Getting started with EVMc6678 issue...

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678

I'm just a beginner. I bought an EVMC6678L. Hyperterminal fetch me the IP address as seen from the quick start guide. But the webpage was not shown by the browser saying the page cannot be displayed. What might be the problem? 

  • Were you able to ping the ip address. Seems like a connectivity issue.

     

    Thanks,

    Arun.

  • No, I was not able to ping IP...  What connectivity issue it could possibly be? Cann you help me on this?

  • If you are connecting the EVM directly to your PC, I believe that you need to be in static IP mode.  You will need to have the correct DIP switch settings on the board, and the correct IP settings on your PC.  There are instructions here:

  • Dear Fredrick,
    Thanks for your kind reply.
    That issue is solved...

    But when i try to do the image processing demo from MCSDK i get some errors...
     

    I’ll list out the things that I have done in CCS v5

    1.       Loaded the projects image processing master and slave from C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\mcsdk_2_00_00_beta2\demos\image_processing

    2.       Checked the properties and everything is fine.

    3.       Build the project.

    4.       Created a target configuration file -> selecting texas instruments XDS100v2 USB emulator->TMS320c6678

    5.       Loaded the gel file C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv5\ccs_base_5.0.3.00023\emulation\boards\evmc6678l\gel\evmc6678l.gel in the initialization script in the advanced tab

    6.  Target configuration file was launched.

    7.  And got this in the console
    C66xx_0: GEL Output: Setup_Memory_Map...

    C66xx_0: GEL Output: Setup_Memory_Map... Done.

    C66xx_1: GEL Output: Setup_Memory_Map...

    8.       When I tried to connect target….c66xx_0 the following error was shown…
    IcePick_D: Error connecting to the target:  (Error -183) @ 0 (0x0)
    please do help me soon

  • Please use XDS100v1 USB emulator->TMS320c6678 instead of V2.

     

    Thanks,

    Arun.

  • Dear Arun,
    I tried like what you said. 
     

    and i got this error....

  • Did you try power cycling the board and connect again. This should work. Do you have any external JTAG connected too. The internal will not work, even you have a cable connected in the external JTAG pin.

    Thanks,

    Arun.

  • Dear Arun,
    How to do the power cycling? 
    An XDS560V2 emulator which came attached with the board is there. 

  • I meant switching it off and on again.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Arun.

  • Dear Arun,

     Power cycling was done already. It did'nt work. What else could be the problem?
