Getting started with EVMTMS320C6678

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678

I'm a beginner and I'm trying to follow the quick start guide.

In step 4 I receive by the hyper Terminal the following message:


IBL: PLL and DDR Initialization Complete
IBL Result code 00
IBL: Booting from NOR
Start BIOS 6
QMSS successfully initialized
CPPI successfully initialized

I don't see any IP address..

    hi ami adam,

    Can you double check whether the network the EVM is connected to has a server that assigns DHCP addresses?

    Also, try running the demo in static mode (by toggling User Switch 2 on SW9, http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMDXEVM6678L_EVM_Hardware_Setup). This will at least tell us if the board and demo work, and help us isolate the problem to the network.

    If you do have an DHCP server connected (which is the first step as Ivan mentioned), you may have to physically remove and reconnect the ethernet cable into the server/router for it to assign one.  After doing this, you can simply hit the reset button on the EVM too.

    Regards,

    Thanks for replying.
    Searching through the various forums I found the full solution.
    We have the TMDSEVM6678LE which is the TMS320C6678 EVM with XDS560v2 Emulator.
    The Quick Start Guide is corresponds to the TMS320C66x but it is the same for the TMDSEVM6678LE.
    Although the component consists XDS560v2 you need to connect the USB to the USB mini-B for the XDS100 (to the bottom board).
    Apparently in our case we do not have a DHCP server and therefore we had to work with static IP. You need to:
    1. Change the IP address of the computer (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/).
    2. Change the switch in SW9-2 to Off.
    After raising the power you may see in the computer's device manager the COM port that was created by the connection.
    Then you may continue to step 3 on the Quick Start Guide, choose the appropriate COM and set the Hyper Terminal configurations.
    By running RESET_FULL (step 4), it will be possible to progress ..
    Hope it will be helpful,
    Good luck ..
