CCS 4.2 interfacing C5510 DSK

Hello,

I am having problem with CCS 4.2.1.00004 debugging TMS320VC5510 DSK board (OS: win7 x64) using on-board usb emulator.

It seems that I successfully installed the driver for the emulator because in hardware manager appears-> "Spectrum Digital TMS320C5510 DSK" without any conflicts.

When I am trying to run the simplest test application:

void main(void)
{
    int a = 12;
    int b = 23;
    int c;
   
    c = a+b;
    while(c);
}

debbugger is loading application and without any error message informs that:

"C55xx_0: GEL Output: Gel StartUp Complete."

and does not allow to do anything more: no connect, disconnect or any other debug actions are available.

The on-board emulator LED is flashing during program loading but the emulator itself cannot get to the debug state (with breakpoint set at the first line in the main function as usual).

Despite the emulator is successfully installed (or it seems to be) and somewhat responds to CCS4 I am not also able to run self test using external tools like: C5510 Diagnostic Utility. Also sdConfigEx v4 do not recognizing any connected emulator.

Is there any solution of this problem. I am enclosing additional files related to debugger.

Thank You in advance for any help.

    This message indicated that you started a debug session and that the associated GEL StartUp function completed successfully. It does not mean your program loaded successfully.

    How are you starting a debug session? Are you using the "Debug Active Project" option? Or are you manually starting a debug session? If you do not have any debug actions available, maybe you closed the debug view?

    How are you starting a debug session? Are you using the "Debug Active Project" option?

    Yes, usually by clicking the worm icon on CCS panel or Debug Active Project from 'Target' menu.

    Of course debug view is opened. What is more I think debug session is somewhat active: because the red square icon is active to 'Terminate' debug session. After clicking the emulator on board is flashing and debugger in CCS is turned off.

    What can be a reason that program is not loaded? An out file is produced after project build and is declared as an output file in the debug properties.

    Now I understand- You mean debug view started from 'View->Debug' - this really solves the problem. I thought about the debug perspective as the debug view, my mistake.

    Thank You. Best Regards.
