CCS/TMS320C6713B: what is latest CCS version for C6713?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, I'm trying to use a legacy custom board with a 'c6713 (TMS320C6713B) and a Blackhawk USB200 JTAG emulator. The custom board electrically is very similar to the DSK6713.

I am successfully using CCS (v7.4.0) and a newer custom board based on a 'c6748, so I can do the basics of connecting to a new board from CCS (JTAG, ccxml, gel, etc).

When I try to set up a new ccxml Target Configuration file for the legacy C6713 board, however, I don't see the C6713 as a device option (Under "General Setup", "Board or Device"). I have also tried CCSv7, CCSv6, CCSv5, and did not see an option for C6713 devices.

But in the linked e2e post ("related question"), it sounds like there is a way to use CCS v7.4 with the C6713? How do I set up a ccxml file for C6713 and CCSv7?

Thank you very much!

Jim,

CCSv8.3 has support for C6713 devices, but the main issue is the choice of Debug Probe: XDS200-class Debug Probes do not support it.

In this scenario you will need a different Debug Probe: both the legacy XDS510USB or the newer XDS560v2, which are also supported by CCSv8.3 (XDS510 support will cease when CCSv9 is released this month).

Keep in mind that you will also have to install an older version of the C6000 Compiler to be able to build projects on this new release. Check the thread below for details.

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply, Rafael!

I dug out an old Blackhawk USB510L and was able to make a C6713 target configuration file.
