XDS510USB driver for C6748

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138, AM1808, TMS320C6748

I am getting ready in anticipation of the arrival of our new board which will be using a C6748 chip.

We will be using CCS3.3 for code development and an XDS510USB JTAG from Spectrum Digital for debuging.

Anybody knows what is the appropriate driver that I need to use so i can connect to the board? SD doesn't seem to provide any drivers for the C6748 chip, or at least I couldn;t find it.

I would also appreciate if somebody could send the link for the CSL that I need to use? Would the generic C6000 CSL work? ANd if yes which chip am I supposed to use?

Finally is there a sample gel file that I can use as a guideline for the initailization of the C6748?

 

thanks,

Evangelos

  • Evangelos,

    The page below contains pretty much everything about connecting a C6748/OMAPL138/AM1808 to CCS:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_connect_to_the_OMAP-L138/C6748/AM1808_EVM_board_using_CCS%3F

    Also, the C674x category contains a vast array of information about this device family, including information about the rCSL (Register CSL) and a C6748 Getting Started Guide (GSG)

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:C674x

    Hope this helps,

  • Rafael,

    thanks for the response and the links. 

    But I still don't know where to find the driver for the Spectrum Digital JTAG support.

    When I try to create a custom board witht he C6748 DSP, I can;t seem to find a driver for that. There is a USB driver for C670x and C6711 family. Is this driver going to work for C6748 as well? I went to Spectrul Digital webpage and there is nothing specific for C6748.

    Thanks,

    Evangelos

     

     

     

  • Evangelos,

    Sorry, I am not sure if I quite understand the issue. Did you check the steps in the section XDS510/560 external emulator - DSP only (C6748 SOM) of the first link I have sent before? If so, is there any step that did not work for you?

    If you are connecting the board to the emulator the instructions above should be enough. If you need to create a custom board due to other devices or a different configuration, please use one the standard configurations (shown in the section above) as a base.

    Regards,

    Rafael

  • Rafael,

    maybe I did not explain properly what my problem is and I got you confused. I apologise for that, but let me try one more time.

    The board we are using is a custom board and it has nothing to do with the kit from LogicMP. Out board will only have one TMS320C6748 with some peripheral memory, FPGAs etc. 

    In order for the CCS to connect to the board using the JTAG I need to create a custom board configuration with one C6748 DSP (and the GEL file that comes with it). By looking at the CCS Setup screen there is no board configuration associated with the C6748. 

    In the first link that you sent me there is a screenshot of the CCS setup screen. Under the "Available Factory Boards" there is support for C6748 chip. I do not have that in my setup. I tried downloading the files from LogicMP, but they are for CCS4.2 and I am using CCS3.3. 

    I would think that what I need is a driver that will provide support for C6748 in CCS Setup, something similar to the "C6416 DSK XDS510 USB emulator" entry, under the Available factory Boards, setup screen (the only reason I mention the C6416 is because I have used it extensively in the past).

    I hope that this makes sense.

    THanks again,

    Evangelos

  • Evangelos,

    I understand now. I got confused because you mentioned you were excited to receive the new C6748 board and I assumed it was a development kit.

    Actually the screen shot shows the C6748 configuration under "Custom boards". This shows up after executing step 3) of the procedure - i.e., when you import the CCS configuration file from the LogicPD package (a file with extension .ccs).

    LogicPD changed their product page and it only shows CCSv4.2 compatible downloads, but they still have the CCSv3.3 compatible package available for download in their support page (you need to register to have access). The location is:

    http://support.logicpd.com/auth/downloads/Zoom%20OMAP-L138%20EVM%20Development%20Kit/

    The advantage of downloading the entire package is that you will also have the GEL files and example code to test the device/board.

    You are right; historically these configurations were always provided by the third party board or emulator manufacturer, since it was difficult for us to support every combination of emulator/board/device in the marketplace. Spectrum Digital and Blackhawk used to add these to the "Factory boards" section of the CCSetup, but others required to import the .ccs file from their install location.

    Please let me know if you still have some trouble with this process, ok?

    Best regards,

  • Rafael,

    I am afraid the provided link seems to be inactive. I automatically get rerouted to the following link:

    http://support.logicpd.com/auth/default.php

    is it possible that I need to have aregistered product, in order to access that link (by the way, I have already registered with LogicMp).

    Can you please double check.

    Regards,

    Evangelos

  • Hi Rafael,

    did you have a chance to verify the validity of the link and/or provide me with a valid one?

    It still doesn't work.

    thanks

    Yes you need to have a registered product and need an account for their website. Once I logged in, I was able to access the content

    I have an account with LogicMp but not a registered product. Is there any other way to get access to the drivers?

    I am not sure if you followed my email exhcange with Rafael, but I am not looking the logicPd SW package.

    I am looking for a driver that would add the C6748 option on teh Spectrum digital custom boards, so I can use it to connect, through JTAG, to our own propriatery board that has C6748. And Rafael suggest to download teh LogicMp package.

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Evangelos

     

    Here is a copy of my corespondance with Rafael, that will help you understand what I am looking for.

  • Hi,

    I am still lookin for a Spectrum Digital JTAG USB driver for the C6748 chipset. I receive our board today and when I try to use one of the C671X driver I get an error message.

    Any ideas where I can find this driver. The logic Mp link is not working for me, since I didn't purchase any porducts from them. Are there any otehr sources form where I can download the driver?

    thanks

  • Hi,
    I've to use TI TMS320C6748 USB to connect with android device for high speed data transmission. Do you provide any driver for it?I need Android device to detect c6748 USB.
