Can't connect to C6A816x

Hi,

How did you configure CCS to be used with the EVM? Can you send me your .ccxml file? I am not 100% sure if the XDS100v2 supports the C6A816x device (I need to check).

In the meantime can you check if Spectrum Digital is providing any configuration tips for this board? They have a support page that has some information and test software at:

Rafael,

I switched to CCS v5 and a  TI816x platform configuration file is available with XDS510 emulator. (C6A816x/AM386x EVM is shipped with  XDS100v2, so it should work?).

I'd like to connect to DSP but it is held in reset,  and I can't connect to ARM to release it from reset as I did with DM6467T EVM.

C64XP_0: Error connecting to the target: Error 0x80000240/-1180 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS,  The target is being held in reset.  The applied reset must be released before progressing. 

How can I release DSP from reset ?

When I try toconnect to ARM only, Iget this error message. I use gel file from Spectrum Digital website

Hi,

TI816x devices have some CortexM3 cores in them - that's the reason why you can't configure a XDS100v2 emulator with this device.

However, could you please copy the attached file to the directory below?

<CCS_INSTALL_DIR>\ccsv5\ccs_base_5.0.1.00026\common\targetdb\Devices

This file simply is stripped from the M3 cores, therefore it should show if the connection is set to XDS100v2.

Ah, and don't forget to add the GEL file shown in the Spectrum Digital support page. For details on how to do this, please check section Advanced Target Configurations of the CCSv5 Getting Started Guide:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CCSv5_Getting_Started_Guide

Let me know if you are successful, ok?

Best regards,

Rafael

Rafael,

I can connect to the target with XDS100v2 and your configuration file (it works also with XDS510). I only get this error message

ARM9_TPPSS: Failed to retrieve the Wait in Reset Mode: Failed to get PRSC status

I don't have this problem with XDS510

and then it works fine

I can run simple "hello world " program on ARM

I can release DSP from reset.

but  when trying to run a simple "hello world " on DSP, nothing is print out on console.

Thanks for help
