Frank, What am I missing here? Sounds like you have some experience, so could you answer a couple of questions.

First I should clarify a couple of things just in case I did not communicate them correctly.

The target is a TI TMS320C6204. It is a DSP from TI using a C64 core. It is not one of the OMAPs with an embedded ARM. The normal GCC compiler set does not appear to support the C6000 process, but I just found some documentation indicating that might not be true.

1. So I went to the ELDK page (DENX). According to the page, it only supports PowerPC. I am going to download it and check, but that is all I see. I did see that they have ARM, PPC, and MIPS directories, so it might be more than PPC. 2. So lets say it does support it, what toolchain should I be looking at? Version numbers would be nice.

In the end, embedded linix is going to be more than what I need. I am just trying to have a simple bootloader with the ability to edit memory, test functions, program flash, and load over a serial port. I don't even need networking capability.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks, Paul

Has anyone seen (or done) a port for the c6000 dsp family for Code Composer (TI compiler)?

Why would you want to do that under Windoze? it's easy enough to do with the ELDK (I'm doing it) and writing it to flash with flashwriter_nor.out...

I am not aware of a port of U-Boot to such a processor. We ported Python to the 320c671x once, but that's a diferent story :-)

Right: the ELDK is available for ARM, MIPS and PowerPC, but does not support TI DSPs.

As uasual, Wolfgang's right, I'm wrong. Got it confused with the DM6446...
