Logging over USB connection

Hello,

I am writing an application which will collect the logs from multiple cores and send them over the ethernet to the host. Platform i am working on is C6670.

The limitation here is that the external host needs to be on the same subnet for which i need to create a local lan between the host and my target.

Now, if the host is having a single ethernet port which is plugged in corporate lan , we would have to either disconnect from the corporate lan, or we need to install 2 Lan cards on the host. Both of them are the limitations.

Is it possible to forward logs over the existing USB connection (with which CCS communicates ) and write an application on host to capture these logs ?

Any pointers would surely help.

Thanks,

Ankit

  • Ankrit,

    Although you can use the JTAG emulator to transfer data to/from the target device, its interface and drivers are only useable through CCS - in other words, you can't write a native Windows application that will retrieve this data directly. 

    If you are interested in exploring the data communications through CCS, I suggest you take a look at the Debug Server Scripting (DSS). Its functionality allows, among other things, download data from the target to a file in the PC and then perform post-processing on it.

    Hope this helps,
