Spectrum Digital C5515 ezDSP with CCS 6

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Hi, I am trying to get the Spectrum Digital eZdsp development board to work with Code Composer Studio. I am running CCS 6.1.3 on Windows 10. I couldn't install the older version of CCS included with the dev kit because I am not running Windows 7, so I installed CCS and the USB driver included with the kit separately. This worked, and I can select the USB driver from the list of options when creating / importing projects. To test it out I downloaded the Spectrum sample projects and imported their Switch project.

The project built just fine, but when I try to upload it via the debugger I get an error message that says: 

Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator/C55xx

Error initializing emulator

I though I just needed to download the emulator, but I can't find the version for CCS 6.1. I looked for the download here: http://support.spectrumdigital.com/

Is this board incompatible with CCS 6.1 or am I just looking in the wrong place / for the wrong thing. I really would like to get this working, but if there is no support for it on Windows 10, there is not much I can do.

    I don't use EVM from TI 3rd parties. I would recommend you to stick with TI's EVM boards next time.

    C55xx should be well supported in CCS 6.1.3. The error message seems telling you the emulator can't be found. Can you ensure the emulator is identified by Windows 10? You can open Windows Device Manager to confirm this.

    Can you confirm which Spectrum Digital eZdsp development board you are using.

    If you have a TMS320C5515 eZdsp USB Stick, then that has a Embedded USB XDS100 JTAG Emulator and in the Target Configuration File you have to set the Connection to "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe".

    Adding the target config .ccxml file solved the issue. Thanks!

    I was trying to do the same thing as the questioner, with the TMS320C5515 eZdsp and the latest version of CCS 7.0.

    I had a similar problem, although the error messages I got were "load failed" and "This operation is not supported by this driver".

    I think I found a better place to set the connection than the one suggested above - which requires changing the target configuration file directly.

    In Build Settings / General / Main .. under the section for "Device", it's possible to set "Connection".   

    I set it to "Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe"    (the version v1 also worked) and then I could load and debug.
