Issues while connecting CCS with DM6437 EVM Board

Hi,

A customer of mine is facing some issues  while connecting CCS with DM6437 EVM Board through the option DEBUG -> Connect. And while received the TMDSVDP6437 EVM board package there were no cd-roms for Virtual Logix VLX Digital Media and also one of the two cd-roms of Spectrum Digital Case

He has following questions

First one is, He installed Code Composer Studio version 3.3 in his  system and installed EVM Drivers Target Contents for the EVM. 
He is opening the CCS IDE and trying to connect the 6437 board through the option DEBUG -> Connect but when he perform that option, it shows the following error 
Error connecting to the target: Error 0x80002240/-1041 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control, Device driver: Problem with the Emulation Controller. 
It is recommended to RESET EMULATOR. This will disconnect each target from the emulator. The targets should then be power cycled or hard reset followed by an emureset 
and reconnect to each target. 
Sequence ID: 0 
Error Code: -1041 
Error Class: 0x80002240 
I/O Port = 540 
Board Name: EVM-DM6437 
Cpu Name: cpu_0 
He  tried to turn off and reset the kit several times. But it shows the same error. The specifications related to the CCS are CCS version : 3.3.38.2 
Bios : 5.31.02 
Code Generation Tools : v 6.0.8.
second question is, he  verified the contents of the EVM board package with TMS320DM6437 DVDP Getting Started Guide, but there were no CD-ROMs of 2 numbers for 
VirtualLogix VLX for Digital Media and also one of the two CD-ROMs of Spectrum Digital case. He wants to know What he has  to do to get those software?

    Shimi,

    At first glance, the version of CCSv3.3 he is using is very old (3.3.38.2) and I am not sure if this may be causing some issues; he should at least update it to the latest 3.3.83.x using the update advisor (menu Help --> Update Advisor --> Check for Updates) and also update the Spectrum Digital's device drivers (available at their support page).

    Also, if he is using the on-board emulator (the mini-USB connector), make sure he tests the connection using the Spectrum Digital SdConfig utility. If the utility fails to connect and reset the emulator, then CCS will not be able to connect at all and the hardware and connections must be inspected. A good procedure to troubleshoot the JTAG connections is shown at the page below:

    I am not knowledgeable about the EVM contents; for that I suggest asking this in the device forum.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Shimi,

    Another detail: make sure your customer is configuring CCSv3.3 using the parameters shown in the attached screen. I see that his configuration has 0x540 as the emulator port address, but that is rather unusual as typically the XDS510USB emulator port numbers start at 0x510.

    That is also critical for a proper connection to the board.

    Regards,

    Rafael
