TMS320DM6437 EVM Installation Problem

Hello,
Where did you get the CCSv3.3 install image from? Did you install CCS from the original CD that came with the EVM? That version of CCS is a limited version that just works for that EVM. It sounds like you may have a full CCS version (which is even better).

Thanks

Dear Ki,

Thank you for your response.

Kindly watch this video: "www.youtube.com/watch
My problem is: After I complete the installation of CCSv3.3 from original CD, I tried to install the "DM6437 EVM Drivers and Target Content" from original CD but the "DM6437 EVM CCStudio v3.3" icon does not appear on the desktop.


I don't know WHY????

What Windows version are you using? and Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Can you tell me which CCS version you have installed?

Thanks

System Information: (32-bit Windows)
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3, v.6419 Build 2600

The CCS version: 3.3.38.2

I believe 3.3.38.2 is the standard full installation of CCS. Hence it sounds like you have a full version of CCS.

If that is the case, I recommend:
1. Updating your version of CCS to the latest service patch:
software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv3/CCS_3_3/exports/SR12_CCS_v3.3_SR_3.3.82.13.exe

2. Install the spectrum digital drivers for CCS 3.3:
support.spectrumdigital.com/ccs33/Release-30330/Patch_030330_XDS510USB_22sept2010.zip

Then you can use the CCS Setup utility to configure CCS for your board. I believe that board has an integrated XDS510USB so you can chose that as your emulator and DM6437 for the device.

There is also quite a bit of other supporting documentation and software on Spectrum Digital's site. I recommend going through them:
c6000.spectrumdigital.com/.../

Dear Ki,

When I tried to update the CCS v3.3 version to the latest service patch then this message appear:
"Setup has not found any valid products to update. Your system may already be up-to-date or you are attempting to install a serial update out of sequence. Setup will now abort."

Then I Installed the spectrum digital drivers for CCS 3.3 "support.spectrumdigital.com/ccs33/Release-30330/Patch_030330_XDS510USB_22sept2010.zip" and used CCS Setup utility to configure CCS for my board, but when I tried to start the code composer studio this message appear:
"Your Code Composer does not support the connected target. Device driver name: "C:\CCStudio_v3.3\drivers\sdgoicepick_bypass.dvr"".

It sounds like you have some restricted version. Please contact me via private message so we can better discuss your options.

OK dear, I will.

Thank you for your time :)
