TMDSDSK6713: About TMDSDSK6713 with Win11 OS

Rocky

Part Number: TMDSDSK6713

Tool/software:

To whom it may concern:

I bought TMDSDSK6713 days ago, and the CCS offered in the attached CD is of version 3.1 which doesn't run properly in Win11.

Then I succeeded in installing the lastest CCS v12.7.1, but when following the instructions in the "6713_dsk_quickstartguide.pdf", I run into problems when trying to install "DSK6713 Drivers and Target Content", as shown in the picture below.

So, my questions are:

1. Is the content in that CD compatible with Win11?

2. If I use CCS v12.7.1, do I need to update also the Target Content, and where could I access it?

3. Is there the latest instruction about how to start TMDSDSK6713 with Win11?

Hello Rocky,

No design support for C6713

First off, to set support expectations: we can no longer provide design support for C6713 on either software or hardware questions, as per the support banner on the product page: https://www.ti.com/product/TMS320C6713B

So if you are working on a new design, I would suggest looking at a more recent part where we will be able to offer support.

CCS and C6713

Not every version of CCS is tested with every single TI processor. Since C6713 has not been supported for many years, the recent versions of CCS will NOT support C6713.

You can find old versions of CCS here:

http://ap-fpdsp-swapps.dal.design.ti.com/index.php/SDO_Internal_ReleasesCodegen/Codegen.htm#Code_Generation_Tools

You can find the DSP/BIOS software releases (and the CCS version that was associated with each release) here:

https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_registered_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/index.html

Regards,

Nick

Hi, Nick,

Thanks for replying!

At first, the DSP in that DSK is TMS320C6713 rather than TMS320C6713B, since they belong to the same series, does that mean also limited support for TMS320C6713?

Secondly,

The link above doesn't work in my side. Could you please check and resend it?

At last, I already bought the TMDSDSK6713 and I don't want to waste the resource I owe now. Based on my condition, how do you suggest I make best use of the Kit?

Best

Hello Rocky,

Clarifying "no support"

That is correct, both C6713 and C6713B are too old for us to support on the forums. The most recent software was released more than 10 years ago, so these parts have been around for a very long time.

CCS download link

Apologies, it looks like that is an internal-only link. I will send your thread over to the CCS team to comment on the "right" way to access old CCS releases.

Next steps now that you purchased the EVM?

Please give us a couple of days to get back to you.

If you are creating a new design, I would suggest that you look at a newer processor where we will be able to offer support if you have questions. If you already have an existing design with this part, we WILL continue shipping parts as per https://www.ti.com/support-quality/quality-policies-procedures/product-life-cycle.html

Regards,

Nick

I suggest you use the environment that the Kit best supports. This would likely be a Windows XP-32 environment.

The contents of the CD is very old. It *may* be possible to use it with Windows 11, but there is no guarantee.

Please note that the CD is not from TI but from a third party called Spectrum Digital. Unfortunately they are no longer in business so support for it is non-existent

CCS 12.7.1 does have some limited support for the C6713 device. However, if you wish to use the onboard XDS510USB connection of the DSK, that will not work since we dropped support for XDS510 starting with CCS 9.0.

If you wish to use the onboard XDS510, CCS 8.3.1 would be the last version you can use.

No.

Thanks
