Install CodeSourcery
The AM3517 EVM Development Kit includes a DVD with an evaluation version of
CodeSourcery’s Sourcery G++ Professional Edition. The Professional Edition is designed for
enterprise software development and includes the GNU Toolchain, the Eclipse IDE, and other
tools to build software. More information is available on CodeSourcery’s website
http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp.
For interaction with the BSL and the instructions within this User Manual, all that is required is a
command-line tool. CodeSourcery provides a free, command-line only Lite Edition of Sourcery
G++; we will use the Lite version in these instructions.
1. Download the recommended release of “Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI” from

3. Read the BSL_ReadMe.txt file for documentation on the BSL.
Board Support Library (BSL) Sample Programs
The BSL sample programs are included to test the different features of the development kit and
diagnose any potential problems. In order to run these tests, you first have to connect your
development kit to a PC.
Connect Development Kit to PC
Connect the development kit to your PC by using the provided serial cable and following the
instructions in the QuickStart Guide or by using a USB A to B cable and following the instructions
in Section 6 of this document.
Run the Test Menu
As an example, we will run the test menu that works for both development kit types. In order to
run a test program, you will have to select the program, compile (or build) the program, and then
load the compiled program. The following steps will walk you through that process.
1. Open a command prompt on your development PC and navigate to the .\tests\test_menu\cs
2. Compile the program by typing “cs-make” at the command prompt.
3. This will create a “test_menu.raw” file in that same folder.
4. U-Boot is installed in NAND flash on the SOM and will be used to load the program.
5. Open Tera Term and select the serial COM port connected to your development kit.
6. Power on the development kit.
