CCS4.0 Connection Problem to OMAP-L137 EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L137

I have been unable to make an emulator connection to the OMAP-L137 EVM using CCS4.0.  I can work with CCS3.3.

I'm using a direct USB cable between the PC and EVM.

The SdConfigEx v4 utility indicates everything is fine and can recognize the JTAG device.

Launching the debugger in CCS4.0 is very slow, but the Debug window eventually comes up (but disconnected)

When I hit connect the program hangs and I have to kill the application.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris

    Chris,

    To use the onboard usb emulator on the OMAPL137 EVM you need to select the "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM PLUS onboard emulator" as the connection type.  I was just playing with this and I noticed that when you do this OMAPL137 doesn't show up as a compatible device.  Go into ccsv4\common\targetdb\devices and backup the OMAPL137.xml file and replace it with the attached one.  This will make it show up.  I don't have a board at the moment to test this out but there was definitely a problem in that xml file.

    As this is a device specific and not a board specific file I would go into the advanced settings and change the GEL file for the dsp to:

    ..\..\emulation\boards\evmomapl137\gel\evmomapl137_dsp.gel

    and for the arm to:

    ..\..\emulation\boards\evmomapl137\gel\evmomapl137_arm.gel

    John,

    I tried the XML file you attached.  I'll be using a C6747 in our custom hardware so I selected EVM6747.  I also tried EVMOMAP137 to see if I could connect.  Neither of these worked.

    However, a problem with ctool.dll seems to be on the right track.

    I have a EVM6455.

    I couldn't get CCSv4 to work until I removed all other versions of CCS. The product CD for EVM6455 includes CCSv3.2.

    SpectrumDigital support said "having multiple CCS versions can be problematic".

    I guess its the same for all targets, boards and emulators.

    I believe the issue is less CCS itself and more of if you are using SD USB emulation and if you have multiple versions of the SD emulation drivers installed (ex. SD drivers for CCS 3.2, 3.3, 4.0, etc). It may be causing some confusion and you may need to do some clean up. This is a good guide: http://support.spectrumdigital.com/guides/regclean_guide/

    Thanks

    Agreed!
