Set board to emulation Boot

In order to be able to immediately connect to both ARM and DSP on each board, it is necessary to set it to emulation boot.

Board settings for emulation are:

S7:8	S7:7	S7:6	S7:5
ON	OFF	OFF	ON

See details on table 2.11 of the Logic Quick Start Guide.

Connecting using CCS3.3

This page was tested with CCS3 SR12. SR 12 installation is necessary for the OMAP-L1/C674x connection with an external emulator.

XDS100v1 embedded emulation - DSP only

NOTE: The OMAP-L138 EVM board has more than one USB connector. Make sure that you are connected to the correct one. Please page 6, section 1.4 of this document. It contains a picture of the board - connect to the the USB cable to the V connector described on the page.

For the CCSv3.3 that comes with the EVM, simply install CCS, drivers and BSL from the CD and click on one of the Desktop icons:

If you already have a full version of CCS installed you will need to download at least CCS Service Release 12.If you want to know what Service Release you have, please see this page. To install the latest Service Release please see this page.

Go to LogicPD's web site.

Click on the Kit Contents tab, at the bottom of the page click at: TMS320C6748 SOM-M1 GEL, CCS Setup, & BSL Files - you will need to create an account in their website if you do not have one already and download the files.

Go to CC3 Setup and click File -> Import. Browse to the configurations that you just got from Logic's site (...\1014014A_TMS320C6748_GEL_BSL_Files\evmc6748_v1\import) and select the file to import: C6748_xds100.ccs

You can also make sure that the correct GEL file is in that configuration:

1) Right click on the TMS320C674x_0 core and select Properties...

2) Browse to the GEL file you downloaded from Logic's website: ...\1014014A_TMS320C6748_GEL_BSL_Files\evmc6748_v1\gel\C6748.gel

3) Click OK

From this you should be able to connect to the DSP. This configuration does not support connection to the ARM.

Connection errors using CCSv4 and XDS100

These are some common connection errors seen with CCSv4 and XDS100.

"Error connecting to the target: Error 0x80000240/-151 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS"

With XDS100 systems, this can occur because the EEPROM was not programmed properly. Please check with your XDS100 manufacturer.

More details on checking the VID/PID for your EEPROM are at XDS100#Q:_How_can_I_check_if_the_VID.2FPID_for_the_EEPROM_are_programmed_correctly.3F. If incorrect VID/PIDs are seen, you need to contact your manufacturer, or get the VID/PID on EEPROM programmed properly. To reprogram the EEPROM, please see XDS100#Q:_What_should_the_USB_device.27s_UID_.28VID.2FPID.29_be.3F_2.

With CCS 4.1.2 and newer, a bug was fixed so that the XDS100 software could properly connect only to a XDS100 VID/PID values. In older versions of CCS, the XDS100 software would connect to any VID/PID value causing incompatibilties with non-XDS100 FTDI based devices plugged into the same PC. So with CCS 3.3, the connection to a incorrectly programmed EEPROM would still work, while with CCS 4.1.2 and higher it would fail. The solution is to reprogram the EEPROM with correct VID/PID as described above.

"Error connecting to the target: Error 0x80002240/-151 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control,"

This error could occur if the USB connector is connected to the wrong port on the board. The OMAP-L138 EVM board has more than one USB connector. Make sure that you are connected to the correct one. Please page 6, section 1.4 of this document. It contains a picture of the board - connect the USB cable to the V connector described on the page.
