Hello:

Recently bought a IEKC64x board from ATEME. I would like to use it as
stand-alone and connect to the PC's parallel port just as I use the
C6711 DSK (i.e. use CCS and download *.out files to the board and
run) ;

You require a XDS510PP JTAG and a parallel port cable to connect the JTAG to your computer.

You can connect the JTAG in the connector slot and you can use your CCS (Version 2.00or 2.10) to load your out files and run.

But you need to take care about the board's initialization program i.e. you need to invoke the init function for the board.

but there is no embedded emulator like in the 6711DSK where we
connect to the parallel port of the DSK. There are no such cables in
this (expensive) box from ATEME (nor help! ).

Would like to know whether I just need a cable connecting the PC's
parallel port to the 14-pin JTAG slot of the IEKC64X or would I also
need an external XDS510 emulator.

You need a JTAG as indicated above.

Also, how would I use the J5 header (14-pin JTAG port) in the
C6711DSK ? Is this different from using the JTAG port on the
IEKC64X ?
Hope this solves your problem.

The JTAG port is used both for debugging software in development and for boundary scan hardware test in production. Most of the PLD vendors provide support in their programming software for other devices in the scan chain. But I have received mixed advice on putting TI DSPs in a scan chain with other devices. TI has lots of literature saying you can do this and Code Composer seems to offer support for this. But when I asked TI support about it, they said they don't advise you to try it, but to put the DSP on its own JTAG port with no other devices. Seems TI can't make up its mind about whether or not they wish to support JTAG for boundary scan. Anyone have any experience with this? Have you used TI DSPs in a scan chain with other devices such as FPGAs and MCUs?
