TMS320C6416DSK - memory not available?

Started by Ralph A. Schmid, DK5RAS February 2, 2007
Hi!

I was finally able to get a used 6416DSK at a very reasonable price
(due to a silent reader of this newsgroup :-), but I can not access
the additional RAM memory on the board. The diag tool coming with the
CC gives me a mem failure, also are applications not able to run when
they need external RAM, so I guess there really is smth. wrong. 
As the board had been modified to connect a large set of peripherals,
maybe I missed something and removed a solder bridge that was not
retrofitted, but original? A high resolution photo or scan of the
original board (600MHz, REV C) would be helpful to identify missing
part, missing bridges, jumpers, Rs... My comparison with the
schematics gave no obvious errors, but who knows!?

One additional question, is it correct that this board is not
supported by the full version CCstudio via the USB emulator, but only
when using a true JTAG emulator?

Any help is welcome!

Thank you very much, and with best regards

Ralph.

Problem solved. A 33 ohm resistor was knackered, R48, disconnecting a WE line to RAM. Ralph.
