EVM 6201 was back in the day when EVM boards allowed host access to HPI, so my guess is the "hostio1" folder is not
RTDX. After DSK 6711, TI starting bring HPI access out to a daughtercard header but not visible to the host.

Ya I will do that. I was hoping to avoid adding RTDX libraries on the DSP side, but maybe it's the only way. Thanks.
