CCS/TMDSDSK6713: What version of CCS supports DSP Starter Kit TMDSDSK6713?

Part Number: TMDSDSK6713
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am using the TMDSDSK6713 DSP starter Kit.  I installed CCS v7.4 but I don't see the TMDSDSK6713 DSP starter Kit in the Resource Explorer list.  Does CCS v7.4 support this starter kit?  If not, what is the most recent version of CCS needed for the TMDSDSK6713?

Thank you,

Keith

  • Keith,

    CCSv7.x fully supports TMS320C6713 devices, but their device support projects and SDKs are available on downloads directly from both TI and Spectrum Digital (the board manufacturer).

    For example, the Board Support Library (BSL) and code examples that exercise the various peripherals of the board are available from Spectrum Digital at:
    c6000.spectrumdigital.com/.../

    The device page contains a section that has several signal processing libraries available for download.
    www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware

    In order to help with the projects of the libraries above, the page below contains information on how to migrate these projects to a newer version of CCS:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../C6713DSK_in_CCSv5

    In this particular case, to save you some time in trying to make the older compiler and DSP/BIOS or SYSBIOS versions work on v7, I would strongly advise you to first install CCSv5.5 as indicated in the previous reference and get familiar with the environment. After that I would install a newer version of CCS (v6.2 or v7.4) in a separate directory (multiple CCS versions can coexist in the same PC) and start migrating the projects. That way you can lay a good foundation to get a quicker and more successful build.

    Since this is a very popular board, there are also many references around the internet with labs, code, etc.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
