AM3359 New Design Questions

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3359, TMDSICE3359

I'm considering a new design using the AM3359. I currently use the TMS320F28xxx series with CCS5 and a XDS510PP pod for all of development.To get a handle of what's needed, I've installed the ARM compiler in CCS5 and in starting a new project, the only choice for a device close to the AM3359 is "generic cortex A8". Is this the best/correct choice for this device, or do I need additional software?

Also, the TMDSICE3359 communications engine make reference to a USB emulator built into the board. To run this board with CCS5 do I just need a USB connection to the board with no other hardware (pod)? Will my 510PP pod work with this EVM if I adapt to the 20-pin JTAG header?

(The whole tools section for these parts is pretty sparse/convoluted with lots of circular references on the wiki's. There should be a table that shows what's needed for software and hardware for development, keeping it simple).

Thanks.

    This question can be best answered in the CCS forum: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81.aspx

    Yes, you can connect directly to a PC USB port. Your emulator should work with this board, but you will need to do some modifications on the ICE: disconnect the JTAG signals from the FTDI chip and populate the JTAG header and unpopulated passives around it. You can solder in a 14-pin header as I think that this is what your emulator has. Pins 1-14 are 1:1 on the 14 pin and 20 pin headers.
