What code composer to use with DM6467?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello,

Me and my partner (we both students) received the DM6467 Da-Vinci platform and installed CCS3,
In the document "What’s New in Code Composer Studio Development Tools v 3.0" it says that the IDE supports only C6000,

Do I need to install another CCS, or maybe there some kind of path to support DM6467?

* It's first time we use TI instruments, so it's hard to understand where to begin with.

Thanks you, Stas.

  • Stas,

    You would need to get at least CCSv3.1.  However I would recommend that you use CCSv4.  You can download it here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

    If that board had onboard emulation you could use a "free limited license" to work with the board.  If you need to use a standalone emulator their is a 30 day evaluation license and then a 90 day extension that you can use to get through your school term.

    Regards,

  • Thank you John,

    Another small question...
    In the CCS4 page : http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/ccstudio.html?DCMP=dsp_ccs_v4&HQS=Other+OT+ccs
    the OS supported are all windows, while this document: http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2007-August/003886.html
    says that "Windows hosted development is not supported in the DVEVM software - only linux hosted development."

    How do i understand that?

    Thanks again, Stas.

     

  • Stas,

    The tools that come with the DVEVM only run on Linux.  These are the tools for building, configuring and debugging the Linux based software that runs on the ARM9.  CCS is for JTAG based debugging and CCSv4 only supports windows.

    If you want to run everything on a single host OS there is a beta version of CCSv5 that runs on Linux.  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v5

  • Thank you john, i understand.

    I would be happu to know another thing- in the EVM "getting started" guide, there is an example for writing a simple program on the EVM.
    After some configuration steps, he just create a *.C file and run it and there no some IDE at all.
    So, i would like to know, if i have a complex project and this method not good for me, what should i do?

    I read about JTAG Debugging and still haven't exactly understand how it effect my developming.
    Let's say, i write a code in CSS, run it using a simulation, alredy configured the board in linux (virtual machine), could i write the program made in css on the EVM?...

    Thank you again, Stas.
