Path}/${ConfigName}/$
{ProjName}.out" "${Project_Path}/${ConfigName}/${ProjName}.bin"
"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd.exe" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex.exe" "$
{CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe" &
"C:/ti/AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01/tools/ti_image/tiimage.exe" "0x80000000" "NONE" "$
{Project_Path}/${ConfigName}/${ProjName}_ti.bin"

Assume my Project Path is C:/Users/Chakrapani/ti/workspace_ccs/HelloWorld, replace $

{Project_Path} this C:/Users/Chakrapani/ti/workspace_ccs/HelloWorld

After replacing look like this:

"${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat"
"C:/Users/Chakrapani/ti/workspace_ccs/HelloWorld/${ConfigName}/${ProjName}.out"
"C:/Users/Chakrapani/ti/workspace_ccs/HelloWorld/${ConfigName}/${ProjNa

me}.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd.exe" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex.exe" "$

{CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe" &
"C:/ti/AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01/tools/ti_image/tiimage.exe" "0x80000000" "NONE"
"C:/Users/Chakrapani/ti/workspace_ccs/HelloWorld/${ConfigName}/${ProjName}_ti.bin"

6.3.3. Output File Specification

 Select basic option from,
o Build->Arm Linker->Basic Option
6.3.4. Adding driver, system, platform and utils
libraries
 Select basic option from,
o Build->Arm Linker->File Search Path and it is as,
  Add following file in case of debug mode,
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\drivers\Debug\drivers.lib
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\system_config\Debug\system.lib
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\beaglebone\platform\Debug\platform.lib
o

 Add following file in case release mode

Release
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\drivers\Release\drivers.lib
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\system_config\Release\system.lib
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\beaglebone\platform\Release\platform.lib
o C:\ti\AM335X_StarterWare_02_00_01_01\binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\utils\Release\utils.lib

After adding the library file look as follows,

  Apply and Close

6.4. Build Project / Rebuild

 Build the project using build option as follow
 After successful build, output files

HelloWorld.out and HelloWorld.bin are generated in the project folder.

This the file need to store in to boot device.
