I'm with you Azzy. What we want to do is very fundamental. So why don't these experts tell us how? I wrote an assembler (on another ARM platform), learned the instruction set, stacks, interrupts etc... for the first time, it took me 6 months. But baby, it rocks! Fast, stable & bypass mountains of dry meaningless documentation. Now, if i can only crack the sitara..... Like, what is wrong with these corporate engineers? Don't they want us to use their technology? All I want to do is boot up my binary.
let me know if you get somewhere. thx................dd On Saturday, November 2, 2013 8:21:26 AM UTC+2, azzythehillbilly mir wrote: > > Thanks Gerald. > > I have installed CCS .
