Melonaski,

As Tim pointed out you will need an XDS510 JTAG emulator (~$1400-$1800) in 
order to do emulation on your own custom-built board.  I think a better 
first step will be to program the flash on the 5510 DSK so that the DSK 
functions as a stand-alone system.

Here's an application note on using the 5510 boot loader:

http://focus.ti.com/docs/apps/catalog/resources/appnoteabstract.jhtml?abstractName=spra763c

Also, here's a quick overview of what you'll need to do:
1)  Use the hex conversion utility (documented in spru280) to take your .out 
file and create a boot table that you will burn into the flash.
2)  Use Flashburn to actually write the table into the flash.

Hi

You can this task using several way. For instance, you can use one or
more of EEPROM, HPI boot, parallel boot methods... etc. Please read
TI's bootloader manual to find yours best method.

Not in a reasonably sized post, unless you luck into someone with 
experience with your processor and eval board.  If it's a halfway decent 
eval board you should be able to load the flash on the uP on the board, 
and the board documentation should tell you how.

Really, everyone has to struggle with this whenever they adopt new 
technology.  It's just part of the experience.

Thank you all, for your inputs. But could someone write a simple instruction
(something like:
1. Using this tool do that...
2. Buy that to do that...
Etc.)

On the 2812 with Code Composter and the Spectrum Digital eval board you 
can move a few jumpers on the load a program into processor flash, where 
it executes fine.  Once this is done the load process onto a production 
board is the same -- you need to bring out the processor's JTAG emulator 
pins to an appropriate header, and you need to spend $$$ for TI's JTAG 
debugging pod.

Code that works in RAM won't necessarily work in ROM, although the
chances are good that you aren't using any self-modifying code.

Your code uses variables. Those need to be in RAM. Their addresses, and
the addresses of jump targets in the code will all need to match the
memory map of your standalone board.

You will need startup code that initializes the state of the processor,
as well as the C run-time package. You can copy all that from what the
DSK loads (with appropriate memory-map alterations), but you better
understand it rather than copy blindly.

C does its best to insulate the programmer from the hardware. You have
to find a way to get back to it. HLLs have many advantages, including
portability. But each processor and peripheral combination needs a
scaffold to support the HLL. CCS provides that scaffold for the
particular DSK. I find that assembly is the simplest way to code for a
relatively simple one-off.

Hi all,

Suppose I've got well working algorithm (IIR filter) developed in Code
Composer Studio along with DSP Starter Kit, say C5510. I've got a built COFF
file (*.out) that loads into DSP through DSK and works there like a charm.
Now what. I want to have that code to work on a standalone prototype board
that I'll build.
Please, tell me what are the steps to be taken in order to transfer my code
into standalone DSP board, and what elements should that board contain (DSP,
ADC/DAC, memory?, do I have to transfer my code into eeprom - how do I do
that, how do I tell the DSP to load program from eeprom and run it
automatically, etc.).


Thanks for your help,
