This page mainly summarizes solutions to some main problems during the development of Embest Devkit8000. Hope it would give you some help.

Hardware problem

If you had erased NAND flash, how to boot the system?

Answer: If the Nand Flash has been erased, user can boot the system through SD card. OMAP35x series chips can support booting x-loader from SD card. User can refer to Devkit8000 user manual to update image from SD card.

How to use USB OTG as Host or Device?

If using USB OTG interface as USB Host, please follow below steps: 1) Connect Hub power to USB Hub; 2) Connect USB OTG cable to Devkit8000 board; 3) Power on and get into system; 4) Plug in USB Hub to USB OTG through cable; 5) Insert USB mouse or keypad to USB Hub.

How to boot from SD card?

Answer:Press BOOT key and power on, the system will boot from SD card first and then boot from Nand flash.

How to debug DSP and ARM on Devkit8000?

Answer: We suggest two ways:
1. Connect with JTAG Emulator
Embest provide XDS100v2 and TDS560 emulators which can be used for TI's C2000, C5000, C6000 chips and OMAP, DaVinci, ARM7 and ARM9 microprocessors.

2. Dubug in software system
User can refer to the DEMO-DVSDK in product CD. The DVSDK has provided complete video encoding and decoding drivers, user only needs to dubug the DSP algorithms. Please refer to TI's website for details: http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/linuxdvsdk-omap3530.html

What's the RTC battery model can be used for Devkit8000?

The DevKit8000 board is not delivered with RTC battery, user needs to prepare it themselves. The battery model is CR1220.
