TMS320VC5509A DSK Driver Problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320VC5509A

I'm having trouble installing the driver for this DSK.  I've gotten to step 7 of the "Code Composer Studio Quick Start Guide":

"Follow the instructions on the screens and let Windows find the USB driver files 'dsk5510.inf' and 'sdusb2em.sys' on the DSK CD-ROM."

I'm using a Windows 7 computer (Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit).  When I go to the Device Manager, I see "TMS320C5510 DSK" listed under "Other Devices", but it has the yellow "!" icon indicating a problem with the driver.  If I use "Update Driver Software..." and browse to the CD that contains the driver files, Windows just ignores it and gives this error:

"Windows was unable to install your TMS320C5510 DSK.  Windows could not find driver software for your device."

I know the files are on the CD.  I tried copying them to the desktop and directing the Device Manager to look there, but that didn't work, either.  Is there a different driver for Windows 7 I should be using?

    Please confirm your error message indicates C5510 but your HW is C5509A DSK. Second, which version of CCS are you using? And third, have your tried running the examples downloadable via Spectrum Digital's support site under "Target Content v1"?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response.  On your questions:

    1.  I'm using a TMS320VC5509A DSK board, but the Windows hardware manager shows TMS320C5510 DSK.  I don't think this is a problem, though, because the instructions in the "Code Composer Studio Quick Start Guide" state:

    "7.  Follow the instructions on the screens and let Windows find the USB driver files 'dsk5510.inf' and 'sdusb2em.sys' on the DSK CD-ROM.  On XP systems Windows will find the drivers automatically.  The DK5510 and DSK5509A share the same USB emulation controller and emulation drivers.  So when Windows detects new hardware it will show up as a DSK5510"

    2.  I'm using the CCS that was provided with the 5509A DSK, which is version 3.1

    3.  No, I haven't tried the examples that are part of "Target Content v1"  I tried using the Spectrum Digital 5509A DSK Diagnostics Utility v3.1 to see if I can communicate with the board, but this fails (I followed the steps in the "Testing Your Connection" section in the Quick Start Guide).  I get "Can't connect to target" and "USB diagnostic fail" messages, which I assume are because I don't have the proper Windows drivers installed.  I took a look at the files that are in "Target Content v1" but I don't see driver files, or anything that looks like an installation program.  

    Thanks for the help,

    Matt

    CCS3.1 is a bit too old. I am using CCS5.5.0.00077 and there is a pre-defined "DSK5509A" in Target Configuration. Here is the CCSv5 download site:

    CCSv5.5 Getting Started guide:

    Hope this help.

    Regards.

    Thanks for the advice.  I downloaded and installed CCSv5.5, and now the DSK board is correctly recognized by Windows 7.  In the Windows Device Manager, it's listed under "SD USB Based Debug Tools" as "Spectrum Digital TMS320C5510 DSK".

    In Code Composer, I can select DSK5509A as the device when I create a new project, so that looks good.  

    My next step is to run the DSK examples, so I'll be doing the same thing described in this thread:

    http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/c5000/f/109/t/364836.aspx

    Is there any plan to update the materials provided with the DSK so they work with more recent versions of Code Composer?

    Glad it works. I flagged management about the outdated materials.
