Hi

Is there a stand-alone simulator for c6455, equivalently c64x+ cores?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Chandru

    These simulators are integrated into CCS.  Here's a screenshot:

    There's no way to use them outside of CCS if that's what you meant by "stand alone".

    Hi 

     

    I have CCS v3.3.
    As installed, in directory CCStudio_v3.3\C6000\cgtools_6.0.15\bin, the
    stand-alone simulator is a program called load6x.exe.
    It is run from the command line, like so:

    bash-4.1$ load6x
    TMS320C6x Standalone Simulator Version 6.0.1  C6201

    OPTIONS -- C6xxx Simulator
    OPTIONS -- REVISION 2
    OPTIONS -- MAP 1 *** DEFAULT MEMORY MAPPING ***
    NOTE    : For details on above options please refer to the readme.1st
       COFF file [.out]:


    As you can see, it announces itself as a stand-alone simulator, but it
    is only good for C62...
    Is there one for c64x+  ?

     

    Thanks,

    Chandru

    As you can see this tool has not been updated for a while, nor are there plans to update it.

    No.  What issue do you have in using CCS?

    The reason for using the stand-alone simulator is so as to run regression tests from the command line, ie as many as we want, whenever we want. I would only use the GUI if I have a reason to debug some test case when it fails. I certainly don't want to feed in all test cases into the GUI by hand.

    We created Debug Server Scripting for the purpose of running automated regression tests.

    To expand on Brad's reply, there is something called 'loadti' that comes with CCSv4. It is script that uses Debug Server Scripting and functions as a command line loader for all targets.
