EZDSP28044 connect target

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28044

I have a TMS320F28044 eZdsp board and am running CCSv4 on Windows Vista. I'm trying to load a program onto my board, but the Connect Target button under the Target drop down menu is grayed out so that I cannot select it. I've been following the Build and Load Project section of C2000 Getting Started with Code Composer Studio v4,

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C2000_Getting_Started_with_Code_Composer_Studio_v4

Under the Set up the Target Configuration Options for Device Emulation, I'm not sure which item to select under the 'Connection' drop down menu, so I have tried all of them that have my board listed.  If I press the the green bug (Debug) button on the toolbar instead of attempting to do each set individually I get this message "Error initializing emulator' for every 'Connection' available. I'm not sure if this is due to me not having the option to connect to the target or not, but I'm looking for a work around this or a way to connect to the target.  My goal is to have my program on my board and this sounds like the route that I need to take to get there.

Thank you,

    Kevin,

    Which emulator do you physically have connected to the board? With the F28044 eZdsp I believe there is a on-board emulator which you can use, or you can use an external JTAG emulator (such as xds510, xds560 etc).

    If you are using the on-board emulator and a Spectrum Digital ezdsp board, you need to specify that in your CCS target configuration file. The wiki page that you reference above shows the example of creating a target configuration file for a XDS510USB emulator and F28335 device. You need to make the appropriate selections for your emulation connection and device. If it is on-board USB emulator on a Spectrum Digital ezdsp board, it would look like this:

    This would need to change accordingly depending on the emulation connection you are using.

    Once you have this set up you should be able to load and debug your program.
