C54x Simulation using CCS

Suresh,

Unfortunately both CCSv3.3. and 4 do not support C54x simulators. Please check the page below:

Thanks Rafael. So Is there any older version of CCS which supports C54x simulation? My concern to use C54x simulator is to understand the functionality of C54x intrinsics and port it to C64x. Is there any way to simulate them?

Thanks in advance

Suresh,

Sorry about my previous reply - I was misled by a rather incomplete wiki page (I am fixing it).

Yes, CCSv3.3 supports several C54x device simulators and you can use it to verify the functionality of the compiler intrinsics.

Rafael,

Thanks. When I create a project I am able to select  c54x simulator. Ansd also I am able to build a basic program without errors. But when I try to run , I am getting an error  "Warning ! No Valid program is currently loaded into memory.Do you still want to run ?" . If I click yes, it is pointing to some garbage location. If I click NO, it is exiting.

Am I missing , something.

Thanks

Also I could not create .cmd file. The reason is when I try to create a BIOS configuration file, I couldnt see an option to select C54x simulator platform. Is this the reason I couldnot run my code?

Thanks

Rafael,

Thanks. Also, I tried using the example project provided by TI located at my local disk  : " CCStudio_v3.3\C5400\dsplib\EXAMPLES\ADD" . Even with this I am getting the same error "Warning ! No Valid program is currently loaded into memory.Do you still want to run ?" . If I click yes, it is pointing to some garbage location. If I click NO, it is exiting.

Thanks

Suresh,

After building your project you need to load it to the simulator (as if you were loading your code to a board via an emulator). Go to menu File --> Load Program and point to the .out file generated. 

Hope this helps,

Rafael

P.S. The list of simulators page is fixed now.
