    Hi,

    You need a GEL file to do the initial configuration of the device, it will set things likie the MemoryMap, PLL and External Memory. They are necessary only when you're using en emulator. You can found them in you CCS installation directory like: C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\boards then select your board

    Here you have more information about gel files http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GEL. You can also download the gel file from here: http://software-dl.ti.com/sdoemb/sdoemb_public_sw/bios_mcsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

    Download the ti_emupack_keystone1_setup_xxxxx file under Dependecies.

    Yes, you need to add them. Linker file has information about memory sections, for example.

    You also need a target configuration file. To create one do: New -> Target Configuration File, then choose a name and click finish. A new window will prompt, here you choose if you want to use a simulator or an emulator. Also look for the device that you're using.

    When you're in the debug perspective go to the Tools menu, then click in RTSC Tools -> Platform -> Edit/View, browse for the Platform Package Repository, it's located in you XDC installation directory, something like: C:\ti\xdctools_x_x_x_x\packages, then search for your device in the Package Name and select CPU in CPU core and click next. In the next screen you can edit the memories.

    If you don't want to edit the default platform you can create another one (Tools -> RTSC Tools -> Platform) choose your device and in the next window click Import. This way you import the default platform and can edit a new one without overwriting the default.

    Also take a look here: http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Memory_Management
