Target configuration for C6A816x/AM389x Evaluation Module in Code Composer Studio 4.2.1.00004?

Frank,

For CA816x, you should use Code Composer Studio 5.0.1 instead, available at: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v5

I am also trying to get my emulator to work with the C6A816x/AM389x Evaluation Module.

I am using a Blackhawk BH-USB0-560BP emulator.

I have downloaded and installed the windows version of CCStudio v5.0.2.

I don't see the C6A816x listed as a device in the lists.

 

What 'Project Type' do you select?

What 'Device Variant' do you select?

Is there some reason why CCS5.01 would be preferred over CCS5.02?

If you are creating a CCS project for the C674x DSP, then choose Project Type = C6000, and under Device variant choose Generic C674x Device. If you are creating a project for the Cortex A8, then choose Project Type = ARM, and under Device variant choose Generic Cortex A8 Device.

Before connecting to target you also need a target configuration file. When creating a new target configuration file, select your emulator under Connection and select TI816x for Device (see screenshot below).

Hope this helps.

No reason. 5.0.2 is actually preferred. If you're referring to the earlier post on this thread that suggested using CCS 5.0.1, it was because it was posted before 5.0.2 was available.

After importing an existing CCS project, where do I look to check the Project type and Device variant selections?  I right click on the project name-->properties and I do not see these.

Thank You for your reply Aarti

 

I am now trying to create a blank DSP/BIOS project

here are my steps

file -> New CCS Project
name project
Next
Project Type : C6000
Next
Additional Project Settings
Next
Project Settings
Device Variant : Generic devices , Generic C674x Device
Next
Project Templates
DSP/BIOS v5.xx Examples, Empty Example
Finish
File -> New DSP/BIOS v5.x Configuration File
DSP/BIOS Configuration, name
Next
DSP/BIOS Configuration, platform

which platform to choose?

TI816x not listed

C674x not listed, but evm6748 & evm6747 are listed
do I choose one of these? if so, wich one?

want C6A816x/AM389x Eval Module HW target

 

Thanks again,

Lyndon

>TI816x not listed

TI816x is found under the Device listings with target configuration.  You must use CCS5 with the c6a816x/am389 EVM, according to Spectrum Digital CCS4 will not work.  Also, it is my understanding that you cannot use DSP/BIOS 5 with the 8168, need to go to SYS/BIOS 6.  No more .tcf files.
