Original question:

CCS: 3.1

CCS/TMS320F2812: I am looking for a copy of CCS 3.1 as I believe it is the last version to support the old chip I am working with.

Part Number: TMS320F2812
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I saw another forum where a user had a similar problem and someone linked them a downloadable copy of CCS 3.1. Could someone please help me out with this too? The earliest downloadable version on the website is 3.3.

Otherwise, if someone knows me to be wrong about needing CCS 3.1 for this DSP, please let me know!

Thank you in advance!

    Hi Avery,

    The F2812 is still supported with current versions of CCS. Are you working with any old projects based off CCS 3.x?

    Thanks

    Ki,

    Thank you for your quick response.

    We have the eZDSP kit for the TMS320F2812 described in these support documents: 'http://c2000.spectrumdigital.com/ezf2812/'

    The board was designed to use a JTAG emulator interfaced through the parallel port. It has a header for interface with an external JTAG though.

    We are trying to interface the board through the external JTAG header.

    We also have a board for the TMS320F28335 and it works fine with CCS10.

    This is the somewhat cryptic comment in the support documents in the above link which made me think we maybe should try CCS 3.1:
    "The most current release of DSK Tools for the c2000 eZdsps is CCS 3.1. (exception is the F28335 eZdsp, which is shipped with CCS 3.3 DSK Tools.)"

    Thank you!

    Support for parallel port emulation was dropped a long time ago. But if you only interested in using an external JTAG probe, then that is fine. However note that support for all XDS510 based debug probes was dropped in CCSv9 and greater. If you wish to use a an XDS510 based probe, the last version you can use is CCSv8.3.1.

    That is likely referring to the special DSK bundle we had where we had a specific version of CCS for the kits. You can definitely use CCS 3.3 (or greater) for F2812 build and debug. 

    One thing to keep in mind is that any existing examples and such for F2812 was likely written with a very old version of CCS (likely 3.x). While those examples can be ported to newer CCS versions, it may be easier to stick with the CCS version it was created with. Also note that if you plan on using DSP/BIOS 4.x, then you will want CCSv3.1 since 3.3 supports DSP/BIOS 5.x.

    The only reason why I can see you wanting to stay with CCSv3.1 is if you plan on using DSP/BIOS 4.x.

    Thanks
