TMS320C32 + Emulator problem

Hi,

I need to debug a board using TMS32C032. I have the emulator (USB) and using CC C3x C4x software. But when I open the Code Composer, I got an error.

Can't Initialize Target DSP
I/O Port = 240
Board Name: sdgo3x
Cpu name: CPU

What should I do to solve this problem. I'm new to DSP.

Note: The Driver should be ok as I did check the hardware in Microsoft Control Panel.

The Emulator has powered from the target board.

I'm using MPSD. The wring should be fine. PD has 5V

Thanks.

  • Andy,

    Given that you are new to DSP do you need to start with the C32?  While it is a nice floating point platform it is extremely old and the tools for it are equally old and unsupported.

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I need to add some new functions on this old chip.

    I can get the emulator working fine now.

    I'm reading SPRU296, "Code Composer User's Guide", page 5-2. I'm trying to store the variable to a file. I can get the watch window working. But I can't connect the variable to the file I/O.

    In point 2 on page 5-2, File->File I/O, it asks for a COFF file which I do not have. I've created an empty COFF file using notepad. (How to create an empty .out file?). In Point 5, I tried to connect the variable to the I/O file, but it said NO CONNECTION after I clicked OK. Any help will be great. Thx.
