Hi,
Sorry if similar enquiries have appeared on the forum previously but I am having a lot of trouble getting started with the eZdspC5535 from Spectrum Digital. Here is some summary:
First and foremost: My Host computer has Linux, Debian wheezy to be precise. I do not have any intention to switch to windows or anything just to develop on this board. Having said that, this is my problem:
I purchased the development board, which came with a CD with only executables for Windows (completely useless for me). I went to the TI page and tried to download code composer studio version 4 but i could not find a binary or package to install on linux. Hence I had no choice but to download the latest version, ccsv6. It downloaded and installed correctly. However, I don't have any example projects to get started, not even to blink a led.
So what I am asking for is the following:
I want to be able to run some example projects on code composer studio, and be able to download them to RAM (and eventually to flash) on the eZdsp board, and It would be nice to have some library support to be able to expand to my own projects, such as MACRO register definitions for the processor, APIs for simple use of peripherals such as UART, I2S, etc, the usual thing.
Can someone help me with this? Is there a way i can get ccsv4 for debian and use the chip support library (and example projects) provided by spectrum digital, or example projects and chip support library that i can use in ccsv6?
Thank you very much in advance,
Agustin
PS: Just in case someone mentions it, I already saw a similar post linking to a pdf file explaining how to update the DSP/BIOS on ccsv6 to be able to import the old chip support library, but it was useless again, because it pointed to a download page with a binary that cannot be executed on linux.
