DM3730 with CCS5

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730, CCSTUDIO

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the creation of a project under CCS v5.1 and a BeagleBoard -XM that runs a DaVinci DM3730. I use a Spectrum Digital XDS560v2 STM Traveler to program it, but, unless it is covered by another name, the DM3730 doesn't appear in the list of board or device, in the configuration file (.ccxml).

I have installed the whole version of CCS v5.1, and I can't find an update on the net for my device.

I thank you in advance for your answer.

Guillaume

  • Guillaume,

    On the CCS download page (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS) there is a link in the notes section beside the 5.1.0 download that has a download link for updated device support files for DaVinci devices.  There is a file for DM3730 in that package.  These are files that we have put together in the apps team.  We are working with the product teams to get the files officially rolled into future CCS updates.

    Regards,

    John

  • Thank you for your answer, it seems to match exactly with what I am looking for. But the problem now is that I can't download the file, for I have not the permission. The message (403) is the following:

     

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv5/device_support/davinci_device_support_1.0.0.zip on this server.

     

    I am currently at my school in France. I don't know if the problem comes from the school's server or TI's server. I will try later at home and will let you know.

  • The problem seems to be on our end.  All the device support links are giving the same error.  I will get that fixed.  In the mean time here is the zip.  There are installation instructions inside.

  • Thank you very much. The DM3730 now appears in the list, and I am able to run it.

  • In the file "installation_instructions" of this zip file.

    It says that "Run Code Composer Studio with the -clean option (ccstudio.exe -clean)".

    It seems for windows system.

    What should we do in linux OS?

     

    Thanks!

  • Albert,

    The -clean isn't always necessary.  I included it in the instructions as I found that sometimes on NTFS the timestamp on the directory wasn't changing when the new files were copied in and thus CCS wouldn't update its cache of the xml files.  Running with -clean makes sure the cache gets regenerated.

     

    Regards,

    John

  • There is an updated set of DaVinci files on the download site.  I did notice one thing with the DM3730 file that could cause it not to show all registers on Linux and fixed that.

  • Can I use the Device Support Files (latest files) with 5.0.3 (rather than 5.1.0)?

    Similar question:

    I've already installed the Device Support Files.  I select my Texas Instruments XDS100v3 USB Emulator.  I see the DM3730 is now in my Device list.

    I select it.... and very quickly after it automatically becomes unselected. 

    Is this indicating that there is some problem between my CCSV5.0.3 (Linux), my XDS100v2, and this config file?

  • Jeremy,

    The files might work with 5.0.3, the schema hasn't changed but I am not sure that all the dependent files are present.  The fact that it immediately unselects typically means that a file is missing.  Usually you can tell which file is missing by going to the advanced tab in target setup, click on the emulator on the left and then click on the Add button on the right.  This will open a dialog prompting you for what you want to add.  Select the devices tab and then double click on the device and hit ok.  Up at the top of the dialog there will be an error, if you put your mouse on it, it should say what the problem is.  Note that if you are missing 1 file you may be missing a bunch of them so if you can install 5.1 that would be a lot better. 

    Regards,

    John

  • Thanks JohnS.

    I followed the directions on my CCSv5 (v5.0.3) installation and saw the following message:

    " Trouble parsing include or instance xml file
    /opt/TI/CCSv5/ccsv5/ccs_base_5.0.3.00028/common/targetdb/../Modules/omap36xx/ISP_CCP2B.xml (No such file or directory).  Please choose a different component."

    I uninstalled and reinstalled 5.1 (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS).

    I also installed the Device Support Files .

    I was then able to create a New Target Congfiguration File for my XDS100v2 to talk to the DM3730.
