CCS/TMS320VC5510A: CCS 2.2x, looking for currently produced compatible jtag adapters.

Part Number: TMS320VC5510A

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

Bit of a long shot here. But thought someone here might have some experience with the issue.. 

 We're supporting a legacy project on ccs 2.2 running in a win2k VM,  Updating and porting to a newer CCS would be difficult for us. 

 We're currently using some older blackhawk jtag adapters for debugging and dev. They work fine, but are no longer available.

 Could anybody recommended a currently manufactured and available jtag adapter with win2k drivers that's known to work on CCS 2.2 and a 5510A?  

  Bonus points if economical (cheap) and USB.   High speed is not needed.  

 

Thanks,

 

  • Henry,

    I would reach out to Spectrum Digital.  Their 510 USB lists CCSv3.1 but I think I used it with older CCS versions.  Just not sure how old.

    Also looking at their driver page it lists CCSv2.21 support:

  • Thanks,

       I'll try contacting Spectrum Digital directly. I had previously tried some of their newer adapters but had no luck getting them to work with ccs2.2.

       I'd need them to confirm compatibility and drivers.

       I have emailed Blackhawk, but they could not provide a solution. 

      Again thanks for the response.

  • I contacted Spectrum Digital,

     Unfortunately, the only product they recommended with CCS 2.2 compatibility was the XDS510PP PLUS.

      They don't recommend using it with a VM, and I'd rather not use the parallel port anyway.

       So I'm still looking for a solution. 

        I may just have to acquire some used gear on ebay. What I was trying to avoid in the first place.

  • Who at SD were you talking with?  I believe I have used the 510USB with 2.2 in the past.  One of my colleages believes the same as well.  The driver download page indicates 2.21 support.

    We have an old XP machine in the lab that we could try it on later in the week.

  • I agree, the XDS510 usb would probably work, The product page does not list 2.2 compatibility, but the driver page does. So was not sure.

    I did not talk to anyone, just used the provided contact form. I should have picked up the phone, I'm getting out of the habit. I'll have to call and see if I can talk to someone more knowledgeable. 

    BTW,  This was the email response.

    It looks like your JTAG Emulator option is the XDS510PP PLUS, part/SKU #: 701014

    Currently we have quantity 9 in stock.

    This can be ordered on-line.

     

    This should be run with your CCS on a Native Win XP computer (no VM).

    I was able to get CCS 2.2 to work with an SD XDS510USB and C5509A board on an Windows XP machine

  • Thank you very much for testing this and confirming that it works.

       At least now we have a viable option to pursue.

    Thanks again,
