CCS/TMDSLCDK6748: CCS8 to the TMDSLCDK6748 platform through the USB cable

Part Number: TMDSLCDK6748
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSEMU110-U, OMAPL138

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am a bigenner and i am using TMDSLCDK6748 platform.

I am trying to create a project with ccs8 and afterthat implement them in the platform. However i have a problem to connect the ccs to the platform, knowing that i am using the J3 (UART2) connection.

My Question is: Can i use the J3 connection to connect the ccs to the platform, and create projects, build them and implement them directly through the USB cable?

Thanks

  • The C6748 LCDK does not have an onboard debug probe. To program this board via CCS you need to have an external debug probe connected to it such as an XDS100 or XDS110 (TMDSEMU110-U).

  •  Hello,

    Thanks, but i remarked in your proposed link this NOTE.

    What is the others methods to program the C6748.

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    it seems that you have the list of emulators for your board,
    please, compare their features and based on your needs and budget select one.

    <<< What is the others methods to program the C6748.
    If your board/MCU supports bootloader you may try it, however this method do not offer emulation and debugging.
  • Nidhameddine,

    The XDS100v2 is the cheapest option. They can be purchased from a number of vendors (Spectrum Digital, Blackhawk, many others). I would expect the XDS110 to work with the C6748 version of the LCDK. It is not recommended for the OMAPL138 version as the ARM9 there introduces adaptive clocking. That said I have an XDS110 on my desk connected to the OMAPL138 LCDK and have loaded and run programs on both the ARM9 and the C674x cores.

    If you are going to use the OMAPL138 LCDK purchase an XDS100 as the cheapest option. XDS200 if you want better performance. I would start with the XDS100 as it is very cheap and then if you need to you can buy an XDS200 later.

    For the C6748 version you could start with the XDS110. However it is a little more money vs the XDS100.
