CCS/TMS320C6701: What emulator will work with CCSv6.2 for C6701 DSP?

Part Number: TMS320C6701

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

We have to do make some code changes for an older C6701 project. We are using CCSv6.2 because that's the latest version that has support for the C6701. My question now is, what JTAG emulators can I get that both support the C6701 and work in CCSv6.2? I tried checking the CCSv6.2 release notes but didn't see the answer, maybe I missed it though.

Blackhawk's webpage has a really nice spreadsheet download that lists a ton of TI parts including the C6701 and what emulators support them. I'm not sure which of these will work with CCSv6.2.

Appreciate the help.

    C6701 is still supported by current versions of CCS. I see it in my CCSv9.1.0 installation. The key thing though is that it is no longer supported by the latest version of the compiler. You need v7.x of the compiler and current CCS versions only ship with v8.x. But you can always download and install older versions of the compiler and use it with current CCS versions.

    If you want to stick to CCSv6.2, the XDS510/560/560v2 class debug probes should all support the C6701. If you want to use the latest CCS, then it would be XDS560/560v2 (XDS510 support was dropped starting with CCSv9.0)

    Thanks

    Ki,

    Thanks for the quick response. Good point on using latest CCS then installing older compiler version.

    Ki,

    Uh Oh, I looked at the Blackhawk XDS560V2 on the TI estore and in the description under the heading Devices NOT Supported is the C670x. Do you think this is a mistake on the webpage or it really doesn't support it?

    Here's the link I'm referring to...

    Brad,

    I don't have a C670x board to validate this, but the last information I received was that all C6000 devices prior to C64x+ were dropped support by XDS560v2 - that is what was posted on the product page referenced by you. 

    However, I see that both Blackhawk and Spectrum Digital still mention this specific device family on their product pages, thus it is possible you will be able to make it work with it. 

    I apologize for the confusion,

    Rafael

    The C6701 does show up as an available option for both SD and BH XDS560v2 connections:

    Though I don't have a C6701 to validate that it all works...
