ARM CORE:

Steps 

1. Follow this link ( Target Configuration Creation ) to create K2H configuration ("*.ccxml") file.
2. In CCS Target configuration window, Select "Advanced" tab and select the DSP cores (named as "C66xx_0" for "core 0", In the same way there will be total of 8 cores).
3. Select the Core and provide GEL file location on "Initialization script" text box.

9. Same steps should b followed for ARM GEL file loading
   1. GEL File :  "{CCS_INSTALLATION_FOLDER}/ccs/ccs_base/emulation/boards/xtcievmk2x/gel/xtcievmk2x_arm.gel"
   2. Cores will be named as "ARM_A15_x" where 'x' varies from 0 to 3.
