My tools:

OS: win7

CCS: V7

    Dariush,

    What version of SYS/BIOS are you using?

    Dariush,
    targets and platforms are supplied by SYS/BIOS (or any of the product containing SYS/BIOS such as Simplelink SDK, TI-RTOS, etc.). There should be a version of SYS/BIOS in the list of Products and Repositories. If you select one of the available versions, do the fields Target and Platform get populated?

    Hi

    I selected the available SYS/BIOS version and the fields Target and Platform didn't get populated. The CCS printed a sentence that said " Please specify the Target manually. " as below:

    Please guide me.

    How can I specify the fields Target and Platform manually?

    Regards

    Your previous screenshot was displaying XDCtools 3.31, while the last one uses XDCtools 3.23. There is a significant difference between those two because XDCtools releases after 3.30 don't contain targets and platforms. As I mentioned earlier, they were moved to SYS/BIOS.

    So, there are two alternatives. The first one is to try to type in a target and a platform and see if that helps. If you are building for ELF, the target would be ti.targets.elf.C64P, while for COOF the target would be ti.targets.C64P. As for the platform, there is ti.platforms.dsk6455 and also ti.platforms.evm6457. Although evm6457 points to a different device, the internal memory map seems to be the same. Both of these platforms have some external memory configured, so I would have to know more about the amount of the external memory on your board to tell you which one is a better fit.

    The second option is that you upgrade XDCtools and SYS/BIOS to the newest versions you can, and then we can see if that combination figures out your target automatically.

    Hi

    Thank you so much, I can be made and run an SYS/BIOS project on my board by configuration as below:

    Now I want to have ethernet connection,

    Q 1:

    Is there an example NDK (like client example) project under SYS/BIOS V6.33.6.50 for C6455 that I use for my base project?

    or a sample "*.cfg" file?

    Q 2:

    Does NDK 2.21.2.43 support the target?

    Q 2:

    How can I upgrade my SYS/BIOS and XDCTOOLS?

    Q 4:

    I couldn't find any PDF reference for learning CCS V7, Can you introduce me some references?

    Regards

    Dariush,
    you can get XDCTools and SYS/BIOS from downloads.ti.com/.../index.html and downloads.ti.com/.../index.html. As for your other questions, I think you should post a new NDK question and someone who knows more about it will answer.
    As for CCS help, click on Help->Help Contents, and you will see Code Composer Studio Help in there. It's not a PDF file but that's the best source of CCS help that I am aware of.
