v01.01.07.x

Platforms supported

• AM572 EVM
• 66AK2H EVM
• 66AK2L EVM
• 66AK2E EVM

Release Notes

• Added the following extentions OpenCL C builtin functions.

  int      __cache_l2_32k(void);
  int      __cache_l2_64k(void);
  
  void*    __scratch_l2_start(void);
  uint32_t __scratch_l2_size(void);
  

• Modified the following functions to return an int rather than void. They will return 1 on success and 0 on failure. Calls that will shrink the cache size will always succeed. Calls that increase the cache size may fail if the delta amount of memory dedicated to cache is not available based on other uses of L2 scrathpad memory.

  int      __cache_l1d_none  (void);
  int      __cache_l1d_all   (void);
  int      __cache_l1d_4k    (void);
  int      __cache_l1d_8k    (void);
  int      __cache_l1d_16k   (void);
  int      __cache_l2_none   (void);
  int      __cache_l2_32k    (void);
  int      __cache_l2_64k    (void);
  int      __cache_l2_128k   (void);
  int      __cache_l2_256k   (void);
  int      __cache_l2_512k   (void);
  

• These list of supported C6X intrinsics has been greatly expanded. See C66x standard C compiler intrinsic functions for the complete list.

• The OpenCL C builtin function rhadd has been optimized for ucharn and shortn data types.

• Changed behavior of local buffers defined in OpenCL C kernel functions to conform to the OpenCL spec. These buffers will now only reserve L2 memory for the duration of the kernel. Previously, they reserved space in L2 from OpenCL C program load to program unload. Any code that may have been written to take advantage of this persistent memory, will now be incorrect, as the contents of that L2 memory is not guaranteed to persist beyond the current kernel execution.

• Any standard C code that is linked with OpenCL C code and also contains object definitions with the __attribute__((section(“.mem_l2”))) will still reserve memory for those object from OpenCL program load to OpenCL program unload. However, the contents of that memory is not guaranteed to persist between kernels calls. Additionally, any initialization data for those object will be ignored
