TMS320C6414: Development tool

Nobuhiro Nakadou
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: TMS320C6414
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO, TMS320C6416

Tool/software:

I have been asked to write a program for the "TMS320C6414" to a board that has a "TMS320C6414" mounted on it.
<Question 1>
I can't find any tools for the "TMS320C6414" on the website. Is there a tool that can write it?

<Question 2>
If the above tools are not available, the only option is to build an environment using the following old tools owned by the client. Are there any other tools required?
・ ICE "XDS510PP"
・ Development software "Code Composer Studio" V2.2 and V3.0
I think that the program will be written to the flash ROM attached to the DSP by starting "Flash Burn" from the "Code Composer Studio" menu.

<Question 3>
Is it okay to use either V2.2 or V3.0 of "Code Composer Studio"?

<Question 4>
It seems necessary to connect the ICE "XDS510PP" to the parallel port. Are there any Windows (2000/XP/7) drivers for "XDS510PP" ?
Are they included in "Code Composer Studio"?

best regards,

    Nobuhiro,

    For Code Composer Studio v2.2/3.0 the drivers for Debug Probes like the XDS510PP came from the vendor. I am not sure which one you have.

    For a couple of the vendors (Spectrum Digital and Blackhawk) we bundled the drivers starting in CCSv5.  XDS510 support was discontinued in CCSv9.  i.e. the last version to support them was CCSv8.3.1

    Note that there were USB versions of the XDS510.  These are also generally discontinued but they can be found for sale.

    Old versions of CCS can be downloaded here:

    https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO/

    For programming an external flash chip on a board customers would sometimes write their own utility to do this.  There was a tool called Flashburn from a company called SDS Inc.  It came with support for the flash chips that were on common TI development boards and you could purchase a porting kit to port it to a different flash chip.  The tool is no longer supported but they do still have it on their website for download.  https://teamsds.com/flashburn/

    Ricky, John, Thanks for the useful information. I tried running the XDS510PP on "Windows XP" PC installed "Code Composer Studio v2" and "C6416 DSK Patch to CCStudio v2.20.00" and "Spectrum Digital TMS320C6x Drivers, CCS Debug Tools". The attached PDF file is the result. 
    I run "SDConfig.exe". it appeared to be communicating with the XDS510PP-PLUS.
    XDS510PP-PLUS does not appear in Device Manager. Is device connected to parallel port not showing up in device manager?
    The XDS510PP-PLUS does not appear to be recognized by CCS or FlashBurn.(EMULATOR DISCONNECTED)
    CCS manual does not describe the setup procedure for connecting the XDS510PP-PLUS to a custom board.
    I need some advice. Please help. Thanks in advance.XDS510PP.pdf

    Nakadou-san,

    Thank you for attaching the document. It is helpful.

    Based on the results of the SDConfig utility, it looks like there is successful communication between the host PC to the C6416 using the XDS510PP. This means low level JTAG connection appears valid.

    Based on your screenshot of the CCS Setup, it looks like you are configured to use the XDS510 ISA emulator and not the PP one.

    A setup for the PP for address 0x3BC should look like:

    Please make sure the Emulator I/O Port being used is 0x3BC.

    Thank you

    Ki-san, Thank you for very useful information. I select PP Emulator and set IO address of PP to 3BC. I could erase and write on DSK board! I am so happy.

    More one questions. DSP of DSK board is TMS320C6416. DSP of my target board is TMS320C6414. Is "FBTC Program File" of FlashBurn the same? [ c:\ti\bin\utilities\flashburn\c6000\dsk6416\FBTC6416.out ]  Thanks in advance.

    I'm not too familiar with "FBTC" file. It may be related to Flashburn.

    Please note that FlashBurn is a 3rd party software not developed by TI. Hence I do not have much expertise on it.
