TMS320F28388D: How to debug loading code of multiple cores simultaneously

Yaroslav Mudritsky

Part Number: TMS320F28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, C2000WARE

Hello,

I've CPU1 code, CPU2 code and CM code, so there's 3 projects in the same workspace. Actually when I start a debug session I must load CPU1 code, then connect to CPU2, load CPU2 code, than connect to CM etc..

Is there a way to do this in a single step? Since I've a system that works only when all this parts are correctly loaded, I'd looking for something like associate each CPU to it's project and when I debug would be much faster to automatically connect debugger to all CPUs and CM an autoload related code/project.

Hello Yaroslav,

I don't believe there is any way to start a debug session on multiple cores simultaneously, this is a limitation with CCS. There are ways to ease the code development process, but as far as debugging the device, the cores need to be connected to separately.

Best regards,

Omer Amir

What kind of ease of code development?

You can use SysConfig to create a set of multi-core projects that are linked together and allow you to configure the device/peripherals before executing your runtime application code. An empty template example is included at C2000Ware_5_00_00_00\driverlib\f2838x\examples\c28x_dual\empty_projects. In case you're new to SysConfig, I've also attached some introductory info below.
