I have several TMS320C6713 projects that I have been successfully debugging and CI/CD testing with the DSS API. My DSS scripts use Code Composer version 7.4.0. I have recently started developing with the much older TMS320C5400 (C54x) and the older version of Code Composer that I am using seems to not support the DSS API. I am using Code Composer version 3.1 to run the C5420 debugger.
We want to buy a lot more boards and do a lot more development, but we cannot move forward with our process until we can guarantee we can still use our CI/CD tools. We need to be able to use scripts to simulate our code (Virtual Device) before deploying to our physical devices. Up until now the DSS API has allowed us to develop CI-CD tests, but now that we are using a C54x device we are stuck using Code Composer 3.1 for simulation.
Is there a way for me to move the debugging capability from Code Composer 3.1 into a newer version of Code Composer that supports the DSS API? Or even better... is there a way to simulate C54x instructions on a newer version of Code Composer (One that supports DSS API)
