TMS320C6748 LCDK - Target Configuration Launch Problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6748

Hello,

I try to launch (connect) to LCDK development kit but I get the following message:

   "Error initializing emulator"

I selected the connection type: "Spectrum Digital XDS510 USB emulator"

I selected the device: LCDKC6748

I connect the target to PC via: J3 (UART USB port)

Attached the target configuration file (I changed the extension from "ccxml" to "txt" in order to upload):

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configurations XML_version="1.2" id="configurations_0">
<configuration XML_version="1.2" id="Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator_0">

            </platform>
        </connection>
    </configuration>
</configurations>

Can you please advise me what the problem is?

Sincerely,

Yacob.

 

  • Hi Yacob,

    This board does not have a built-in emulator and should use the External
    emulator. For built-in emulator, when connect the device to host system, the emulator
    name will be displayed in Device Manager.

    Are you trying with "Spectrum Digital XDS510 USB emulator" external emulator.

    -Thanks,

  • Hello Balaji,

    Thank you for your answer.

    I thought LCDK has internal emulator therefore I didn't purchase external emulator.

    I want to write a simple code and to operate the LCDK and to see a response from LCDK (without emulator).

    The best way seems to be UART-USB port.

    Can you please send a simple code writing to UART-USB port?

    If this is no problem for you I prefer under SYS/BIOS.

    Sincerely,

    Yacob Hassidim.

     

     

     

    I have not external emulator by

  • Hi Yacob,

     

                In your Target Configuration, make sure that C6748 have the "initialization script" set to ..\..\emulation\boards\lcdkc6748\gel\C6748_LCDK.gel. You can find these when the Target Configuration window is open and you click on the Advanced tab (bottom of window) then click on the C64X_0.

     

    Also you may find some guidance from the TI Wiki Pages. I did a search there for "debugging emulator problems" (no quotes) and found several relevant hits. The first one on the list looks very helpful: Debugging JTAG Connectivity Problems. Please take a look at that Wiki topic.

     

    Thanks

  • Hello Iyshwara,

    Thank you for your answer.

    Do you mean I don't need emulator?

    In case I don't need emulator: How should I connect between PC and C6748 (LCDK)?

    - USB Mini port (LCDK side) to USB (PC side), or

    - Other USB port (OTG or USB host, LCDK side) to USB (PC side), or

    - JTAG port (LCDK side)to USB (PC side): In this case where can I get/buy the JTAG cable?

    Sincerely,

    Yacob Hassidim.

  • Hello Iyshwara,

    Can you please send answer to my question about LCDK emulator?
