6713DSK Diagnostics Fails

Hi,

I have Windows 7 service pack 1 and CCS 6.0.0.00190 

I'm attempting to get a program I have written in C to run on the TMS320C6713 DSK. I have read through this guide: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6713DSK_in_CCSv5

When I try to do the Prerequisite steps, the 6713DSK Diagnostics fails with this error.

Starting diagnostic test suite.
--> Running USB diagnostics.
Can't connect to target.

*** Plug in power and USB cable.
*** Can't run if Code Composer or Diagnostic already running.

Result> USB diagnostic fail
Stopping diagnostic suite.

It works on another computer that is running XP, but CCS v6 will not run on that machine. My question is does the Diagnostic executable have to pass the tests for the emulation to work correctly, or may I simply proceed to use the board normally with CCS?

    The utility may need to be run with admin privileges due to Windows 7's UAC (Windows XP does not have it). You would need to launch an elevated command prompt to run it.

    You can also try the built-in CCS "Test Connection" button, which will perform a basic JTAG connectivity test. Check section 4.2 of the page below:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debugging_JTAG_Connectivity_Problems

    The success of the low-level connectivity tests are fundamental for CCS to be able to connect to the board. However, they are not blocking for starting to write your code - i.e., working with the projects.

    Hope this helps,

    Thank you for the response!

    Can I just use the "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator" connection? When I click on this, it won't let me run the test connection. However, I went ahead and imported the POST example and it appeared to work correctly on the DSK i.e. LEDs were blinking like they should have. 

    This should mean that CCS is correctly interfacing with the board right? So I should be clear to go ahead and start using my own code?

    Hi,

    Yes, you are correct. I forgot that some of the older emulators do not have the Test Connection functionality enabled.
