Manually loading a program to a target and running with CCS v5

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6455

I need to load and run a .out file on a TMS320C6455 board  using a Blackhawk USB-560m emulator.  In CCS v3.3 I was able to do this very simply through the following steps: Debug->Connect, Debug-> Reset, File->Load Program, and Debug->Run. It was not required to open a project.  Is there an equivalent way to do this with CCS v5?  The interface is very different from V3.3 and I can't find these commands in the menus. 

Thanks,

Dan

    Hi Daniel,

    please try the following from a debug session.  Run->Load->Load Program.

    Keep us informed!

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    One of the differences between CCSv3.3 and CCSv4/CCSv5 is the concept of target configurations - in CCSv3.3 you need to run CCSetup and configure your target (a single target is available per CCS session), but with CCSv4/CCSv5 you must create at least one file that contains both the emulator and the target device - the advantage is you can switch targets without restarting CCS. The procedure to create a target configuration is shown at this section of the CCSv5 Getting Started Guide.

    Although the section above talks about debugging a project, you can also launch the debugger manually from the Target Configurations view. For that, please check the short clips Launching a project target configuration manually and Launching a shared target configuration manually of the Quick Tips page.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Rafael,

    Okay its working now.  The "Launching a shared target configuration manually" method did exactly what I wanted - I was able to load & run my .out file without needing a project.

    Thank you for the help!
