CCS/TMS320F28335: What target devices are compatible with the Hardware Trace Analyzer?

CCS/TMS320F28335: Are there any hardware core trace devices that work with the TMS320F28335?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Our team is looking to write and debug C code (using CCS) on a TMS320F28335 and were wondering what our core trace options were. We currently have a 14 pin JTAG header on the board with the chip and would like to be able to step through our code in CCS over the JTAG connection.

    Hi,

    I am a bit confused by what you call "core trace options".

    The F28x family of devices supports a full set of low-level debugging features such as step operations, run/halt, memory, register and C-variable inspection, full disassembly, breakpoints and watchpoints, etc. That is fully enabled by the 14 pin JTAG header and requires an external product called Debug Probe.

    For the F28x, the recommended probes are: TMDSEMU110-U and TMDSEMU200-U.

    Another definition of "core trace" is what is mentioned in this reference: a complete history of the executed code prior to a break event (a breakpoint, a manual halt). This feature is not supported in the F28x family of devices. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    By core trace options, I meant probes that would work with your later definition of core trace, which isn't supported.

    The debug probes you mentioned appear to allow us to get most of what we're looking for (following C code execution in CCS over JTAG). Thank you!
