CCS/TMDX5535EZDSP: TMDX5535EZDSP

Luis Rivera48

Part Number: TMDX5535EZDSP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5535

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The eZdsp C5535 comes with CCS V4.X. I tried installing on my PC with Windows 10. I got an incompatibility error that V4.X is not compatible with Windows 10 environment. That is not good. Is there a patch or workaround on this issue. I would think others with eZdsp has the same issue. What is the fix? I am eager to start using my purchase.

Hello,
CCSv4 is very old and never validated on WIndows 10. Since CCSv4 is no longer supported, it is recommended to update your CCS version to something more current. Current versions of CCS supports the eZdsp C5535.

Thanks

Hi,

As you noticed, CCSv4x is quite old. We strongly recommend using a much newer version of CCS (both v7 and v8 support C55x) and you can add support for it by selecting the C55x family of devices during install and performing the two additional steps mentioned in the post below to install the remaining components:

Hope this helps,
Rafael

I used another computer with WIN 10 and installed CCS V8. I am a EE with a DSP background, but I am new in using CCS and I am using a text book, Real Time Digital Signal Processing by Kuo, as a guide. Unfortunately, he use the C5505 eZdsp instead of the C5535 eZdsp. The steps from his book are not shown exactly as I see them in CCS V8, but I can figure where to navigate around to find responds to the steps. I reach to a point where stems the issue. I wrote a simple "Hello world" in my main.c and saved it. I went in the TMS320C5535.ccxml and select the "Basic" option, but I don't see the XDS100v2 USB Emulator for my eZdsp C5535. I can only find USBSTK5505 and when I select this one. I went through the options, 16-Bit and Large memory selected. Then I went on the linker to C5535.cmd and add it to the project. I launched to the configuration and could not find the USB Emulator 0/C55XX. At this point, I am so confused. I spent all night trying to figure how to run a simple Hello world on the Monitor Console ( I think?). Is there any guide I can use to figure how to use CCS V8 on my eZdsp CC5535 and run my simple Main.C program. If it exist, this will help me to prepare the settings on the CCS V8 environment using my eZdsp C5535 USB Stick. After that, I can write future DSP programs with the knowledge how to set CCS V8 properly and run my program. Even a simple quide that can get me throught the CCS V8 settings with a simple run of the program. Anything.

There should definitely be an option for the eZdsp C5535 with XDS100v2 with CCSv8

This option is not visible?

I created a basic "hello world" program in CCSv8 for the ezdsp C5535. It worked for me. I attached the project to this thread. Please import it into your CCS environment and try it out:

On the Basic tab, I do get "Texas Instrument XD100v2 USB Debug Probe" for Connection. But I do not get "EZDSP5535" as a selection to check after I typed 5535 in the "Board or Device" box. I get only TMS320C5535 only as a choice.

By the way, I tried the Update in the help menu. The response is no update available.

hmm... now that I think of it, I suspect that you may need to have the spectrum digital support package installed to get that option. While the package is part of the overall CCS installation package, it is not installed by default. You need to explicitly select it in the install wizard. Try rerunning the installer over your existing installation directory. The installer will detect an existing installation and give you the option to add additional components that were not selected the first time.

Thanks
