CCS/TIDEP0066: Which connection/Debug Probe should I choose to connect with EZDSP5535 evaluation board

Part Number: TIDEP0066


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I was trying to repeat the Speech Recognition experiment on Speech Recognition Reference Design on the C5535 eZdsp document. However, I have a few problems.

I installed 

• CCS (the demonstration was tested with v6.1.2)

• DSP/BIOS™ real-time operating system v5.42.0.7

• TIesr Speech recognition software package

• C55XCSL-LOWPOWER-3.00.00.02 (This design assumes the CSL is installed at the following Windows path: C:\c55xx_csl_3.00)

exactly the same version on a Windows 7 PC. 

C55XCSL-LOWPOWER-3.00.00.02 doesn't seem to support C5535. I had to manually add #define CHIP_C5535 in general.h and add CHIP_C5535 support in other head files to pass compiling. If I install the latest version, which is 3.08.01, there is no cslVC5505 project. Also in 3.08.01 I2Cread function has changed and not compatible with TIesrDemo55 package downloaded.

So I would like to ask which version of C55XCSL is the correct version for C5535 eZdsp board? 

Another problem is after I compiled the code successfully I did not know which Debug probe I should choose. It is a bit confusing as there are many options. I tried to select different ones and use test connection to test. None was successful. 

I would like to ask which Debug Probe should I choose for eZdsp board? Is there any detailed document explaining how to load the program to eZdsp board with Debug Probe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please search the page below for the board name. It explains the settings to configure the CCS Debugger.

    As you mentioned, there seems to be incompatibilities between the two CSL versions used. Since the device variants are quite similar and the TIDEP0066 manual instructs you to use very specific component versions, I would stick with them.

    The cslVC5505 dependent project is the C55XXCSL_LP project in the newer version - just a name change, which can be configured in the project Properties --> Build --> tab Dependencies.

    The newer API for I2CRead has two more options (timeout and checkBus), but their implications are not entirely understood by me. I will notify some CSL experts to comment further. 

    To build the newer CSL 3.08 for the C5535 DSP, check section 3.3 of its Installation guide PDF.
