Code Composer

Started by Unknown December 30, 2002
Hello c6x,

I bought the tms320c6711 DSK board and also the EVM tms320c6701/6201
board.
In these packeges I've found two release of code composer .... all
versions are 2.1.
If I install the EVM version it install the driver dor this board.
When I try to install the DSK version it don't recognize the
installed version and it try to create a new installation of code
composer.
Do you known if there are some methods to use all boards in one
systems without install two Code Composer ?

There are many things that I don't understand .....
Why the EVM tms320c6701-6201 price is 3500$ and the DSK TMS320C6711
price is only 295$ ?
When I've asked to Texas commercial the answer was "Because in EVM
there is also a Code Composer license".
But this is not correct because also in DSK board there is a Code
Composer license.....

RE: [c6x] Code Composer

The DSK product includes a version of CCS that is limited in size and scope in the following ways: 
1) The DSK version will only load a program which has a .text section of 256Kbytes or less.  The EVM / Full Tools includes a version that is not limited in size.

2) The DSK version does not include the simulator, while the EVM / Full version of CCS includes the simulator.  The simulator will allow a user to simulate the operation of other C6000 DSP Family members, not just the C6x01 processor on the board.

Tom Dillon

Hello c6x,

It's fantastic !
I bought 1 EVM board (3500$) and 1 DSK board (295$) with 2 code composer
license
one months ago and now ... surprise !
Today I received a Texas letter with the software registration renewal
for ONLY 600$ for every license.
It's possible that only after 1 months I must to renew the Code
Composer license ?
If this is correct remember: buy Code Composer only in the first
month of the year .... if you buy CC in december you have only a
license of +-20 days !

Yup! TI has realized that they can bring in a lot of revenue from CC
licenses. But you should be good for a year after you bought the new
package. Try giving them a call.

Hey all,

As I understand it the 'initial update license' for CCS is valid
for only 30 days from initial purchase. This is, I believe, indicated on
the registration card that comes with CCS's install disc. (I purchased an
imaging SDK at the TI Conference this fall which included a full CCS suite)

It's my understanding that once the software is installed and
registered with TI, you are granted 30 days of support and updates. After
this period, you are required to have the $600.00 US yearly support license
in place to obtain further updates/support. So I really don't think the
date matters when the yearly license goes into effect - you are given a
year of updates/support from the point you register. The remainder of the
year from whenever you purchase CCS doesn't really matter - only the 30
days after it gets installed. As I remember it, the yearly subscription
notice appeared in the mail here too just about a month after I registered
the software initially, when the 30 day period ran out. I think your
renewal just happened to coincide with the end of the year. :>

You really have nothing to lose all around as far as I can see.

Regards,

The initial CC license is valid for only 90 days ... (1750$ it's a very high
price for only 90 days of free upgrade subscription)....
After this period it's only (***ONLY***) 600$/year .... --
