Dear community,

Does the Segger J-Link emulator plugin in CCS v6 support Cortex-R5 (RM57Lx)? After pressing <F11>,

In the console: Segger J-Link Emulator_0/CortexR5 :

Target must be connected before loading program. (with 5 other replies)

    Honig,

    It looks like you are using the CCS free license. Unless you want to purchase the full license you should use the XDS100v2 emulator that is built into your eval kit.

    But before purchasing a full CCS license just to use the J-LINK EDU - I would confirm that it supported. I don't know the answer to this question.

    You can post the question about that to the CCS forum, or ask Segger. There was experimental support in CCSv5 but I am not sure what happened to this.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for the quick reply! Yes, I use the CCSv6.1 free license, a full license is a bit expensive for me. What IDE would you recommend me to use, which supports both Hercules RM57Lx and J-Link emulator?

    Honig,

    If you want to use the J-Link then you probably should at the moment look at IAR or Atollic or another IDE...

    If you want to use CCS - I'd recommend using the XDS100 class emulator with CCS. If you have an HDK it includes an XDS100v2. If you buy a launchpad it will include an XDS110. Either will work with the free CCS license.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for the advice! I am starting learning the IAR EWARM. The KEIL MDK is another very well-known IDE for ARM. But the official website of the latest version of KEIL MDK doesn't mention the support to ARM Cortex-R5 (TI RM57Lx).

    Do you know whether KEIL supports Cortex-R5?

    Honig,

    No problem.

    It's probably better if you direct this question to Keil. I think Cortex R is supported in the MDK but at one time it was recommended to use DS-5 instead of the MDK with Cortex R. But I just looked at their website and the website seems to put Cortex R in the MDK product again, where DS-5 seems focused on Cortex A.

    So being from TI - I'm biased to CCS because it's what I know best so of course I'd recommend it. And one very nice thing is if you learn this IDE, it will open doors to very powerful processors like the C2000 and C6000 - you won't be limited to just the ARM CPUs.
