Hi all,..

Before you go for a stand alone board read CAREFULLY the 100 pages of the errata
of the 5509. You will find crazy and amazing answers to you problems.

Please, also consider that CLKOUT pin it is out of cotntrol when not using the
JTAG emulator, so if you are dividing down the clock for your periphery you will
have problems.

Subject: [c55x] Re: CCS manual... hardware development without emulotor
Hello Kruk and community,
I am facing the same problem you experienced, (namely the cost of the
emulator and CCS). Were you able to get around the cost somehow?
I actually just need a convenient way to reprogram flash on a
custom board, and dont need the full debug features provided by the
emulator and CCS.

I am developing a dual channel wireless headset for the Blind
Association of WA, and they simply dont have the funds for an
emulator and CCS. :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Andrew Pasquale

Hi Gagan!
 
If I can ask, how do you work? Seems that you dont use full CCS
(?n)either.

Hi Kruk,
For third party software options just
scan thorugh third party tools options. Link is there
in the TI site. People do provide JTAG emulators,
custom RTOS etc for the custom board development.
Hope this will help u. Just scan thorugh many
OS companies( vxworks, OSE, linux..). Cross check if
they tailered there OS for TI core

Hi Jeff !

Thanks for your answer! You are completely right about CCS's price. I have
written just something reasonable, but this price is insane!!

Specially for me. I dont work for a big company, nor have lots of funds, and pay
78% for importing taxes over price given by Texas when I order something...

So, you must be glad you can pay only U$3.2k. :o(

I appreciate a lot your tips. I will test all algorithms in the DSK, as much as
my applications allow, and use your suggestion of setting "breakpoints" in the
code to check how it goes.

Again, thanks!

Kruk

Your understanding of it is correct, to develop code on your own hardware you
will need a full version of Code Composer Studio and a suitable JTAG emulator.
Not really a trick, just try and think of the DSK package as a bargain rather
than the other way around ;-)

Hello all!

I have just migrated to Texas technology, and acquired a C5510 DSK.
Reading its help, I found this:

The version of Code Composer Studio that comes with the DSK is
tailored specifically for use with the DSK in that:
1) It only works with the DSK board itself. Full versions of
CCS are not board specific in that they can be used with any hardware
(including hardware you develop yourself).

I wish I am wrong, but.. does it mean that when I am building my own
HW, I m gonna have to purchase full CCS for U$2k ???? Is that a
trick? Is there a possibility to use CCS that comes with DSK to make
my commercial code?

Thanks in advance,

Kruk
