Connecting using CCS3

This page was tested with CCS3 SR12.

XDS100v1 embedded emulation - DSP only

NOTE: The OMA-L138 EVM board has more than one USB connector. Make sure that you are connected to the correct one. Please page 6, section 1.4 of this document. It contains a picture of the board - connect to the the USB cable to the V connector described on the page.

For the CCSv3 that comes with the EVM, simply install CCS, drivers and BSL from the CD and click on one of the Desktop icons:


CCS3 Icons


If you already have a full version of CCS installed you will need to download at least CCS Service Release 12.This can be obtained through the CCS Update Advisor (Help->Update Advisor->Check for Updates). If you want to know what Service Release you have, please see this page

Go to LogicPD's web site.

Click on the Kit Contents tab, at the bottom of the page click at: TMS320C6748 SOM-M1 GEL, CCS Setup, & BSL Files - you will need to create an account in their website if you do not have one already and download the files.

Go to CC3 Setup and click File -> Import. Browse to the configurations that you just got from Logic's site (...1014014A_TMS320C6748_GEL_BSL_Files\evmc6748_v1\import) and select the file to import: C6748_xds100.ccs


C6748_XDS100.ccs


You can also make sure that the correct GEL file is in that configuration:

1) Right click on the TMS320C674x_0 core and select Properties...

2) Browse to the GEL file you downloaded from Logic's website: ...\1014014A_TMS320C6748_GEL_BSL_Files\evmc6748_v1\gel\C6748.gel

3) Click OK


C6748.gel

From this you should be able to connect to the DSP. This configuration does not support connection to the ARM.

XDS100v2 external emulator - DSP + ARM

XDS100v2 hardware is NOT supported on Code Composer Studio v3.3.

XDS510/560 external emulator - DSP + ARM

The full version of CCSv3 is necessary to connect to an external emulator. Here is the procedure for the XDS510/560 emulators:

1) Go to Spectrum Digital's web site and get the latest drivers if needed.


2) Go to LogicPD's web site. Click on the Kit Contents tab, at the bottom of the page click at: OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 GEL, CCS Setup, & BSL Files - you will need to create an account in their website if you do not have one already and download the files.


Go to CC3 Setup and click File -> Import. Browse to the configurations that you just got from Logic's site (...\1014013A_OMAP-L138_GEL_BSL_Files\evmomapl138_v1\import\) and select the file to import: OMAPL138_tixds560.ccs for XDS510 or OMAPL138_sdxds510usb.ccs for the XDS510 emulator.


This board will show in the "Custom Boards" tab and the ARM will show.

You can also make sure that the correct GEL files are in the configuration:

1) Right click on the TMS320C674x_0 core and select Properties...

2) Browse to the GEL file you downloaded from Logic's website: ...\1014013A_OMAP-L138_GEL_BSL_Files\evmomapl138_v1\gelOMAPL138_ARM.gel

3) Click OK

4) Right click on the ARM9_0 core and select Properties...

5) Browse to the GEL file you downloaded from Logic's website: ...\1014013A_OMAP-L138_GEL_BSL_Files\evmomapl138_v1\gelOMAPL138_DSP.gel

6) Click OK

Connecting using CCS4

This page was tested with CCS4 version 4.1.

XDS100v1 embedded emulation - DSP only

NOTE: The OMA-L138 EVM board has more than one USB connector. Make sure that you are connected to the correct one. Please page 6, section 1.4 of this document. It contains a picture of the board - connect to the the USB cable to the V connector described on the page.


Go to LogicPD's web site. Click on the Kit Contents tab, at the bottom of the page click at: TMS320C6748 SOM-M1 GEL, CCS Setup, & BSL Files - you will need to create an account in their website if you do not have one already and download the files.

For CCS4, please see the example video Create a new target configuration at Target Setup.

When you create your target configuration file, select the Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator connection, and the TMS3206748 device:


CCS4 XDS100v1


Save the configuration and proceed to select the advanced tab at the bottom. Expand the configuration and select the C674X_0 connection. On the right provide the location for the gel file (...\1014014A_TMS320C6748_GEL_BSL_Files\evmc6748_v1\gel\C6748.gel - downloaded from Logic's web site) at the initialization script location. Save it again.

From this you should be able to connect to the DSP. This configuration does not support connection to the ARM.

XDS100v2, XDS510 or XDS560 external emulator - DSP + ARM

Go to LogicPD's web site. Click on the Kit Contents tab, at the bottom of the page click at: OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 GEL, CCS Setup, & BSL Files - you will need to create an account in their website if you do not have one already and download the files.

For CCS4, please see the example video Create a new target configuration at Target Setup.


In CCSv4 when you create your target configuration file, select:

  1. Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Emulator Connection for XDS510;
  2. OR Blackhawk USB560 Emulator connection for XDS560;
  3. OR Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Emulator Connection for XDS100 version 2.

Select OMAPL138 for Board or Device.


CCS4 Configuration

NOTE: If you are using an XDS560 emulator, you must lower the JTAG TCLK frequency from the default setting to 10.368 MHz. You can do this from the 'Advanced' configuration tab and selecting the top level connection and modifying the XDS560 properties:

JTAG TCLK Frequency

Save the configuration and proceed to select the advanced tab at the bottom. Expand the configuration and select the C674X_0 connection-On the right provide the location for the DSP gel file (...\1014013A_OMAP-L138_GEL_BSL_Files\evmomapl138_v1\gelOMAPL138_DSP.gel - downloaded from Logic's web site) at the initialization script location:


CCS4 DSP GEL


Select the ARM9_0 connection-on the right provide the location for the gel file (...\1014013A_OMAP-L138_GEL_BSL_Files\evmomapl138_v1\gelOMAPL138_ARM.gel - downloaded from Logic's web site) at the initialization script location:


CCS4 ARM GEL


From this you should be able to connect to the OMAP-L138.
