Hello, I was looking for some information about emulators and i found this
thread. Just one simply question ¿what is a SEED USB emulator?
Thank you, regards
Miguel Ángel

>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].

emulators.

it was just slow [expected]. I can't remember which version of CCS I
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?
