Madhvi,
You can create a device module in a package of your choice (say 'ti.leo'). 
Then in your platform specification file you can set the 'catalogName' 
attribute of the 'xdc.platform.IExeContext.Cpu' parameter to the name of 
this package. Ensure that your package ('ti.leo') is on the package path.

All TI supported devices that require XDCtools will be added to 
'ti.catalog' package. The point to be made here is that you need not be 
blocked until this support is provided in an official release of XDCtools. 
You can very easily create a device module in a package of your choice and 
a platform package referring the device. 

Thanks
