DSK 6455 start

Hi

I'm starting to work on DSK 6455. I installed CCS v5.1 and downloaded the DSK example files from spectrum digital (http://c6000.spectrumdigital.com/dsk6455/v2/). Unfortunately, the CCS doesn't recognize or find any project examples. I tried also to import, but no luck. Any help.

Thank you!

  • Michael,

    The projects supplied with Spectrum Digital's board package were created for an old version of CCS (3.2 to be more precise). Therefore you will need to import it using the option from the menu Project --> Import Legacy CCSv3.3 Project. I then suggest you leave the options as default (leave the project in its original location, create a subdirectory for each Eclipse project, use the default tools supplied with CCSv5) and open the <project.log> file to investigate warnings and errors during the conversion.

    Even with that, there is an issue where the linker still picks some older files, which is easily solved by following the details on this thread.

    Also, you may need to install the Chip Support Library (not sure if it is a requirement).

    The procedure should work fine. I just tested it with the LED example of the same package.

    Hope this helps,

  • Hello Rafael,

    Thank you very much for your answer. Now I can compile it. I still have a problem, when I try to debug it, the connection is not set it up. I went to project properties, I selected at family C6000, at variant I selected TMS32C64xx, but at the second box I have Unknown TMS320C64xx Device. Also, the connection type is disabled.

    Do I miss something?

    Also I think is related to the connection issue, when I try to create a new Target Configuration file with parameters Connection: Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator Board: DSK6455 and tested it I got the following error

    [Start]

    Execute the command:

    %ccs_base%/emulation/drivers/sdjtag.exe -f %boarddatafile% -v -X reset -X scantest

    [Result]

    ** BoardFilePath: C:\DOCUME~1\vlad\LOCALS~1\APPLIC~1\.TI\213602635\0\0\BrdDat\testBoard.dat
    ** Resetting Emulator
         ERROR -- XDS510-USB Emulator not connected/enumerated
    ** Emulator Scan Test
         ERROR -- XDS510-USB Emulator not connected/enumerated

    [End]

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards,

    Michael

  • Michael,

    I suppose you are already aware of the procedure to create a target configuration, therefore I would check if the board is properly recognized by Windows (check in Control Panel's Device Manager). The page below covers a good strategy to troubleshoot these issues:

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

    Since the board is manufactured by Spectrum Digital, I also recommend following their JTAG Emulator Guide (link is shown at the page above).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • Rafael,

    Thank you very much for all your help. I found what was the problem. I need to turn on SW3-4 for boot load (previously all the switches where off). Also, for the target configuration I selected Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator for the connection and DSK6455 for board.
