TMS320C5535: How to create a DSP/BIOS project

Part Number: TMS320C5535

Tool/software:

Hi, experts:

I use Code Composer Studio 12.8.1 with TMS320C5535 and I want to create a CCS project with .tcf to configure the settings, I've installed bios_setupwin32_5_42_02_10 and follow the instructions to set up the system variables as described in this link: https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/dspbios/5_42_02_10/exports/docs/docs/SetupGuide.html, but still I can only create a CCS project without .tcf, did I miss anything here? Thanks.

Hi Bill,

First of all, you will need to download and install the C55xx CGT 4.4.1 from Code Generation Tools for Texas Instruments Processors : Downloads

In CCS, Select Project menu --> New CCS project, you will get the following dialog:

Select the DSP/BIOS v5.xx Examples, then choose the ezdsp5535 Examples -> hello world example:

You will get the hello.tcf file created in the dsp_bios_test project:

Best regards,

Ming

Hi, Ming:

I've installed C55xx CGT 4.4.1, but still can't get DSP/BIOS v5.xx examples in your way, did I miss something?

Hi Bill,

You will need to install both DSP/BIOS 5.42.00.07 and DSP/BIOS 5.42.02.10 in c:\ti folder.

Best regards,

Ming

Hi Bill,

Please check your CCS General of your CCS project. Make sure the DSP/BIOS support exist:

Also please install the following components at c:\ti folder:

XDCTools 3.24.05.48 (XDCtools Releases)
XDAIS 7.24.00.04 (XDAIS 7_24_00_04)

Best regards,

Ming

Hi，Ming:

I've installed XDCTools 3.24.05.48 and unzip XDAIS 7.24.00.04 at C:\ti, any system variables need to be set? BTW, after I installed DSP BIOS for C55xx, any further action need to do so the CCS will recognize it? I still can't create a DSP/BIOS example like you, seems the CCS doesn't detect the existence of DSP/BIOS, please help to check if anything missing, this is new to me, please show more detailed steps if it doesn't trouble you too much, thanks a lot.

Bill
