TMS320C6747 issues with CCSv6

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSOSKL137

Hi there,

I'm trying to run some example code for my new C6747 evaluation kit and I keep running into issues. I've installed all the necessary drivers, but when I try to debug it says that the C6747 is being held in reset. So I tried the instructions here, but when I try to Launch Selected Configuration I'm told that my licence file isn't valid. I had a look in my registered software on the TI site, and there's no licence file to download.

I figured I'd just sign up for the evaluation version in the mean time of sorting out that licence, but now I'm getting error code 60016 - Required file for activating evaluation licence is missing.

After paying a small fortune for this kit I'm pretty irritated that there's minimal up to date documentation and I can't even get it to run hello world code. Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Apart from the missing evaluation licence file, surely I don't need to pay for a full CCS licence just to play with my already expensive DSP?

Cheers.

    If I have to purchase a full licence to use this evaluation board, is there any student/academic discount available for CCSv6? Or should I just use the provided CCSv3.3? I feel I'm going to run into issues with CCSv3.3 if I want to use the latest TI RTOS on the board.

    Troy,

    Are you using the OMAPL137 found here: http://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSOSKL137?  I don't have that specific EVM handy to test but one thing to check might be dip switch settings if there are any.  See the Hardware Setup section here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_Guide_for_C6747.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's the EVM I'm using.

    I feel a bit embarrassed as the boot switch was incorrectly configured. I've fixed that, but I'm still having the issue with the licencing. It does look like this EVM uses the XDS510, which the pop up message I'm getting says is a restricted connection for the free licence. That said, in the same pop up message it says that EVM's with on-board emulation are permitted with the free licence, so I'm a bit confused since the XDS510 is on-board.

    In the kit comes a collection of decade old software and documentation, but I can't find anything like a special licence that I can install. As a student I'm in a bit of a tough position since it looks like I've got an expensive paperweight. It doesn't look like there is any real student discount for CCS available either.

    Another point I'd like to try to fix is that I can't even activate the 90 day trial, as I get a message (error code 50016) that the file for activating the evaluation licence is missing.

    What Connection type have you specified in the CCS Target Configuration?

    If you select a "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM PLUS onboard USB Emulator" I think you may be able to use the free CCS license.
