Can SYS/BIOS6.30.02.42 support C64XX devices?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM642, TMS320DM6467

I have a question about SYS/BIOS 6.

When I run the SYS/BIOS example templates in CCS4.2, with the target configuration is "TMS320DM642", but every time I run the example(such as log example),

the IDE prompted a wrong message:"Invalid file format"!  

I try to choose another device-- "TMS320DM6467" to run the example again, it was OK!  And I can watch the analysis data from the ROV  viewer. But TMS320DM6467 belongs to "C64X+ devices".

So I have a question "Can SYS/BIOS6.30.02.42 support C64XX devices, especially TMS320DM642"?

Anybody could give me some advice,? Thank you!

  • SYS/BIOS does not support the 64x devices or the 671x/672x devices.  

    We continue to support  these devices with DSP/BIOS 5.41.

    The SYS/BIOS release notes include a link to a page that summarizes all the devices we support.

    You can find release notes for the latest versions on this page:  http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/index.html

  • Karl,thank you very much for your help. I'm clear with this problem.

    Because I just learn to program in TI DSP for a short time,  I confused with the classification of TI DSP.

    Which DSP are belong to the category-- "Generic C64XX", and which are "Generic C64X+"?  I couldn't find the clear classification in TI website.

    Maybe you can give me some messages in your convenient time.   Thanks.

  • The C64x is a series of chips with an instruction set. The C64x+ (or sometimes calls c64p) is a series of chips that has the same instruction set, "plus" a few more instructions.

  • Yes, I'm clear with the difference between C64X and C64+.

    Thank you very much.
