CCS/TMS320C6415: Have CCS 2.21 + 4 DSPs, computer upgraded to Windows 10. What CCS version is recommended?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Have product with four 6415s.  Been using CCS 2.21 and Spectrum Digital USB SD510.  Program uses CCS RTOS.  What CCS version supports Windows 10 with least change to existing code?  Thanks.  Any emulator (Spectrum Digital) recommendation?

    Hi,

    You have a somewhat complicated scenario; CCSv2.21 used DSP/BIOS 4.80 (if I recall correctly) and therefore any new version will forcefully require you to migrate to DSP/BIOS 4.90 - this may be doable with CCSv2.21 or you may update to CCSv3.3. Although this version is not officially supported in Windows 10, some users found a way to install it and make it work (under some limitations). Unnecessary to say that you need to thoroughly validate your software under this new DSP/BIOS version. 

    If you intend to use an even newer version of CCS, you would need to update the target software once again to DSP/BIOS5.41 (if using CCSv3.3 as an intermediate step) or the latest 5.42.02.10 if you intent to move to CCSv5.5. This version works very well with DSP/BIOS, including the Real-time analysis tools for debugging. Validation would be again required. 

    Depending on the status of your development and/or maintenace, you may want to instead create a virtual machine with the older Windows as a guest OS and CCSv2.21 to build your code. This will skip the validation efforts. 

    You can then install a newer version of CCS (v5.5 as mentioned above) in the host OS and use either your existing XDS510USB or the newer XDS560v2 (TMDSEMU560V2STM-U or TMDSEMU560V2STM-UE). This will allow debugging. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
