Hello Brad,
Thanks for the advice. I tried your idea, and it worked fine. I
managed log on to TI; once I entered the CD key, I was able to download
the files that I needed. I deleted all of the configurations in CCS
Setup, and imported the c5510dsk.ccs configuration. Everything else
was pretty much automatic, since I had already installed other drivers
earlier. The 5510 DSK Diagnostics Utility shows that the board passes.
As an aside, I talked with Spectrum Digital, and come to find out they
sent the right CD cover, but the wrong CD! They actually sent the
drivers for the 510 USB emulator. A couple of hours later, I received
a frantic phone call from the same person, asking me if I remembered
exactly when I bought the board, because apparently they mislabeled a
whole batch of CDs. So maybe this information will benefit some others.
Thanks,
Sam

Are you plugging a USB cable directly from your computer to the USB
interface on the board? If so, then the XDS510 emulator driver is not what
you should be selecting. Only if you have an XDS510 emulator should you be
choosing that.
With the 90 day version I'm not sure if you have access to updates or not.
See if you can download updates through Help -> Update Manager. If so,
there is an update specifically for users of the 5510 DSK. Once you've
installed that you should get a choice for "5510 DSK" in the cc_setup dialog
box. That's the one to use if you're connecting directly via USB.

Hi everyone,
I'm bravely venturing off into the world of CCS, hurrah!
I have passable skills in C programming (with Cygnal uControllers).
I have also programmed the '5402 chip in binary, using a home-built
board/interface, software, etc...so I have a familiarity with the
internal architecture of these chips.
I'm having a bit of a struggle handling all of the features of CCS,
but I'm making progress, and it's starting to make more sense.
The problem, however, is that I have not been able to connect to the DSK
board. Spectrum Digital was nice enough to supply the "DSK Tools for
C5510 Version 1.00" with the '5510 DSK board that I bought, completely
leaving out the '5510 CCS version (I'm thinking they sent the wrong
disk; they will hear from me this week). All that were included were
some DSK
drivers (about 3MB on the disk). I managed to download the full CCS
V2.2 90-day trial version from TI; trying to approach a solution from
that angle.
So this is what I did: I installed the CCS trial version (supposedly
fully functional). It works fine when set up to use a simulator. I
installed the "DSK Tools" disk from Spectrum Digital, and following the
prompts, installed sdsusbemu.etc. Looking in the Device Manager, it
looks like this was installed properly. Under "Import Configuration"
in CCS setup, I imported "VC5510 XDS510USB Emulator" (which came from
the DSK Tools CD), since the board has a XDS510 USB interface. All of
the other System Configurations besides this were deleted. The I/O port
in "Board Properties" is set to 0x510. When powering up the DSK, all of
the lights blink like they should, and then stay on. On initially
plugging in the USB cable to the computer, XP did its little software-
install thing, loading more driver files off of the "DSK Tools" CD.
Also, every time I initially plug in the USB cable, the "BUSY" light on
the DSK flickers briefly, then turns off.
Well, when I try to open CCS now, I get this little message: "Can't
Initialize Target CPU: SD USB Device, no interface found, check USB
connection, I/O port = 510, Board Name: C5510-V2XDS510USB, CPU: C5510"
I've tried connecting to the target with CCS setup, SDConfig, etc, and
it says something like it failed to enumerate, check the USB cables, and
things like that. It's getting annoying. Has anyone had a problem
like this before? Similar sob stories? Maybe I'm making a simple
mistake. I'm definitely going to contact Spectrum Digital tomorrow
(after all, it's what I paid my hard-earned money for). But I would
certainly appreciate any extra ideas if anyone would like to throw them
out there.
Thanks,
Sam
