Hello,

I am trying to run a DSP only application on the DM8168 EVM. Is it possible to configure the board for the Emulation boot, to be able to connect to the DSP core directly?

    Igor,

    Please follow the following steps to connect to the DSP on DM8168 EVM.

    1. After starting CCSv4 or CCSv5, create new target configuration. Select XDS510USB/XDS560USB emulator and device as TI816X

    2.Launch debug session with this configuration. Once you see the emulator connection. You can connect to the cortex-A8.

    3.Then go to menu option Tools->Gel File and right click on the gel files window and load the gel file, you will find here

    Note: This GEL file is for a DDR3 EVM. Inorder to use this on the DDR2 EVM set the DDR2 Macro at the Top of the Gel file to 1 and DDR3 Macro to 0. 

    4.Then go to  Menu options Scripts ->TI816X CPU BRINGUPS,and select c674x

    5.Once you see the cortex A8 output on console that indicates users can connect to c674x, right click on C674x in the debug window and select connect to target to connect to the DSP.

    6. Load your code on the DSP and then run.

    Let us know if this helps

    Regards,
