CCS 5.1 with USB560-BP and DM6437

Jay McClellan

I just installed the latest CCS 5.1 and I'm trying to set up my USB560-BP emulator to work with my DM6437-based product. I've been using this hardware for years in CCS 3.x but in the CCS 5.1 Target Configuration dialog when I select the USB560-BP connection there is no option for DM6437 in the device list. I have used Help->Check for Updates to get the latest updates. Is this processor no longer supported in CCS 5.1? If not, what is the latest version of CCS that supports it? Or if it is supported, how can I configure it to work?

    Hi Jay,

    it is supported in the latest CCS 5.1. Are you using the Blackhawk USB560-BP? If so, DM6437 should appear in the list unless you did not install the necessary components. Did you do a custom install and only install the C6000 components?

    Thanks

    Thanks Ki, yes I believe I installed only the C6000 components, thinking that it would include the 6437. Is there any simple way to just add the missing components or do I have to do the download and installation all over again?

    That would be logical but of course we have to make it difficult for you :)

    You can re-run the installer and point it to your existing installation to modify it and add the components for "DaVinci Video Processors"

    Thanks

    Thanks for the advice but re-running the installer pointing to the existing installation doesn't work. Using the default installation path of "C:\ti", it reported "You are trying to install one or more components with lower versions than initially installed. Please download a new installer." and then the installer just exited. I also tried the "Install CCS plugins into an existing Eclipse installation" option pointing to "C:\ti\ccsv5\eclipse" and got the same error.

    After I installed it the first time I hit help->Check for Updates and it updated one thing, can't recall exactly what it was, but that may be what it's complaining about. I expect that anyone trying to re-run the installer after an update is going to hit the same problem i.e. it appears that the only way to change the installed options is to completely redo the installation from scratch into a new directory. I'm starting that now, nearly 5 GB to download. :-(

    Ah, crap. You are right. It probably updated some component and thus the mismatch. Sorry. You'll have to redo the whole thing :(

    Doing a complete re-installation with ""DaVinci Video Processors" selected solved the problem, thanks.
