CCS Advanced Event Triggering

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6413

Hi,

I read the Wiki page on advanced event triggering and also Application Report SPRA387. On my TMS320C6413 target system, under Code Composer v3.1, if you go to Tools->Advanced Event Triggering, I get a SeqPEdit popup window which says "Unable to Connect to Target". Does this indicate that the 6413 does not support this feature?

If anybody has an idea about what this means, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thank You and Best Regards,

Stephen Fedigan

Stephen,

It is probably missing the necessary configuration files to know that the device supports AET. C6413 should have cTools which is the device feature that enables AET. Looking through my CCSv3.3 install I see an AET config file for 6413. I am going to attach it. You would drop it in \cc\bin\aet_config

1460.6413.xml

If that doesn't work you get an eval copy of CCSv4 here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v4

Hi John,

I appreciate the advice. I added the file to the appropriate directory, restarted the program, and got the same message. I'll try CCS v4.0 now and see what the result is.

Thank You,

Steve
