CCS/TMS320VC5509A: TMS320VC5509A device not found inTarget Configuration File

Part Number: TMS320VC5509A

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I installed CCS v9.0.1 (in a PC with Windows 10 x64) to load code to our boards with two DSPs TSM320VC5509A. I chose the C55x family during installation. When it's time to set the Target Configuration File I selected Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Debug Probe (since we are using an XDS200 from SpectrumDigital) but when it's time to select the devices I don't find them when I scroll down. Can you tell me which should I choose instead?

Regards,

Gary

    Gary,

    I just took a look at my v9 install and I am able to select a 5509 device when I have the XDS2xx USB Debug Probe selected fine. If you change the Debug Probe to something else does it show up? You could try selecting Data Snapshot Viewer. That would confirm if the 55x files were installed ok.

    Is this in the Project Wizard or the Target Configuration file editor? I am assuming the target configuration editor.

    Regards,
    John

    Gary,

    I really don't know what may be going on in this case; I can see both devices in my CCSv9.0.1 for Windows.

    Can you check if the XML files C5509.xml and C5509A.xml are present under ccs_base/common/targetdb/devices ?

    You can always try to download and unzip the C55x device support from:

    http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_device_support_files.html 

    (instructions are shown at the page above)

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    John and Rafael, thank you for your prompt response.
    It does show the four 5509 alternatives. But since it shows the devices TSM320VC5504 and the TSM320C5504, as well as the TSM320VC5505 and the TSM320C5504. Why it doesn't show as well the TSM320VC5509A? I know the datasheet says that the TMS320VC5509A is a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) based on the TMS320C55x. I was just unsure if my error:
    The value is '-233' (0xffffff17).
    The title is 'SC_ERR_PATH_BROKEN'.
    was caused by wrong device selection. I will troubleshoot further for the problem then if any of the 5509 selection should be OK.
    Thank you,
    Gary

    Gary,

    Now I understand. The explanation for the missing variant "VC" is given at the post below
    e2e.ti.com/.../2770467

    The two devices (C and VC) are identical from a JTAG standpoint, therefore the difference does not explain the error.

    This error is mentioned in the Debugging JTAG page below (just search for the error number).
    software-dl.ti.com/.../ccs_debugging_jtag_connectivity_issues.html

    Please check the reference above and see if the suggestions help you isolate the issue.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
