CCS/TMDSEVM5517: No driver found

I have already downloaded all the relevant files as well as others that I thought may be the necessary file, but upon updating the driver, even when browsing to the exact folders, no driver is found. 

I have both the downloads from this page: http://www.ti.com/tool/sprc133

As well as a download suggested in another thread: c5000.spectrumdigital.com/.../dsk5510_setup.exe

Is there something I'm missing for this specific reference design?

Kira,

Does the board have an FDTI chip on it close to the USB port?  The product page for this board mentions that it has an XDS100 debug probe on it vs the Spectrum Digital DSK/EVM eZdsp.

Hi John,

Thanks for the help. I was finally able to launch the target configuration when switching to XDS100v3 for the connection. However, I'm running up on another error when trying to connect the target. I get the following message:

"Error connecting to the target:

(Error -600 @ 0x0)
A required dynamic library could not be located.
The library isn't on the search path.
(Emulation package 6.0.222.0)"

Do you know what this is referring to?

Also no, I don't see an FDTi chip near the port.

Thanks,

Kira

Kira,

That error usually means that some dll that the debug software is dependent on is not present.  It can also happen if it is not detecting an XDS100 at all.  

If there is no FTDI chip on that board then it means that it is not an XDS100 even though that is what the product webpage says.  I found another thread that refers to the onboard Spectrum debug probe.

What version of CCS are you running?  Just a heads up that if it is a Spectrum onboard debug probe it is not going to work with CCSv9 and later as the software for that is 32bit and CCSv9 is a 64bit application

Hi John,

I am running CCSv6 as that's what the reference design recommended I use. I had my CCS target configuration set up exactly as it is explained in the wiki for the C5517EVM, which is the same as what is explained in the thread you attached, however, it did not launch when I set the connection to Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB emulator but it did launch when set to XDS100.

The wiki I followed is here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C5517_General_Purpose_EVM_User_Guide#Software_and_IDE_Configuration

Temo video and reference design I am following are here:

Again, the device still shows up in my device manager as "unknown device" with no driver able to be found. This happens whether the Spectrum Digital or the XDS100 is set as the connector. I think the main issue here is the driver and I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks, Kira

Kira,

You could try a newer version of CCS as v6 is pretty old.  CCSv8.3.1 would have the latest Spectrum digital drivers bundled.

Does the board have a 14pin JTAG header on it?  If so another option would be to try an external XDS100v2.

Kira,

I managed to find a 5517 EVM.  It definite has the Spectrum Digital eZdsp debug probe on it.

When I connect the 5V power supply and connect the USB cable (opposite corner from the power supply) labelled EMU USB I get a red LED by the power connector and a green LED near the Spectrum label (DS2).

In device manager I see:

So that is what you want to see vs the unknown device.

I am then able to create a simple project in CCS and load it onto the device:

Try to use a short USB cable that makes a solid connection.  Avoid using a USB hub.

Worst case there is a JTAG header next to the USB connection and a cheap debug probe like an XDS100v2 could be connected to.  I tried an external XDS100v2 and that worked fine.  I was also able to use the newer XDS110.

Kira,

Great to hear that it is working.
