Where are the 8 digital IO pins mentioned on the University TMS320VC33 DSP =
Starter Kit web sites?  What is the name of those pins on the board?

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/university/univ.tsp?templateId=3D5807&path=
=3Dtemplatedata/cm/univgen/data/univ_orphan_vc33dsk  (mentions 4 input and =
4 output pins)
and
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdsdsk33.html (mentions 8 IO=
 pins)

Is there any sample code that allows access to those digital IO pins?

I am using the serial port to download the program to the DSK with the debu=
gger in Windows XP.  I'm using the two analog input channels (there are onl=
y two right?) and one of the analog output channels for a reference sine wa=
ve.  It would be preferable if I could transmit analog DC out of the second=
 output channel, but I guess because of the AC coupling that is not possibl=
e.  Instead I want to have digital input and output to control a tabletop D=
C source using text commands (ASCII) to a RS232 port.=20=20

The DSK I have is TMDSDSK33, 701388 Rev B, 11 Jan 05.

Sincerely,
Mike

Hi Mike

Look through DSK3HELP.HLP in the main installation directory.  Not only 
will you find references to these pins, but also the board schematic. I 
believe there is a simple program as well. If not, its a simple write to 
an address space in the IO channel defined by the CPLD (look there).  By 
the way, if you are real adventurous, you could even redefine the CPLD.  
But then again, this could bust up a working DSK pretty badly, so I 
would not want to suggest this for beginners :-)

Hope this helps

How do I toggle a digital output pin of the VC33 University DSK?  The I/O memory address
80A000-80A004 seem to be available for I/O  in the documentation of the CPLD VHDL in the
debugger help file.  Loading a value to those four registers (via enter address and value in
debugger) has no effect on the outputted voltage on the CPLD pins.  I attached a voltage source
to the pins in the CPLD one at a time through a resistor but the value shown in the debugger
screen never changes (or the different value when the address is double clicked)    Which
output pins corresponds to which of the four bits in the CPLD? (I tried to open the VHDL in
Xilinx, but I couldn't get it to simulate).  The file idrive.asm in the sample files seems
intended to control the output of a digital pin, but it wouldn't compile.  Is there C code for
accessing the CPLD included in the VC33 DSK?  Being able to toggle any digital output pin on
the University DSK would also be satisfactory.  I'm using the printer parallel port to download
the program and debugger to the DSK.

Mike

I found my mistake, 80A001 controls JP8 (BIT_IO) not JP7 (JTAG_CPLD).  That address is
listed in the CPLD VHDL, but setting the address value to 80A001 changes which binary outputs
activated on JP8.

Hi Mike

I was half wondering what you were writing about, so I thought it must 
be that there was some confusion over the labeling of the headers.  I 
then opened the help file and saw what I think might have led to a 
problem.  The board diagram in the helpfile was for the original 6 layer 
DSK board that only existed as a prototype.  I guess I missed that 
before leaving TI.

Best regards
Keith
