Blackhawk XDS560v2 Emulator does not show in connection list for CCS 5.1

I'm using CCS 5.1 from the installation DVD for TMDSEVM6678.  The suite is up and running, and I've successfully debugged the EVM using the on board USB JTAG emulator (TI XDS100v1 USB Emulator).  I purchased a Blackhawk XDS560v2 System Trace emulator to give me more debugging speed and power, but it does not show up in the Connection List under CCS.

First, I tried to grab a driver from within the CCS installation folder, because Blackhawk claimed that drivers were included in CCS 4.x and higher.  Windows could not find a driver, so I ended up using the driver that came on the CD from Blackhawk.  It shows up properly in device manager:

But does not show up when I boot CCS and try to define a new target configuration:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    I am almost sure you did not select the Blackhawk emulator support when installing CCS... That would prevent the target configuration editor to show the relevant emulators and not install the emulation device drivers. 

    You can try to re-run the CCS installer and point to the existing installation directory to add components to the current installation. Keep in mind that sometimes the updater fails if any component was updated afterwards, thus requiring a full reinstall (the installer does that to prevent breaking compatibility between components).

    Another important detail: the use of standalone a XDS560v2-class emulator requires a full license of CCS to properly work - for the time being you can set the Free Trial license and use CCS for 90 days. For that, check the two references below:

    Hope this helps,
