CCS for C6201, C6455 & USB ?

Hi,

We currently use CCS 3.3 to develop code for our C6201 and C6455 based boards using genuine XDS560 PCI and XDS510 ISA (remember them!) emulators. We've also got several Chinese knock off USB 510 type emulators that can sometimes be persuaded to work with the C6201, but I've never got them to work with the C6455.

We've recently bought a genuine Spectrum Digital XDS100V2, and downloaded and installed CCS 6. I've got that working on the C6455, but there doesn't seem to be any support for C6201. So my questions are:

1) What is the latest CCS that I can use to support C6201?

2) Is there a way to support both C6201 and C6455 using a USB type emulator - and if so what version of CCS and emulator do I need.

Cheers

Malcolm

  • Hi Malcom,

    CCSv6 can support C6201. The issue is that XDS100 does not support C62x. You can use the XDS560 PCI with your C6201 with CCSv6. But even with that setup, you need to build a custom configuration because the C6201 is not supported out of the box.

    More details on custom configs is documented here:

    Note that the example used in that link is a lot more complex that what you need for the C6201. I created a custom config for you which is for the XDS560 PCI w/6201 and attached it here.

    Thanks

  • Thanks, I'll try that.

    What about a USB solution though? At the moment I have to cart a full sized PC to customers sites to debug because I have to use a PC with a PCI slot (XDS560). I'd like to use a laptop and USB emulator. If XDS100 won't work on C6201, then will any of the other XDS USB type devices?
  • Any of the older XDS510 USB (Spectrum Digital XDS510USB, Blackhawk USB510, etc) and XDS560 USB based emulators (Blackhawk USB560-M, etc) will work too. The newer XDS200 and XDS560v2 will not.
