Overview

TI 3rd parties provide XDS510™ and XDS560™ class emulators that support real-time JTAG scan-based emulation with product support across the complete line of TI devices. These emulators are tightly integrated with the Code Composer Studio IDE™ to make all of TI's real-time emulation control and visualization capabilities available to the developer. TI 3rd parties provide logic analyzers, hardware testing equipment, and a wide array of emulators that support different host I/O interfaces, including USB, Ethernet, PCI, parallel port, PCMCIA, and ISA bus.

Warning: Note that these products are only available to approved TI 3rd parties. They are sold as-is, with no support.
Warning: Emulation Porting Kits are NOT supported!

For customers interested in test automation, Debug Server Scripting is recommended. This can provide access through scripts or API to enable automated testing. Examples include: repetitively loading a target with a program, running it, and retrieving memory variables that indicate test results.

A: TI sells the Emulation Porting Kit (EPK) products which include emulation drivers for all the TI processor families (such as c2000, C5000, c6000, and ARM). These drivers work with CCS. These drivers also assume that they utilize the TI emulator reference design, which is specified in the EPK. This makes supporting the TI DSP on an existing emulator complex if you wish to adapt the driver code to your hardware design. But, if you utilize the TI reference design, support can be provided quickly and easily.

A: No. XDS100 does not need an EPK. The schematic to build the design is at Xds100#How_to_make_an_XDS100_.2F_How_to_build_an_XDS100_hardware_emulator. Once built, the XDS100 will work with CCSv4, as USB drivers, and CCS drivers are included in the Code Composer Studio v4 installation.
