We are not able to get SEED USB emulator working with C67xx DSP devices.
SEED
doesn't know or maybe didn't test that.
If anyone on the group can demonstrate for to us how to configure and run the
SEED
USB emulator with DSK 6711 board, and we can test the solution with DSK 6711
here in
our lab and it works, we will pay USD 125.
Thanks.

SEED USB emulator with 67xx devices -- will pay for solution

Jeff,
I'm not looking for any bucks...
I have some hands on experience with several different vendor's emulators.
I used a borrowed SEED USB emulator a few months back on a 6713. It worked ok - it was just slow [expected]. I can't remember which version of CCS I used.
What targets/versions of CCS work and don't work??
When it "doesn't work", what is the symptom?? [I am guessing that it cannot connect to target]
If it does connect to target, what is displayed in the title bar of the window when connected to a 6711 DSK??

We've tried different v2.2 installs and v3.1, and various drivers, all with no luck.
Do you remember exactly which driver file you used?

Yes cannot connect to the target. Supposedly SDConfig should work because the SEED
USB driver looks like an "ISA card driver" that uses I/O address 0x240 and talks to
the USB port, but we couldn't get this to work either.
Do you recall if you got SDConfig to work? Can you suggest a diagnostic other than
SDConfig that is independent of CCS?

Jeff,
Sorry about the top posting. I only have 'very low tech' access at the moment and this is just a pasted text file.
I will try to make this generic for 'cannot connect problems with NON spectrum digital emulators'. The tool is included with CCS and is called xdsprobe. I think that it runs easiest from a DOS prompt in '\cc\bin\' directory. Note: xdsprobe has more capabilities than I will mention here. Enter 'xdsprobe -hv >xdsprobe.txt' to create a manual called xdsprobe.txt.
1. The SEED emulator uses TI's XDS510 emulation driver. They put a DLL 'underneath' TI's scan manager sw [xdsfast3.dll] to redirect its communication from the ISA bus to a USB driver. Somewhere in the docs [?], CCS setup instructions, or the install disk, should be a reference to the name of this DLL [it may have 'seed' in the name]. I will use 'myseed.dll'.
Q1- Can TI's scan manager find the DLL? [you should have your target connected]
2. enter 'xdsprobe -r -F myseed.dll' [options are case sensitive]. If an address other than 240 or 0 is required, use -p to set the port address ['xdsprobe -r -p240 -F myseed.dll' ]. If this fails, check the error message. The only software used is: xdsprobe.exe-->xdsfast3.dll-->myseed.dll-->myseedUSBdriver-->
Q2- Does the CCS configuration work??
3. Run CCS setup, configure for the SEED emulator, and close. enter 'xdsprobe -r -f brddat\ccbrd0.dat' This should get the same results as above. If it does not work, something is wrong with your setup.
Q3- Can we scan the target?
4. So far we have only performed a JTAG reset. Now we will scan some patterns through the DSP. use 'xdsprobe -i -f brddat\ccbrd0.dat' - this will perform a scan chain integrity test. Make sure that all patterns pass and that it showed an IR length of 46 and a DR bypass of 1 [assuming that there is only a single 6713 in the scan path].
Q4- Can we run CCS??
Note: This will also work on most XDS510 and XDS560 NON-spectrum digital emulators.
