CCS/TMS320C6713B: simulator for dsp kit c6713?

Part Number: TMS320C6713B

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I want to learn about dsp kit tms320c6713 but currently don't have access to  my campus lab due to pandemic and also i cannot afford to buy a new one for me hardware kit tms320c6713,but can i work without kit?Is there any simulation or simulator scenario available that helps me to do my work without actual hardware 

  • The last version of CCS to support simulation is CCSv5.5. Note that this version is very old and unsupported so if you run into problems using it, we can only provide minimal support.

    Thanks

  • Can CCS v 5.5, provide software simulation for dsp kit c6713 in absence of actual hardware kit c6713?

  • CCSv5.5 comes with a C6713 device simulator. What exactly does it simulate? 

    Simulates C67x core, L1D, L1P, L2 Caches, EDMA, QDMA, Timer(2), EMIF interfacing with async & SDRAM memory models, McBSP(2), McASP(2) and interrupt selector. Does not model HPI and I2C. 


    Note it is simulating the device, not the DSK board. 

  • "Note it is simulating the device, not the DSK board. " sorry i couldn't understand this. If i want to check,whether i wrote proper code for dsp kitc6713  LED switching or i wrote proper code for audio processing  , can i verify my code functionality through simulator?without using actual hardware?

  • If you wrote code specifically for the DSK, then there is no guarantee that it would run successfully on the device simulator. This is because the device simulator would not simulate any board peripherals, etc.

    As mentioned, the simulator is simulating only the C6713 device itself.

  • You mean only processor c6713 can be simulated??can we perform complex addition and multiplication  programs on simulator and then transfer those to actual hardware kit c6713 without any modification in code?

    Yes

    There are always considerations when moving from simulator to HW (and vice versa) hence it is unlikely you can just take the entire application and move it to HW without any change. But it is quite reasonable for people to test certain components and algorithm code on a simulator and then move that part of the code to HW.
