Trouble with 6678 EVM configuration

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678

I hope that you can help me.  I am working with a new part of yours the TMS320C6678.  I have the TMDXEVM6678LE evaluation module that I am working with.  I have installed CCS (and everything else) from the DVE provided and want to run the hello world demonstration.  However, when I go to connect the CCS to the JTAG, I get errors.  The log file is below:

 

C66xx_0: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0xeee0 on Page 0 of Length 0x94: (Error -1190 @ 0x8000) Unable to access device memory. Verify that the memory address is in valid memory. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 5.0.952.0)

C66xx_0: GEL: File: C:\Users\david\workspace_v5_3\Hello3\Debug\Hello3.out: Load failed.

C66xx_0: Error: (Error -1190 @ 0x0) Unable to access device memory. Verify that the memory address is in valid memory. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 5.0.952.0)

 

 

However, if I go to the CCS setup screen for the Blackhawk and run the test script, the test passes (see log attached below)

 

I obviously have a configuration setting wrong but there is nothing that I can see that is wrong.

  • You need to use a Linker Command file with valid memory ranges.  The error message

    "C66xx_0: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0xeee0 on Page 0 of Length 0x94: (Error -1190 @ 0x8000) Unable to access device memory. Verify that the memory address is in valid memory. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 5.0.952.0)"

    Indicates you're linking into Address Space 0x0000 EEE0 which is not valid memory space.  I'd suggest using the linker command file from one of the example CSL projects.

    Best Regards,

    Chad

  • David,

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I recommend that you update your component versions first, but from above it appears that you are able to connect to the board ok, just not load your .out file?  Can you verify that you can connect to your target cores ok with CCS and run the gel file?  If so, can you load and run any of the MCSDK example projects?

    Regards,

    Travis

  • I updated to the latest CCS (which is version 5.3) and also updated the BIOS files.  Then I was able to reboot and reload the USB drivers and after all that I was able to connect to the evm.  Thanks
