CCS/TMS320F28335: eZdsp f28335 driver software, Windows 10

Part Number: TMS320F28335

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I've been trying to get my old Spectrum Digital eZdsp TMS320F28335 board working with ccs 7.3.0 

I've been round the loop of reinstalling and updating everything I can think of.

It seems the same problem as in this old thread

I really need this to work as I'm remotely developing some software. Seems like the only workaround is to install XP on a VM?

    Hi Michael,
    I just tried connecting to the same eZdsp with CCSv7.3.0 on my native Windows 10-64 laptop (with latest updates). It connected fine. Hence it seems like it *should* work with Windows 10. What connection type are you using? You should be using "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onbaord USB Emulator" as the Connection type.

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm using "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onbaord USB Emulator" see .ccxml below. I think the problem is with the windows drivers not being installed. In device manager - properties I get "The drivers for this device are not installed".

    Assuming you selected the option to install the spectrum digital drivers when you installed CCS (which I'm sure you did since you have the option to select Spectrum Digital for your connection type), the required drivers should have gotten installed.

    Can you check that the following file exists: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\sdusb2em.sys

    If it does, try manually selecting that driver for it in Device Manager

    Thanks

    "sdusb2em.sys" does not exist anywhere on my machine.

    CORRECTION. It was in "C:\Program Files (x86)\SpectrumDigital\Emulation\Drivers\amd64"
    Once I pointed device manager at that it connected and the debugger started! Many thanks for your help.
