TMS320C6203B: TMS320C6203B drivers

Sergio Rodriguez
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: TMS320C6203B
In context, the development environment we want to use is Code Composer, in one of its versions from 2.21 to 5.5. These versions are compatible with a Windows 10 32-bit framework and they can be installed in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
 
We would like to know if the drivers for the TMS320C6203B JTAG probe can be installed on Windows 10 64bits. And if it is compatible with Code Composer in one of these versions that we have discussed (from 2.21 to 5.5).

    Hello Sergio,

    Please note that C6203B is an older part with no hardware or software design support, as per the product page: https://www.ti.com/product/TMS320C6203B . That means our apps team can no longer answer any questions about the hardware or software of this part.

    That said, 6203B is listed in the release notes for the last DSP/BIOS release: 
    https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_registered_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/index.html 
    https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/dspbios/5_42_02_10/exports/docs/Bios_5_42_02_10_release_notes.html 

    That last release claims compatibility with "either CCSv3 or CCSv4", so I would expect the C6203B resources to at least work with those versions of CCS.

    I am reassigning your thread to the CCS team to discuss CCSv3 / v4 compatibility with 64 bit OSes.

    Regards,

    Nick

    Note that the FIRST version of CCS to OFFICIALLY support Windows 10 is CCSv6.1.3. However, many people (including myself) have gotten some of the older versions to work on WIndows 10-64 bit. But there is no guarantee.

    Either the XDS560v2 or XDS510 class debug probes should work with C62x. CCSv2.x and 3.x would have the best support for C62x. CCSv4.x and CCSv5.x also has support for C62x but would require a bit more configuration.

    Thanks

    Hello Ki, 

    We have to use TMS320C6203B and we are looking for the best solution to carry out the development. Carrying out queries we find these two JTAGs:

    https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSEMU560V2STM-U

    https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSEMU560V2STM-UE

    What would be the last compatible version of Code Composer to install on a Windows 10 64 bits and that is compatible with both the processor and one of these probes?

    Thank you in advance,

    Sergio

    Current versions of CCS (CCS 12.x) are compatible with this configuration.

    However... it is important to note that the latest versions of the tools may not be the "recommended" versions of the tools for a device.C6203 is very old so there is very little documentation and supporting software for that device with newer versions of the tools. For example, older versions of CCS may be a better case if you wish to use BIOS with C62x. But using old unsupported versions of tools have their own issues. This is a decision you will need to carefully consider.

    Thanks

    We're Using the  Code Composer Studio 6.1.3 but this DSP doesn't seems to be available as it can be seen in the next capture:

    Please, can you tell me which is the lastest CCS version that supports this DSP or if we miss something in our installation to manage it. We know that CCS 2.20.00 does but we have problems while allocating libraries in a different section than RAM because of a limitation regarding addressing bits resolution.

    Thanks in advance.

    As I mentioned in a post above:

    Ki said:

    The "more configuration" I referred to is that you need to manually create a custom target configuration for C620x.

    https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AFwYJhmnwlJWUElGChKuxg__ccs_devtools__FUz-xrs__LATEST

    For example, I created a C620x target configuration for a BH XDS560v2:

    Here is the ccxml file from above. You can try using that:

    C620x_xds560v2.ccxml

    For you project, use "Generic C62x device"

    Thanks
