View Full Version : RE: Cannot start TI CCS 3.10 Platinum EVAL with SD 'C6713 DSK (board v. 2)

Dear all,

I am an EE Graduate Student working with a C6713 DSK. I'm currently
having problems getting my 'C6713 DSK to work with the latest edition
of CCS (3.10 PE). I've installed the latest Spectrum Digital CCS 3.1
Platinum Emulation Drivers (release 3.01.04) from the SD support site
(http://emulators.spectrumdigital.com/c6000/), but am still having no
luck :(. I get the following error message when I try to start CCS
3.10 PE:

"Error initializing emulator

I/O Port = 540

Board Name: C6713 DSK
Cpu Name: CPU_1

Abort: Close Code Composer Studio.
Retry: Try to initialize the emulator again.
Ignore: Ignore the initialization error and start
potentially without target debugging access.
Diagnostic: Run diagnostic utility."

Neither Retry nor Diagnostic solve the problem, and thus I am forced to
Abort, thus preventing the start of CCS 3.10.

Please note I have run the 6713DSK Diagnostics that came on the CD with
my DSK (DSK Diagnostic Utility Version 1.12), and the "Overall
Diagnostic Test" passes without exception. I have tried "Reset Emu"
and "Reset DSK" from the diagnostic utility, and this does not solve
the problem.

Any information or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely, rjc.

I have the same setup, and it works fine. Did you also download the DSK
6713 board support package from TI's "Update Advisor" website? (You may
first need to download the Update Advisor Enable, etc.) See:

Correction: My board says "Rev 3" and my CCS 3.1 is the full edition.

Are you sure this is the correct port ?

I'll dig my dsk c6713 out later and have a look.
Need to test some code anyway.

Question have you downloaded the latest drivers for the dsk6713 from TI ?

You don't need the emulation drivers unless you are using the c6713 with one
of the debuggers.

It has a builtin debugger(usb to jtag) that works fine.
For me with the platinum edition all I had to do after installing it was.

Run the spectrum digital cd , install the support files
power up the dsk, plugin the usb,

Install the usb drivers for the dsk6713.

set the c6713 dsk as target in setup, start ccs and it worked flawlessly.

Why not try installing code composer studio that comes on the cd with the
dsk ?

CCS3.1 is a bit nicer but 3.0 works fine(just install the patches)
