CCS v4 for L138 eXperimenter board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO, OMAPL138

I can't see the logicpd L138 eXperimenter board listed as a target configuration in CCS v4. Is it possible to configure CCS v4 for this board?

    Hi, 

    I have a related question, I am using both the OMAPL137 and L138 EVM boards. Each comes with their own CCS installer. Can I just run the 138 CCS installer over the top of the 137 install or will that clobber something?

    CCS V3.3 for L137 EVM and for L138 eXperimenter, installed from the two different CDROMs that came with those boards (and CCS v4) co-exist on my computer. What I did is that before I installed the second CCS v3.3 I renamed C:\CCStudio_v3.3 C:\CCStudio_v3.3_L137 and installed the second instance as C:\CCStudio_v3.3. When I want to use the L137 board I first rename C:\CCStudio_v3.3 (for L138) C:\CCStudio_v3.3_L138 and then rename C:\CCStudio_v3.3_L137 C:\CCStudio_v3.3. CCS v4 works with the L137 but I'm now unclear as to how or if I can configure it for the L138.

    Hope this helps.

    If a target does not show up in the Basic setup list, you can use the Advanced setup tool to build it. However this requires some detailed knowledge of the target itself.

    Assuming that CCS v4 uses the same .ccs files for board configurations (that are used for CCS3), For CCS3, if you register the EVM board in logic PD website you can download the BSL. Inside the bsl you can find the .ccs file that you can import to CCS at:

    ...\omapl138_bsl_20090707\omapl138_bsl_20090707\bsl\ccs\

    You can use the EVMC6747 configuration in CCSv4. However, you will need to provide the location of the freon_evm.gel for the initialization script.  

     

    Where is the freon_evm.gel file? 

    Once you register your board you will be able to get the bsl.  This file will be located at "../omapl138_bsl_20090707/bsl/ccs"

     

    In CCSv4 when you create your target configuration file, select the Texas Instruments XDS100 USB Emulator connection, and the EVMC6747 device.  Save the configuration and proceed to select the advanced tab at the bottom.  Expand the configuration and select the C674X_0 connection.  On the right provide the location for the freon_evm.gel at the initialization script location.  From this you should be able to connect to the DSP.  This configuration does not support connection to the ARM.

From this you should be able to connect to the OMAPL138.  

     

    These are not supported configurations but should work for you; give it a try.

    I'm a little confused. I've registered the board at logicpd.com and downloaded the bsl. However, I'm not seeing exactly the filenames you are referring to. Have I got a different (later?) version of the bsl?

    I can see, for example 

    evmomapl138_v1/import/OMAPL138_sdxds510usb.ccs - the kind of file Mariana is referring to?

     and also

    evmomapl138_v1/gel/OMAPL138_DSP.gel - what you are referring to as freon_evm.gel?

    I had some trouble getting CCS v4 working with an L137 EVM - sorted yesterday - and it will be later today before I can try using the L138.

    It seems we in fact have different versions.  You have the latest versions of the files.  Therefore you should use OMAPL138_DSP.gel for the initialization script for C64XP and OMAPL138_ARM.gel for the initialization script for ARM9_0.
