TMS320VC5410A: TMS420VC5410A and XDS510PP Supports?

Part Number: TMS320VC5410A

Tool/software:

Hello,

Does the XDS510PP emulator support the TMS320VC5410A DSP chip?

    The XDS510 class of emulators do support the C5000 family of devices.   The PP suffix indicates that it connects via the Parallel Port of a PC. While I did not find the XDS510PP specifically mentioned, I did find, on the old Spectrum Digital website, that the XDS510PP Plus supports the C54xx devices. 

    Installing drives/software for the XDS510PP Plus on a PC may be a challenge.

    Hello,

    thanks a lot for information. Can I flash the software to the DSP IC using SDflash? Do you know about that?

    I'll loop in our software team to see if they can help answer this.

    Hi Samet,

    I looked it up, the C5410A does not support MMC/SD, therefore if you try to use SDFlash to flash the application program to SD card, then it is not possible.

    In general, the C5410 does not have any non-volatile memory (flash memory or EEPROM) on chip, therefore any non-volatile memory has to be on board (not on chip). To flash your application program into the non-volatile memory should be board specific. The flash programmer should be board specific too.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ming, Yes, that's true. There's an external flash chip and microcontroller on the board. However, because the DSP C5410A has a Serial EEPROM, there's also software built into the DSP. I connected to it with the XDS510-USB Emulator, read the software, and saved it to my computer with the .out extension. I learned from a friend that XDS510PP is needed to load this software onto a new IC (C5410A). I'm trying to find out from here whether the XDS510PP is compatible with loading the software onto a new IC.

    Hi Samet,

    The XDS510-USB and the XDS510PP should work the same way on C5410A. The only difference is the interface (USB vs PP). If you can connect to the DSP core using the XDS510-USB, then you can flash the saved EEPROM image onto the new IC.

    Keep in mind, the EEPROM image is in HEX format (*.bin not *.out). To flash it into the new IC's EEPROM (assume it is C5410A), you will need an EEPROM programmer (*.out file), load and run it on C5410A, it will read the EEPROM image from your PC, then write it onto the new IC's EEROM.

    Best regards,

    Ming

    Hi Ming,

    Yes, you're right. I know how to program Flash and Eeprom. But this DSP is different from them. That's why I couldn't complete some steps. I used the XDS510-USB to read the software from the IC. I just couldn't write it to a new IC. I learned that because the parallel port emulator interface is different, I could upload the software to a new IC. The USB emulator doesn't have a "Program" software upload feature. I get an error. Do you have your email address?

    Hi Samet,

    The USB emulator cannot do the flashing or programming. It only allows you to load and run the flash/programming tool (*.out file) on the new IC. The programming tool will read the EEPROM/flash image (*.bin) from your PC (which runs the CCS) into the memory of new IC (via file i/O), then write it into the EEPROM.

    Best regards,

    Ming

    Hello Ming

    Again I will try today. I will give you reply.
