Upgrading CCSv5 for use with Blackhawk USB200

Hi,

I am currently using CCS v5.1 (Full name = Version: 5.1.0.09000) with a blackhawk USB-2000 emulator and everything has been fine for the last 2 years.

However, the Blackhawk USB-2000 and been replaced by the USB-200 (yes they dropped a nought!)

My version of CCS (v5.1) doesnt have support for the USB-200.

Is it possible to add that support to my version of CCS, or do I have to upgrade to a newer version of CCS?


....In the case that I have to upgrade, can I transfer my license file? How do I do this? Is it a simple automatic upgrade or do I need to uninstall my current version and then install the new version?


...also I tried loading my CCS5.5 project into a colleagues PC with CCSv5.5 and the project would not load. What version of CCS would you recommend that I upgrade to that I can use my project file and also USB-200??


Thanks in advance!

    You need at least CCSv5.3. I would upgrade your CCS version to the latest CCSv5 version (5.5). Note that for the connection type, you would use the" Texas Instruments XDS2XX" option for all XDS200 based emulators, regardless of the vendor, since they all will use TI's drivers.

    You use the same license for for all v5 updates. There is nothing you need to do regarding licensing. You can run the Update Manager:
