Where are the simulators in CCS5.2?

Hi,

In a fresh complete installation of CCS5.2, I made a test program and tried to run it in the C674x cycle accurate simulator. However I was not able to find the simulator anywhere. I remember in CCS3 you can choose the target device to be a simulator. I suppose in CCS5.2, there is a target configuration file (.CCXML file) for the simulators, but where is it?

I do see the simulator shows up in the Help->About->Installation Details, like this...

TI Simulators 5.2.4.17 com.ti.sim.pack.setup.win32.feature.group Texas Instruments

Thanks

  • Liz,

    You need to create a target configuration file (.ccxml).  You can have one as part of a project or you can create them separately.  Go to View -> Target Configurations.

    This windows shows you all the target configurations that you have created, either as part of projects or separately.

    At the top is a button to create a new target Configuration.  Click on it.  You can then give your configuration a name.  Click Finish.

    The target configuration file will now open in the editor.

    In the connection dropdown select "Texas Instruments Simulator"

    In the device box type 674, this will filter the list of simulators to those that contain the string 674.  The C674x CPU Cycle Accurate simulator should be listed at the bottom.

    Regards,

    John
