Supporting TMS320VC5509A DSK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320VC5509A

I would like to be able to use CCS Version: 5.1.0.09000 with the TMS320VC5509A DSK and DSP/Bios 5_41_11_38 as supplied with CCSv5.1. Is that possible? When I create a new DSP/Bios v5.x Configuration File this board doesn't appear in the platform list. Is there another platform that could be substituted? If not, how could this board be supported?

  • John,
    when you say that the platform does not appear in a list, are you talking about the list that shows up on the dialog box Project Templates, under DSP/BIOS v5.xx Examples? If that's the case, you can select dsk5510 and create one of the available projects. Once a project is created, open the TCF script in a text editor and replace

    utils.loadPlatform("ti.platforms.dsk5510");

    with

    utils.loadPlatform("ti.platforms.evm5509A");

    I tried this for the Hell example and I was able to build.

  • Hi John --

    We don't provide examples for every board, but you should be able to easily modify the dsk5510 examples for use on the 5509A.   Just update the .tcf file in a text editor and change the platform name.   You should be able to do this for any of the dsk5510 examples.

    // utils.loadPlatform("ti.platforms.dsk5510");

    utils.loadPlatform("ti.platforms.evm5509A");

    No. From ccs v5 menus choose File,  New, DSP/BIOS v5.x Configuration File, hit Next. There's the list of platforms I'm talking about.

    The evm5509A platform  is already available, I don't think there is a need for me to edit the .tcf file. I think the correct answer to this question is 'just use the evm5509A platform for the 5509A DSK.
