Debugging issue in CCS 4 with DM3730 & TDS560USB emulator

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Dear sirs,

         I'm a brand new hand of TI development environment,  now we need to do some development on both the ARM side and the DSP side  of a chip. So, we bought a community supported board: BeagleBoard -xM with a DM3730 SoC on it.   Then, we use the emulator - TDS560 USB , which I think basically the same as XDS560 (I'm not very sure of this).  On the PC side, I have downloaded the CCS 4.24

         In order to attach to the DM3730 and debug on it, I followed the instructions and created a target configuration. This is where I got stuck in, because there isn't DM3730 listed in the device supported list. So, I don't know what to do with that .

        I do have done some research in the forum, and tried to download the configuration files of DM3730 some kind guys have posted,   still doesn't work, will it be the reason that  I'm not using the same emulator with them? (I am using TDS560 USB while they are using XDS510v2 or XDS560)

     Sirs, this is my first post, thanks for your care, and please forgive me if I have made any stupid mistakes. And I will be very glad to pend all the info you need to diagnose this issue. 

     Thank you all!

    yes it looks like a variant of the XDS560 USB based emulators.

    Do you have the drivers for the TDS560 USB for CCSv4? CCS does not come with them by default. You need to get them from Wintech. When i go to the URL, I can't find them myself (the download link is broken for me). The first thing to make sure is if you have the drivers for it.

    DM3730 is not supported by default in CCS. If you move to version 5, there are files you can add to your v5 install so that DM3730 shows up in the list:

    Yes, you need to create a configuration for your emulator. Again, make sure you have v4 drivers (or v5) for your emulator.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    After reading your post, I suspect the emulator may not have support for CCSv4/v5. I verified its page at Wintech website and there is no mention of CCSv4 and CCSv5, therefore my suggestion is to contact them and ask if they have device drivers or even a setup procedure for the newer versions of CCS.

    If they don't have support, you may try the low-cost XDS100 or other manufacturers.

    Regarding the DM3730 support, we apologize for the missing devices. I am pretty sure you already did that, but just for your reference keep an eye on the Device Support page where the latest versions and bug fixes are published.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
