Confirmation of placing code in C6713 DSP

Hi,

I am working on DSP C6713. I have written a code in CCS. Now I want to place it in extarnal flash, and interface the flash with DSP C6713. I am confused about a few things.

I am using CCSv4. CCS generates a .out file at its final step, now I my research  tells me that I have to convert the code(.out) to a .hex file. for that I can use Flashburn utility. Also I can also use JTAG to transfer the code to external Flash. But I don't know how to do that i.e How to transfer the code in (.out) format to flash which can then be interfaced with DSP.

My other confusion is that I wrote to configure EMIF using CCS. again I have generated its .out format file. Now How am I suppose to transfer it to DSP. Secondly there are some codes in help files at

C:\ti\DSK6713\c6000\dsk6713\lib\dsk6713bsl. 

A TI employee directed me to this location when I asked if my code I wrote for EMIF configuration was correct or not. Kindly guide me why were codes to read and write flash shared. In order to place the Code (.out) format in flash, do I have to use these codes.    

That is my mind these are steps needed to be done

1). write my code and code to configure EMIF in CCS, compile it generate a .out file 

2). use jtag, flashburn utility to tranfer the code to flash

3), Connect the the flash n DSP in hardware.

KINDLY TELL ME IF THE STEPS IN MY MIND ARE RIGHT.

AND ALSO PLZ TELL ME HOW TO DO 2nd step.

PLZ DO REPLY

THANK YOU

  • Maheen,

    If possible, please consider upgrading to CCSv5.

    It will benefit you greatly to find the IW6000 training class that is archived on the Wiki. Please go there and search for "C6713 training" (no quotes) or iw6000. The whole class may be helpful, but in particular there is a chapter titled "Creating a Stand-alone System" that talks about the method to do the things you are asking about.

    Follow that class will be much more helpful to you than you and I trading Q & A and trying to figure out the same material.

    Regards,
