CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCS V9.3.0 does not seem to support TMDSEVM6657LS Evaluation Module

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6655

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to develop code for the TMS320C6655 DSP using the TMDSEVM6657LS Evaluation Module under Code Composer Studio.

I installed CCS v9.3.0.00012 (and selected C6000 DSP support during the install process).

I installed the Multicore Software Development Kit CD Rel 02.02.01 that came with the TMDSEVM6657LS Eval Module. The first hint of trouble was that the CD came with CCS v5.2.1 (I'm not installing CCS v5).

I imported a sample project,  "FFT_Example_66_LE_ELF" that I found somewhere just to get my feet wet. The project builds error/warning free under CCS.

TMDSEVM6657LS Questions:

1) When I connect PC to Mezzanine board, the Windows device manager does not report and new ports. When I connect PC to Main board, the Windows device manager reports XDS100 Class USB Serial Port (COMxxx).  Where is the CCS to Eval Module code load/debug connection? Is it the mini-USB on the Main board or the mini-USB on the Mezzanine board? Why doesn't Windows see the connection?

Code Composer Studio CCS v9.3.0. Questions:

1) Under the Project properties / General / Project tab, the device correctly shows 'Family' as C6000, but I do not see TMDSEVM6657LS in the 'Variant' pulldown list. How do I add support for this Evaluation Module to CCS? The latest and greatest CCS v9.3.0 should already know about the TMDSEVM6657LS.

2) Under the Device Connection pulldown list, I chose TI XDS2xx USB Onboard Debug Probe. The connection verify operation failed. Is this the right choice for this Eval Module (the documentation says XDS200)? Why did it fail (probably because Windows could not see the connection)?

Please help.

    This is a question better asked to the EVM vendor. That said, I believe that EVM has an integrated XDS100v1 (or maybe v2) debug probe for the main board and an XDS200 on the mezzanine card. But best to check the EVM documentation

    Please use the below variant:

    It depends on which USB connection you made (XDS100 or XDS200). Please check the EVM documentation.

    Ki,

    TMDSEVM6657LS (Issue 1)

    I found, through much experimentation, that Windows found and registered the XDS200 connection when I attached the mini-USB connector only when there was no power to the main board. The Mezzanine mini-USB XDS200 is the correct connection. Issue resolved.

    CCS v9.3.0 (Issue 1,2)

    The XDS200 connection verifies successful.

    The TMDSEVM6657LS evaluation board does not show up even though I installed all relevant packages during CCS v9.3.0 install. I selected TMS320C56657 and that seems to work with the eval board as far as GEL files and connectivity (although I don't know how my project is supposed to know about DRAM capacity and other peripherals on the eval board). I'm declaring issues resolved.

    Thanks for quick response.
