CCS CODE COMPOSER STUDIO FOR ABSOLUTely beginner

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2812

Good time!

excuse me about my english.

I am AVR developer, never used DSP like TMS320 before. Today i installed CCS composer studio and can not work with TMS320F2812 DSP processor/ The message i see is " No build-tools are currently installed for this device-family. Click 'View > CCS App Center' to install the build-tools before creating a project for this device." But i can not finde "CCS App Center" in "View" menu of Getting Started window. What to do? How to install TMS320F2812 support?

Thank you! But it is only the first question i meet. I think it will be more questions ...

  • Hello,
    What exact version of CCS are you using? And when you installed CCS, did you do a custom install? It sounds like you didn't install the build tools for C2000. Also explain what you did to see the message. Did you create a new project or import an existing example?

    Thanks

  • I use CSS 6.0.1. I used installation by defoult, but installer asced me many options. I chose C200 to install.

    I see message when i trie to create new project after chosing device TMS320F2812 and before selecting "Connection". But i have no any hardware to debug, so i do not know how to run SCC in processor simulation mode

    The "Connection" drop menu is:

    - Data snapshot wiever

    - TI dxs560 emulator

    - TI DXS560 emulator, 2 pin cJTAG with external converter

    - TI DXS560 emulator, 20 pin rev-D cabel

    - TI DSX100v1 USB emulator

    - TI DXS100v2,3 USB emulator

    - TI DXS2xx USB emulator

    - TI DXS2xx onboard USB emulator

    - TI DXSICDI USB emulator

    - UART connection

    What must i do?

    One more question. Where can i obtain any JTAG device to debug my future project in-system? (TMS320C(F)2xx series)

    Thank you!

    Note that CCSv6 does not support any simulators. You will need hardware to debug your project

    There are a lot of low cost kits with embedded JTAG but those are for newer devices. The F2812 is an old device. There is a F2812 eZdsp with onboard parallel JTAG connection (very slow) that is still available if you need an F2812 board.

    This board was pretty popular many years ago so there probably a lot of documentation and guides for it.

    Thanks

  • Thank you for your answers!

    I wander that F2812 is old device, it is not good news for me ...

    Project i want to develop is guitar effect processor, such effects as long delay.sound record to RAM, Distortion, compression, equaliser. So processor i need must have external memory interface for about 2-4 M x16 bit SRAM, or as so DDR2-3, support floating point/fixed point operations and MAC with 16-bit signed numbers. The best way it will be USB and SD card interfaces to support. Can anybody hekp to chose TI TMS320 processor for such project? 

    Great respect!

    Considering that the F2812 has limited support, I'd recommend a newer processor for sure.

    I would not recommend the 28x DSP family for this. I'm thinking more of a C67x single core DSP. I'd ask around in the C67x DSP forums for advice:

  • TMS320C67xx is really good DSP for my project, amd i ve found TMS320C6722/26/27 with all thimgs i need: 133-MHz SDRAM, UHPI32, audio interface and 300 MHz clock frequency. This is really better for me then c28xx series. Thank yuo! But what hardware (jtag) or KIT can i use with CCS6.0.1 to debug project? Thank you one more time!
  • I suggest you ask your question in the C67x single core forum (the url I provided in my last post). They can help you best.

    Thanks
