This section describes how to install and the GR716-BOARD [RD2] and expansion boards on the GR-CPCI-GR716-DEV board. The GR716-CPCI-DEV board provides two sites with two 2x32 pin headers to allow the board to function as a carrier board for GR716-BOARD and Expansion Boards.
Bare C Cross-Compiler System is a toolchain to compile bare C or C++ applications directly on top of the processor without the servises provided by an operating system Frontgrade Gaisler also provides a set of debug tools. The GR716 platform is supported by the following: GRMON Used to run and debug applications on GR716-BOARD hardware.
It is recommended to use the GRMON command line option -baud 230400 to increase the AHBUART debug link speed. Frontgrade Gaisler AB GR716-CPCI-DEV-QSG Kungsgatan 12 | SE-411 19 Goteborg | Sweden Oct 2023, Version 1.1 +46 31 7758650 | frontgrade.com/gaisler...
Clocks must be enabled for all cores that LEON software or GRMON3 will be using. The grcg command is described in [RD4]. Frontgrade Gaisler AB GR716-CPCI-DEV-QSG Kungsgatan 12 | SE-411 19 Goteborg | Sweden Oct 2023, Version 1.1 +46 31 7758650 | frontgrade.com/gaisler...
