Hi,

I don't know of anyone using the TI Optimizing Compiler.  I don't think a gcc compiler exists for the TI C6722 processor.  This is why we created the TCC67 compiler from TCC.

Code executes much faster using the (slow/expensive) TI Optimizing compiler.  But most User programs just make function calls to KFLOP's internal optimized routines so it doesn't make much difference.

Besides the Optimizing compiler what can speed up code a lot is placing it in Internal DSP RAM.  There is only 128KBytes of Internal RAM but it is really fast (single cycle and 256 bits wide).

I think you will need to make a .cmd file for the TI  Compile/Link to place the code in the right place.

I made an example.  See the attached Zip file (you will need to re-name it).  UnZip it as a directory TI_Compiler under the C Programs folder.  There is a Batch file and some linker files to compile an example to be run as Thread#2.

Unfortunately we don't have an easy way to import the symbols into the TI compiler from the KFLOP Binary the way we have for TCC67.  But if you only need to access a few functions in KFLOP you can hard code them in the linker file.

There is a procedure to follow included.  It is attached separately as well.

Check out the Video !

Regards
TK

Hi B, It should work fine connected to any of KFLOPs Outputs.  Regards TK On Apr 9, 2014, at 11:42 AM, Wcarrothers Yahoo <wcarrothers@...> wrote:   I've used this board in the past on my other parallel port Cnc.  But wanted to check if it looked ok to use connected to JP7 digital I/o pins for relay control Uses a uln2803 chip which is quite common for this type of thing.  Of not connected to jp7 then maybe another io either from the kflop direct of one available on the snap amps I'm using Didn't have to ask last time as with my kflop kanalog setup I just used the relay outputs http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1601.htm Thanks B On Apr 9, 2014, at 4:20 AM, Tom Kerekes <tk@...> wrote:   Hi, I don't know of anyone using the TI Optimizing Compiler.  I don't think a gcc compiler exists for the TI C6722 processor.  This is why we created the TCC67 compiler from TCC.
