hello everyone

I am learning to how to use CCS resecently, there is a error that I search the Internet but can hardly find the answer.The error is

Error initializing emulator

I/O Port = 540

Board Name: DSK6416
Cpu Name: DSP_C64xx

Abort:  Close Code Composer Studio.
Retry:  Try to initialize the emulator again.

Is there anyone who can tell me that how to solve it ?

Thank you very much

    Which version of CCS are you using?

    Error Initializing emulator typically means that CCS is not able to communicate with the JTAG emulator.  With some of the older DSKs like the C6416 i find I have to pull the usb cable and plug it back in to get it to enumerate.  Also check that the 5V power supply is connected to the DSK.

    My version of CCS is v3.1. I think there is a problem about configuration. The DSP I should use is C6416.

    Wow that is quite old.  Note that with CCSv4 or CCSv5 there is a free license that you can use with the C6416 DSK.  The free license will let you use all features but is limited to working with the onboard emulator that is on the board.  You can get CCSv4 or the CCSv5 beta here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

    The error is happening because CCS is not able to communicate with the onboard JTAG emulator on the DSK.  If you go into windows Device Manager is there an item listed under "SD USB Based Debug Tools".  It should look something like this.  If not then Windows is not recognizing the device (bad device or driver is not installed properly).

     

    The connection to the board should look like this:

     

    If you have it connected correctly and still don't see anything in Device manager you will likely want to contact Spectrum Digital.  However I would suggest trying a newer version of CCS first as Spectrum has newer drivers included with the newer CCS releases.
