CCS Gurus,

What is the use of CCS3.3v / CCS4v simulators? What are its limitations?

Do we have any documentation about how to use these simulators?

Regards,

Manoj

Manoj,

The main simulation wiki page is a good place to start for more information on the simulators in CCS.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Simulation

It gives you an overview of the various types of simulators and why to use each one. At the bottom in the topic list is a topic that shows the various simulators in CCSv4. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/SimulatorConfigurationsAndFeaturesMatrix For CCSv3.3 there is a simulator selection guide included in the installation.

Regards,

John

John,

Do we have any archived video of how to use the C2000 simulators?

no. What are you looking to do with the simulator? C2000 sims are typically not widely used due to the large number of low cost h/w platforms available.

hi,

While reading this post, one question arose:

No simulators for CCSv5.1?

Or could we install ccvs4 sim on a ccv5.1 ?

ki,

Yes you are rigth for the common devices.

I was thinking of some more "esoteric "simulators such as ivahd.

But I looked on the forum and it is said it won't be ported from ccsv4 to ccsv5.

"esoteric" simulators are generally not included in the standard CCS image. The simulation team does have additional simulators that are available internally and to selected customers but are not meant for broad market use.

In the cc_setup tool it should describe what is supported by this simulator. Not that the F281x simulators are not supported in CCSv4 or CCSv5. There is only an F283x CPU sim.

I don't believe so.

You would have to load these functions into memory as the ROM is not going to be there.

Yes

Why is it that you are wanting to use this simulator?
