[FAQ] TMS320C6657: How to build and run the platform test on C6657 EVM ?

Part Number: TMS320C6657

Hi,

How to build and run the platform test on C6657 EVM ?

  • How to build and run the platform test on C6657 EVM ?

    Pre-requisite 

    1. Download and install "processor_sdk_rtos_c665x_6_03_00_106", ti-processor-sdk-rtos-c665x-evm-06.03.00.106-Windows-x86-Install.exe from PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C665x 06_03_00_106 - TI.com

    ( Please install the SDK in the recommended path: C:\ti\)

    2. Download and install CCS 9.3 , https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO/9.3.0.00012

    ( Please install in the recommended path: C:\ti\)

    3. Rebuild the PDK and SDK which in turn will build all the necessary CSL library components etc. Follow the steps given below.

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1048039/faq-processor-sdk-c665x-how-to-re-build-the-pdk-and-sdk-of-processor-sdk-c665x-6-3-for-c6657

    Step1: Check the Platform-test source code after installation

    a) Platform-test source code will become available once the "processor_sdk_rtos_c665x_6_03_00_106" package (above-step) is installed.

    b) "Platform-Lib" is a dependency for Platform-test.

    c) The location of source code of Platform-test and platform-lib is at 

    C:\ti\pdk_c665x_2_0_16\packages\ti\platform\evmc6657l\platform_test\src

    C:\ti\pdk_c665x_2_0_16\packages\ti\platform\evmc6657l\platform_lib\src

    Step 2: Import the "Platform test example" into CCS 9.3 and re-build

    Please follow the video attached and do the steps given below for ease of use.

    a) Import the "Platform-Lib" CCS project located at "C:\ti\pdk_c665x_2_0_16\packages\ti\platform\evmc6657l\platform_lib" into CCS and rebuild

    b) Import the "Platform-Lib" CCS project located at "C:\ti\pdk_c665x_2_0_16\packages\ti\platform\evmc6657l\platform_test" into CCS and rebuild

    Step 3: Run the "Platform test " on the C6657 EVM

            In your C6657 EVM - board ----> You should put the DIP Switch settings in "No boot mode"  to connect to the CCS.

            That is  ------> DIP SW3 : 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and DIP SW5 : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

    Please follow the video attached and do the steps given below for ease of use.

    1. Open CCS

    2. Launch the target configuration file for C6657 EVM. ( If new to this, Follow this FAQ

    4.  Load the platform_test_evmc6657l.out into core0 of C6657 

    5. Run and observe the output messages, as per the video below.
