CCS/TDA2PXEVM: EVE Simulator vs TDAX Simulator

Part Number: TDA2PXEVM


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I had few questions regarding EVE Simulator installation and its usage

- Is the EVE simulator same as the TDA2X simulator (TI Vayu CCS Simulator) mentioned in section 3.7 of the "eve_sw_getting_started.pdf"? If not, how do I access it? I found in another post where the EVE Simulator had to be downloaded from the CDDS webpage.

- CCS v5.5 on Windows 10 machine keeps giving warning messages at launch, otherwise it seems to work fine. Do you foresee any issues with that?

I look forward to your reply. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Nishant

    EVE simulator is part of the VAYU CCS simulator bundle. It is no longer supported though. See this post for installation instructions, folks there seem to be able to install it at last.

    CCS v5.5 is not really supported anymore. Use it at your own risk. Albeit, for the most part, it should be fine.

  • Hello Alex,

    I have a TDA2px board which has 2 EVEs and 2 DSP C66 cores within it. I am planning to do a satellite radar configuration using 4 AWR1243s and I would like to do Rangle and Doppler using the 2 EVEs for the raw data collected from the four sensors. What would you recommend to do to perform FFT computation using the EVEs? Is there any documentation that will give me a guideline for the same? If the EVE Simulator is not supported anymore, what would be the best alternative in this case? I have installed CCS v8 in my computer but according to the "eve_sw_getting_started" pdf, EVE Simulator was only supported in v5. Hence, I had to install it in my computer.

    I look forward to your reply.

  • Hello Nishant,

    Let me bring in the SDK experts. They will have more answers to your questions. They will respond here soon. 

    thanks,

  • Hi Nishant,

        We have Range and Doppler FFT computation available on EVE as part of EVESW. You can refer <evesw>\apps\fft folder fot the same. We support host emulation for most our software deliverable as part of EVE SW. Host emulated code can be directly run on any PC (does not need any specific hardware platform). You can use the same for developing the prototype of your algorithm.

  • Hello Anshu,

    Thank you for your reply! Could you tell me how to run the host emulation in PC? I thought EVE Simulator was meant to do that but now since EVE Simulator is no longer supported, is there any other way to do it?

    Best Regards,
    Nishant
  • Hi Nishant, 
        Current host emulation in EVE SW library is supported via Microsoft Visual Studio compiler. You can run it on Microsoft Visual Studio. Please refer docs\evesw_getting_started.pdf for steps to build and the exact version of visual studio.

  • Hello Anshu,

    Thank you for your reply! I shall look into it.
