C5506.GEL missing?

Started by Sound Consulting August 14, 2009
Hi folks,

I'm just getting started with a custom board that I designed, based
on the TMS320VC5506 DSP. I have a JTAG port on the board, and an
XDS510 USB 2.0 emulator. I just installed Code Composer Studio 3.3,
the demo, and during setup I could not find any GEL files for the c5506.

Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do here? Do I make my own
C5506.GEL file? Has anyone with more experience already made one?
Does TI have this on their site somewhere? I've certainly looked in
several places on their site and have found nothing.

There is the SPRAA74A.PDF document describing how to create your own
GEL files, but so far my impression is that this is more for handling
the external peripherals and memory chips on your c55x board, and not
to describe new processors. If I'm wrong, hopefully someone can
explain.
