Using dm6437evm accurate cycle simulator

I am using DM6437EVM with CCS v3.3. I want to use DM6437EVM accurate cycle simulator. I have two questions.

1) The DM6437 accurate cycle simulator is not included in the list when i run setup code composer studio v3.3. How can i run DM6437EVM accurate cycle simulator.

2) In simulator i want to take a raw image from a file as an input, process that image and then save that image in a file. It it possible? How?

    There should be a 'DM6437 Little Endian Simulator' in the available factory boards list, if it is not in your particualr CCS install you may need to update to a newer service release, you can access updates like this from the update advisor under the help menu of CCS. However for basic simulation a C64x+ cycle accurate simulator will do fine, the DM6437 configuration just adds in some virtual peripherals and memory

    This is certainly possible, one way to do this would be with C i/o (i.e. fopen, fread, etc..) and access an image file directly. You can also download and upload data to and from the simulator using the file -> data menu of CCS, though this requires specific formats and may not be as easy to use as just accessing the image file directly from your program.
