Loading Data from .dat File into C6000 DSP Memory

Muhammad Khan4

I am trying to load data from a .dat file into a global array in my CCSV6 program. Qureshi in his book Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000TM DSP (page 54) says to go to File|Data|Load to load the data, and then use the Memory Browser to verify the data transfer. However, I do not find File|Data in CCSV6. I do find Run|Load when I am in the Debug perspective, and there I find options for loading a program and for loading "symbols" (not sure what that means). But I still did not manage to load data from a file on the host computer into the target's memory. Help?

Note: My target is the TMDSEVM6657LS, and I am running CCSV6.1.2.
