Hi,

I am testing an F28035 MCU CAN network using 2 MCUs. And I am using CCS 3.3.83.19 IDE

1st I double click on the ion of Setup CCStudio v3.3

select 2 F28035 XDS100USB instances, they appear on the left column.

One named "F28035 XDS100USB" and the other named "F28035 XDS100USB_1", Save & Quit, start CCS on exit. CCS starts and they show up in the parallel debug manager. I open a CCS window for each of them by double click on each TMS320C2800_0

Here is the problem, When I load the compiled code on each window, I try the Blink LED program just to test the system, Only 1 MCU runs. The other is halted. When I halt the running one, and the other window can run now, but the same MCU is blinking... This is confusing!

How can I develop on both MCU by using 1 PC. Is it even possible? Do I have to use 2 PCs or virtual machine ??

Thanks a lot for any suggestion!

I'm interested in this as well, but for multiple F2812's in CCS4.2 with multiple XDS510USB's. Is this possible to do on one machine?

Yes. See: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/40556/141277.aspx#141277

Just make sure you specify different port addresses for each (0x510 for the first, 0x511 for the second, etc)

Thanks

I know it is possible to use two XDS100 emulators at the same time with v4. I'm not sure if this is possible with v3.3.

It looks like there is not a easy way...

I ended up using 2 PCs for the task

By the way, how can I get CCS4? I brought the TI product F28035 the the CD comes with it is CCS 3

And I check the TI website and it looks like CCS4 is not free for download.

The Code Composer Studio Product Folder shows 3 options. Choose the Free Download. This takes you to a page on the TI Embedded Processors Wiki site (also a very good resource by the way) to actually download CCS. On that page, you will see a note that with the use of the XDS100 emulator, CCS v4 can be used with a free license.
