Can free evaluation version CCS 5.2 on OPENSUSE 12.1 Linux do cycle simulator for C6415?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6416, TMS320C6415

Hi,

I want to do some C6415 cycle simulator with CCS 5.2. I download free evaluation (90 day trial) on TI website. I install it on OPENSUSE 12.1 Linux. I create a simple Hellp project as the first trial. After I set the target type etc., compiling, I want to debug it, there is the following message in the pop up box:

.........................
TMS320C6416: GEL: File: /home/je/workspace_v5_2/project1/Debug/project1.out Does not match the target type, not loaded.
....................
 
As I check the debug configuration, the target does be C6416. I suspect the free trial version does not support C64 cycle simulator? Or, it has problems with OPENSUSE 12.1?
 
I used to work on CCS3.1, unfortunately it cannot work on my Windows 7. I hope the trial CCS5.2 can work on my new machine, either Windows version (I have not tried windows version) or Linux (I am trying now).
 
Thanks.
  • Hi,

    This issue comes from a clash between the device chosen for the project and the target. Can you double check if you inadvertedly selected a C64x+ device? I do this all the time...

    The C64x simulator is provided in CCS for Linux and works with both the evaluation and the free limited licenses - check the section Supported ISAs / Device Families of the page below:

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

    Obviously that does not rule out possible issues with the interaction between OpenSUSE and CCS, but that would be my first line of investigation.

    I will also check my Linux CCS installed in Ubuntu and see if I get a similar issue as yours.

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    I just confirmed and was able to run a small project for C6415 on my Ubuntu 12.04 PC...

    I used CCSv5.2.0.00069, created a project for TMS320C6415 and used the C64xx CPU Cycle Accurate Simulator, Little Endian

    Please check the attached project with its companion .ccxml file...

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
