The boot loader document for C5515/14/05/04 (sprabd7.pdf) mentions a boot image burning utility that runs on the DSP using an emulator and CCS. It shows a screen shot of a version of CCS, I'm not familiar with (Figure 1 in section 3.4). Does CCSv5 come with this utility and if so where can I find it?
It is a .out file that can be run on CCS. You can download it via:

Hi Steve
Thanks for the answer. I can find no Target menu like the screenshots show. With ccsv5 I've found the following works, up to the point CIO asks for a file name:
View Target Configurations Projects right click correct .ccxml for the board Launch Selected Configuration right click Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM eZdsp onboard USB emulator etc. Connect Target Run Load Load Program (first time) browse to programmer_C5515_eZdsp.out OK Resume
After that I haven't tried yet, I haven't created my .bin yet. I'm in the early stages of preparing a boot loader for proprietary hardware.
Anyway am I on the right track here with ccsv5? I assume the target menu was an earlier rev of ccs, like 3 or 4, I have essentially no experience with them. Is that correct?
Secondly I'm using a 5509A DSK, until I get proprietary hardware which will be 5504 based. Does the same programmer work for all, assuming I have a working .ccxml and .gel script?
John,
The programmer is for C5515 EVM. You should get a bundle of stuff from Spectrum Digital's C5515 eZDSP site:
http://support.spectrumdigital.com/boards/usbstk5515/reva/
All of these programmers targets their board's peripherals components. I would also recommend to stay with CCS4 as in Spectrum Digital's site.
