Important Details

  • Code Composer Studio 3.1 and associated emulation drivers no longer support Windows 98/SE, Windows ME or WinNT4.
  • DM4xx and DM644x users should read ReadMeDM4xx.htm, TechNote_6.pdf and lvrtck_qsg.pdf for configuration specifics and use with the DaVinici EVM.
  • C645x and TCI6482 DSK users should read ReadMeC645x.htm.

·         There are two versions of the C64Plus DSK, TMS320C6455 and TCI6482.  Although the processors and DSKs may be labeled differently they are 100% identical with respect emulation driver support and both use the generic sdgo645xdsk.dvr file.

·         OMAP242x user should read the ReadMeOmap2420.htm file for install specifics and use with the TI OMAP242x Development Platform, (H4 Board).  Also, see SdTechNote_1.pdf for general OMAP debug details.

·         OMAP243x user should read the ReadMeOmap2430.htm file for install specifics and use with the TI OMAP243x Development Platform, (SDP Board).  Also, see SdTechNote_1.pdf for general OMAP debug details.

·         ARM7S users should see ReadMe_ARM7S.htm.

·         C672x users should see ReadMe_C672x.htm.

·         Release 3.01.13 - 3.02.0013 - 3.03.0004 and higher have preliminary support for Windows Vista. 

New Features

  • Add GEL files for various SD EVMs and DSKs.
  • Add additional CCS configuration files for SD EVMs and DSKs.
  • Clean up driver and configuration file support for C672x in CCS 3.1.
  • Update for Windows Vista release candidate.
  • Update C64Plus drivers for CCS 3.3 interface changes. You must use driver release 3.02.10 or higher to support the C64Plus in CCS 3.3x.
  • Update C64Plus drivers to work around possible scan chain problem when 3 or more C64Plus devices are chained together. This problem is still under investigation and may still appear in a multiple processor system.  The failure mode in CCS is a failure to connect with error –1080.
  • Update IcePick drivers to reflect CCS 3.3 register mapping changes.
  • Update ARM7 and ARM9 drivers to reflect CCS 3.3 register mapping changes.
  • Update C64Plus drivers for CCS 3.3 Cache Tag viewer changes.  These changes are untested pending CCS changes to enable Cache Tag Viewer for emulation drivers.

Known Issues CCS 3.3

  • Beta release to support CCS 3.3 Beta 2.
  • Cannot write to C55xx AC0-AC3 in the register window. Registers are readable.  Register can be written from a watch window.
  • C5510 DSK gel files shipped in CCS have incorrect memory mapping which results in annoying memory accesses error messages. DSK files included with SD installs resolve this problem.
  • CCS register window for C641x is showing DM6482 registers.

Known Issues CCS 3.2

  • CCS 3.2.39.5 does NOT officially support the full compliment of TI processors.  However, SD has tested the most popular processors along with SD DSKs/eZdsps.
  • CCS 3.2.39.5 does not recognize F28xx XAR0-XAR5 when used in a gel file.  The solution is to modify gel files to use AR0-AR5.
  • CCS 3.2.39.5 does not properly recognize the TMS320C672x device.  CCS 3.2 will start up however it will not display the C672x registers or allow load of C672x out files.

History

Release 3.02.0009

  • Update sdxds510usb_v11.out and sdxds510usb.dll to improve support with standalone tools like TI Flash470 and SD XMLGUI. These files only effect the operation of the XDS510USB emulator.

 

Release 3.02.0008

  • Updated support for ARM11 for new emulation features on OMAP2430.
  • Integrated IcePick-B support for OMAP2430, external IcePick utility no longer required.  The OMAP2430 CCS configuration files have been updated also.
  • Minor changes to C6455 with respect to CacheTag display.
  • Tested with CCS 3.2.39.5, full production release.

 

Release 3.02.0006

  • Preliminary support for OMAP2430/IcePick B. IcePick A/B support is handled via external utility. This will be integrated into drivers in future release similar to IcePick C.
  • Updated DSK6455 and DSKTCI6482 gel files.

 

Release 3.02.0005

  • Added emulation driver support C54xx, C62xx, C67xx, C64xx, F2400, F2800.
  • Added DSK support for DSK5416, DSK5510, DSK6713, DSK6416.
  • Added eZdsp support for eZdsp2400, eZdsp2800.

 

Release 3.02.0004

  • Updated drivers to support RTDX, BIOS RTA, and Cache Tag Display on the C64Plus.
  • Updated CCS configuration files to include DM6443, DM6446, and TCI6482.

 

Release 3.02.0003

  • Updated sdtsrv.dll to include support for C645x API. This change does not affect CCS or any of its components. The sdtsrv.dll API is used by Spectrum Digital utilities like SdFlash, DSK Diags, SD XmlGui and other 3rd party tools.

 

Release 3.02.0002

  • Added IcePick Rev C support to XDS510PP-Plus, SPI515, and SPI525 emulators.  Support now matches the XDS510USB and no longer requires external IcePick utility.
  • Added C645x device support.
  • Added C654x DSK support.
  • Update emulation drivers for ARM9 and C64xx
  • Fix bug in SdConfig which was limiting scan path testing to ~1600 bits of IR.

 

Release 3.02.0001

  • Added support for C6400 Plus and IcePick-C.
  • General emulation driver updates for CCS 3.2x.

Installation

  1. Run SetupCCSPlatinum_v30XYY.exe, Where X is the CCS version and YY is the driver release version. Each version is tailored to the specific version of CCS with respect to the drivers and CCS configuration files installed.  However you can install a higher version CCS driver release version into an older CCS 3.x path if desired.
  2. If using an XDS510USB emulator, unplug and replug the USB cable to force a complete driver update.
  3. If this is first time install of the XDS510USB hardware then Windows will pop up the Hardware Install Wizard to install USB drivers.  If this occurs you need to direct the wizard to look in the directory <CCS_INSTALLDIR>\specdig\xds510usb to find the USB .inf/.sys files.  Once Windows has completed the hardware setup, unplug and replug the USB cable.

Notes

  1. If you intend to use CCS 3.x and a previous version of CCS on the same PC with a XDS510USB then make sure you disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the XDS510USB between CCS sessions.  This will maintain the necessary relationship between two different CCS driver stacks.  You must also select the correct SdConfig for the current CCS focus.  That is select ”SdConfig v3.2” if using CCS 3.2.  SdConfig will automatically load emulation drivers if they are not already loaded to the XDS510USB so you must select the SdConfig for the CCS you are targeting.
  2. If you are installing SD CCS 3.2 drivers into a CCS 3.1 environment make sure you uninstall your CCS 3.1 drivers first.
  3. If you inadvertently install an older version of drivers after your CCS 3.2 driver install then CCS will most likely fail on startup for C64Plus and DaVInici targets. To correct this problem you will need to uninstall and reinstall your CCS 3.2 drivers.
