Can the PADK-professional audio developement kit be Debugged through USB?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6727

I've been loading programs onto the PADK by:

1) Compile the project in Code Composer Studio v3.3 with the target configuration set to the c672x simulator

2) Use the command prompt to run the command (Provided with the PADK) "makerom.exe loader.out <programName>.out" to make a ROM called 'FLASH_<programName>.out'

3) Loading the ROM onto the PADK using the USBLoader program that was also included with the PADK software.

Is there a way to do this all with Code Composer? How do I configure code composer to connect to the PADK through the USB so I can load and debug programs with Code Composer?

You need an emulator in order to do it directly through CCS.

Why doesn't the PADK TMS320C6727 have an embedded JTAG Emulator? Is there another program I can use to debug my DSP applications though the USB on the PADK?

No, this is one of the few EVMs that need an external emulator.

No. Debug is done through CCS via some sort of emulation connection. Because the PADK does not include any on-board emulation an external emulator is required. You asked before why the PADK does not include on-board emulation but I can only guess as to why (it's Lyrtech's design).

Just to give a little more background info... In the past Spectrum Digital has generally designed most of our DSKs/EVMs. However, the on-board emulation was their IP not TI's. Lyrtech did not have this IP to put on-board emulation on the PADK and since they don't make emulators that would not be an easy endeavor.

Since this time TI has realized that we need a solution that TI owns to enable companies making our development boards to have on-board emulation. That effort spawned our XDS100 emulators and a related product that our partners making eval boards can put on the boards.

So going forward I expect all eval boards will most likely have on-board emulation. From past experience the ones I know of that do NOT have on-board emulation are the 5502 EVM, DM648 EVM, 6727 PADK.

So, do you know, is it (or will it be) possible to use Lyrtech PADK with XDS100 JTAG emulator instead of XDS510/560?

Hi Marcin,

C6727B is not one of the platforms supported and it is not in the roadmap to be supported by XDS100.
