CSS 5.2, please help with the beginnig

Jarek:

One place to start is http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C2000

Scroll down and look at the archived workshops - you will find one specific to the F2812.

Also, if you can install ControlSuite, it also contains F2812 starter code.

Do you have a particular platform you are working with? (TI kit, or specific target...)

Todd,

I have a kit and DSP but in the lab. I would like to just write a code and compile it, to make sure that it's ok without connecting my laptop and v5.2 to kit with physical DSP. Is there a possibility to do it in my way ?? just write and compile to check if it's ok

regards,

Jarek

Jarek:

Yes, you can. When you open CCS5, go to View--> Target Configurations

Highlight "User Defined" and right-click. Then select New Configuration. A new window will pop up.

Usually, I pick a name like F28x_sim.ccxml - Remember to Keep the .ccxml

You can then pick "Texas Instruments Simulator" from the list of available emulators.

Remember, this will NOT simulate any of the peripherals, only the core. Even though "F283x CPU Cycle Accurate Simulator" was the only choice, I took it, and saved away the configuration.

Next, I highlighted the configuration in the Target Configurations, right-clicked again and highlighted "Link File to Project" - then selected my project.

Now, when I build and load, it will pick the simulator.

For some test code, I typed in

void main(void)

{

    int test=1;

    while(1)

    {

          if (test == 1)

        {

               asm(" nop");

         }

    }

}

When I loaded and ran, I was able to see the simulator in action, and yes, I did get to the NOP.  Hopefully, that helps.
