Cannot connect to C5510 DSK target

George Karagoulis

Hello,

I bought a Spectrum Digital C5510 DSK about 5 years ago, but haven't played with it in about as long. Honestly I'm not sure if they darn thing still works anymore so I'm trying to get it started with the latest and greatest tools. I installed Code Composer 6 with driver support for Spectrum Digital emulators (I'm pretty sure I've got the XDS510USB). When I plug in the device, and all the LED's come on and Windows 7 installs the drivers successfully and I can see it in Device Manager. The problem is when I try to connect to it in CCS or the sdConfig utility, I get this error like it can't find it:

[Start: Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator_0]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/emulation/drivers/sdjtag -f %boarddatafile% -v -X reset -X scantest

[Result]

** BoardFilePath: /home/mine/.ti/ti/0/0/BrdDat/testBoard.dat
** Resetting Emulator
     ERROR -- XDS510-USB Emulator not connected/enumerated

[End: Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator_0]

I tried this in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and I'm getting the exact same error. In Linux, lsusb shows the device clearly, but I just can't connect to it. I've been working on this for several hours now and I'm getting nowhere anymore, and starting to think my board has something wrong with it, even though it seems to be working just by looking at it. Could it be that the board is too old and the drivers are no longer supported? Do I need to use an older version of CCS? Do I have a jumper setting wrong somewhere?

lsusb: Bus 008 Device 006: ID 0c55:5510 Spectrum Digital, Inc.

My target configuration is using the Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator for the TMS320C5510 (but I didn't know if I should choose the DSK5510 here).

Thank you for helping!

Thanks for the quick reply.

I think the other post you referenced is not my same issue, but it's encouraging to know that my DSK should work with CCS6. My error is "ERROR -- XDS510-USB Emulator not connected/enumerated", and the linked post solves the error "Error initializing emulator". The guy in that post is able to use the scConfig utility, whereas mine fails with the same error as CCS6. My OS recognizes it in the USB connections, and it says it's working properly, so I believe my drivers are fine. I think my problem is somewhere in the target configuration, which is currently using all defaults for the "Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator". Is that the correct target connection for my board?

I just discovered today that I should set the TCLK divisor to 2 in my target configuration, but I'm not in a place where I can test that right now. Could that be my issue?

I have an update, but not a happy one. I tried setting the TCLK divisor to 2 and I get the same results.

VC5510 DSK supports 2 ports for CCS connection. On-board USB which connects via USB (J201 on the board). The other is the 14-pin JTAG emulator, (J7). Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator uses J7. Under Target Configurations, choose Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator and DSK510.

Please confirm.

Yes I am using the on-board USB emulator, and have it configured with the XDS510USB emulator with DSK5510. Under this configuration I get the error messages above.

Well, no surprise. If you are using the on-board USB emulator, you should use "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard Emulator" as in the post suggested in earlier reply. Please reference to that post for the steps.

If you are using the TMS320VC5510 DSK, then you should not use "ezDSP onboard USB emulator". There is only a 14-pin JTAG emulator on the C5510 DSK.

I'll try it when I get home, but now I'm confused, because your post clearly states that you should not use the eZdsp with the C5510 DSK, and now you say that's the only way it will work? I found that post a long time ago, and I never tried the eZdsp because you said to not use it. I really hope this works...

Ok I finally got it to work. I needed to use the eZdsp onboard USB emulator selection with DSK5510. It threw me off that there is no "Test Connection" function for this selection. When I tried this for the first time a week ago I tried all possible selections, but I ignored the ones that grayed out the "Test Connection" button, because I assumed they were invalid. But when I tried again yesterday I decided, what the heck, I'll just try flashing even though I can't test the connection, and voila it worked! (Well...actually then I ran into a runtime issue because the sample .cmd file they give for the C5510 was somehow not working with the simple 3-line program I wrote, but I grabbed an old one from years ago that I knew worked, and now I'm set).

Thanks for the help. I'm getting back up to speed on this after 5 years of keeping it on the back burner, so I'm really happy to have everything up and running again!

Glad it works. Bon Voyage.
