TI's TCS211 program supported 3 different Calypso silicon versions on their D-Sample and Leonardo boards: C05B (CHIPSET 8, DSP 33), early C035 (CHIPSET 10, DSP 34) and final C035 (CHIPSET 10, DSP 36). In FreeCalypso we generally work only with the last chipset (final C035), but we would like to support the two earlier ones as well, if possible. C05B has been partially exercised on the Mother's D-Sample board (non-functional Clara RF, no genuine tpudrv10.c source and too many unknowns), but the early C035 version with DSP 34 has not been tested at all yet. All 3 Calypso chip versions in question are footprint-compatible, i.e., they can all be populated onto the same PCB. Changing between C05 and C035 requires changing the VLRTC strapping on the Iota companion chip, thus not all boards can support Calypso C05 (the newer ones are C035 only), but one can always populate either early C035 (DSP 34) or final C035 (DSP 36) on the same PCB. TI's own D-Sample and Leonardo development boards have most certainly been made with all 3 Calypso silicon versions: D-Sample appears to support both C05 and C035 on the same PCB; the schematics we have for Leonardo show fixed VLRTC strapping for C035, but there also existed an earlier Leonardo version with Calypso C05B. Our own FCDEV3B also has fixed C035-only VLRTC strapping, our regular boards have final C035 chips on them, but we should be able to build some experimental boards with an early C035 variant (751774) for DSP 34 testing. In the case of target boards that can have different Calypso chip versions populated on them, we want to be able to target all of them without creating a configuration explosion. The implemented solution is that you can pass a target argument to the ./configure.sh script of the following form: dsample-c05b dsample-dsp34 dsample-dsp36 leonardo-c05b leonardo-dsp34 leonardo-dsp36 fcdev3b-dsp34 Our configure.sh script recognizes the hyphen as indicating this construct; the word before the hyphen must be the conventional target name, and the word after the hyphen needs to be one of c05b, dsp34 or dsp36, corresponding to the three supported Calypso silicon versions.
