Error initializing emulator

Martin Hrabina
Prodigy 70 points

Hello,

I am using TMS320C6713 DSK with CCS 5.5 on Windows 7. An "Error initializing emulator" occurs, I believe it might be because of missing driver (Device manager says there is no driver for this device installed), and I was not able to install it manually from CD (where also CCS 3.1 is present), it asks me to check if the driver is intended to work with x64 system. I somehow can't figure out what to do next, since google or similar TI forum debates couldn't help me.

Because of this I am asking you, help me please :) Thanks in advance

    Hi Martin,
    C6713 DSK board has internal onboard emulator (DSK EVM -eZdsp onboard USB emulator) and you can choose it from target configuration on CCS.

    Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have already seen such an answer and that should not be the issue (unless I am doing something wrong).
    I saw it here: e2e.ti.com/.../761316 and also here: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/155623
    So I should have configured connection "DSK EVM -eZdsp onboard USB emulator".

    Still same error

    EDIT: If it helps somehow, I tried to follow this wiki:  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6713DSK_in_CCSv5

    at step 7. "Run 6713SDKDiag.exe from C:\DSK6713\drivers to check emulator connection" I am getting an error:

    --> Running USB diagnostics.
    Can't connect to target.

    *** Plug in power and USB cable.
    *** Can't run if Code Composer or Diagnostic already running.

    Result> USB diagnostic fail
    Stopping diagnostic suite.

    Power and USB cable are plugged in; Code Composer was not running (That diagnostic software was running of course...)

    Hi Martin,

    Could you share the screen shot of your problem to understand better.
    Have you done "Test connection" and got pass ?

    Hello,

    So you can see the screenshot here: postimg.org/.../elh2mxs77 (hope it helps).

    Debugging attempt was kind of a connectivity test (almost no code present yet), since "6713SDKDiag.exe" doesn't pass (see my previous post) and "Test Connection" in .ccxml file (where I am setting emulator) can't be used (Field is grayed out, I have seen somewhere it is because of that Spectrum Digital onboard emulator, see next screenshot)

    Hi Martin,
    I have seen your attachements and target config setup seems to be good.
    Now I'm suspect about your hardware that how did you connect the emulator to your DSKC6713 board.
    Could you attach the snap shot of your hardware settings.

    That's a little bit embarassing, but I am not really sure what do you mean by hardware settings :/ Could you please provide more detailed description of what is expected of me? Sorry for inconvenience and thanks for your help

    Able to see the DSKC6713 driver notification on your PC after powered up your DSKC6713 board ?

    If not, then you might get detect hardware with warning symbol like what I have for "PCI Serial port" and try to update the driver by using the following path.

    C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\drivers

    Still if you face the same problem I would like to suggest to use latest CCS IDE version (CCSv5.5 or CCSv6)

    You need to provide the processor's family details for emulator dirver installation when you install CCS IDE on your PC.

    Thanks for clarification.
    You are right, there is no driver for the device (warning symbol present) - postimg.org/.../nj2sxrznv
    When trying to manually update driver, I couldn't find any drivers (.inf files) in folder you mentioned (folder is present with some files inside, but no .inf file is there). I was trying to find it both in CCSv5.5 and CCSv6 (have them installed both). During installation, I picked C6000 single core DSPs (which should contain also TMS320C6713 I believe) - postimg.org/.../r8lzol7yt
    Additionally, there is a driver present on CD packed with starter kit (TMS320C6713), 6713.inf, but this one can't be installed (probably because of Windows 7 - 64bit) - postimg.org/.../i1a741v13

    I am currently trying to make it work using Windows XP running on virtual machine, I could succesfully finish connectivity test with 6713SDKDiag.exe, though I can't yet debug the device (testing it just a moment). Priority for me is to make it work on Win 7 but in case of necessity I will content myself with Win XP.

    I hope, now you can debug your C6713DSK board with CCSv5.5 or CCSv6.
    Right now, I'm having CCSv5.5 and CCSv6 on my windows 7 machine (64bit)
    Please ask us if you have any doubts.
