OK, now I have my Beaglebone AI, installed TI’s CCS, found a suitable compiler for the AI’s SoC in CCS, and want to start with a simple, bare-metal application to try things out.
So my question: what’s next? What is necessary to e.g. have a timer which lets one of the user-LEDs blink slowly? Are there any tutorials or examples available for this somewhere?
Thanks 
What is CCS?
Code Composer Studio needs to know which Core you are targeting you didnt say which one?
Modern IDE now make example code autogenerated its a template but there may be a project described in getting started bare metal please read quick start and CCS tutorial foe SOC for correct core
Do you have JTAG? the tutorials usually have a cookbook guide
Things get more difficult with no JTAG . Please google the E2E forum or browse all help requests under sm5729
Good Luck

When creating a new project I only can choose the SoC type, which is AM5728 in this case. According to the feedback I got from the E2E-forum at TI, this type is suitable and can be used for AM5729 too.
Nevertheless: there are no example projects I could use to have ap eek into…
