MCU+ SDK Host Setup
-------------------

This guide will assist you in setting up your Host Environment for the development of applications targeting the MCU co-processors of the AM62AX application processor.

* Work through the "Download and Install Additional SDK Tools" section at the following link. **You do not need to download the SDK itself, you will just need the Additional SDK Tools**

.. note::
    It is a good idea to install all the tools to the ~/ti/ directory.

* Download and install CCS using the instructions at the link below.

.. note::
    Install CCS in the same directory you installed the other tools.

https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM62AX/09_01_00_39/exports/docs/api_guide_am62ax/CCS_SETUP_PAGE.html

You do not need to go through the "Create Target Configuration" section, just make sure that CCS is installed.

* Now install the PHYTEC fork of the MCU+ SDK. In the same directory that you installed CCS and the MCU+ SDK tools, run the following command:

.. code-block:: console
    :substitutions:

    |host-prompt| git clone -b mcu_plus_sdk_am62ax_09_01_00_39 git@github.com:phytec/mcu-plus-sdk.git

This will clone the AM62Ax MCU+ SDK to your local machine. Here you will find the PHYTEC example program at "mcu-plus-sdk/examples/drivers/gpio/gpio_led_blink/phyboard-lyra-am62ax". This example contains changes to the example.syscfg and linker.cmd files that allows it to run on the phyCORE-AM62Ax SOM. You can use this as an example to create your own MCU co-processor project.
