CCS 4 + XDS100 + C6713

Hello,

I am building custom board with C6455 and C6713. On TI wiki I found information how to create a driver for CCS 4 and XDS100 to work with C6455. However I have problems to build similar driver for C6713 connection. On the mentioned site it is stated as follows:

"The XDS100 is built on XDS510 technology. Since this is the case, the XDS100 uses the existing XDS510 drivers. So, by default, CCSv4 is shipped with drivers that can be used with any device that works with the XDS510."

Thus I assume that is possible... Can anyone help me to do it ?

    Would you please link to where this is mentioned? I was under the assumption that the XDS100 would still only work with specific devices based on this section in the Wiki.

    If this was on a Wiki article based on C2000 this would make sense as the XDS100 was originally designed for the C2000 platform.

    Here is the source of this information:

    http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Using_the_XDS100_with_a_64x%2B_Device

    (section "Summary" on the bottom of the above page)

    I think that when taken out of context that sentence could appear misleading; however, please see the first sentence from the Overview at the top of the page:

    The XDS100 Emulator initially supports only the C28x and the TMS320C674x Families of devices.

    This page is about how to prepare driver to run XDS100 with C6455 under CCS4, does it mean that whole page is misleading?

    I apologize, I rushed out my last answer without actually taking into account the fact that the page was about creating a C64x+ XDS100 driver. I spent some time trying to figure out how this might work for a C671x target but I am getting stuck trying to find a driver for the C671x family. The second bullet of the "How to" section states to change the ISA type from C674X to C64XP; however, you might notice that the driver file remains the same. Because the C674x is a hybrid C64x+/C67x+ core the emulation driver used for the C674x is the same as the other C64x+ devices.

    Because this is not true for the C671x family the driver file would need to change as well. This is where I get stuck because there is no tixds671x.dvr. Because there appears to be no TI XDS510 driver for the C671x family I think it is safe to say this will not work for this family at this time.

    *edit* I just received confirmation from our emulation team that the XDS100 does not support the C6713 at this time.

     I have done the same investigation and came to the same conclusion that tixds671x.dvr is essential. However You have the best information source: can You check if the support for C671x will be added in the nearest future. For my project it is good to know that. Thank You in advance.. [:)]

    >>the XDS100 does not support the C6713 at this time

    Does this mean it IS possible?.

    If so, does TI intend to do this and what is the time frame?.

    thanks

    Steve,

    To date, there are no plans to have C6713 support on XDS100.

    Steve,

    I am not aware of any physical restrictions or hardware incompatibilities, but currently the C6713 is not supported by the XDS100. I cannot state definitively whether or not it will in the the near or far future but right now it does not.

    For what it is worth there is a roadmap page you can follow on the wiki: http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Xds100#Roadmap
