Description

The C5515 Evaluation Module (EVM) is an all-in-one
evaluation platform for the TMS320C5515 Digital Signal
Processor from Texas Instruments. It includes a target
board that can be used as a reference design. Included is
a board specific version of TI's flagship Code Composer
Studio development tools. An on-board JTAG emulator
allows debug from Code Composer Studio through your
PC's USB port.

This kit contains everything you need to get started with TI
DSPs. It can also be used with the full version of Code
Composer Studio and an external JTAG emulator.

Install EVM Content from the CD-ROM

Note: Install ALL software prior to connecting the

C5515 EVM to the computer !
Note: The user MUST be logged onto windows with

“Administrative Rights” and any anti-virus software
must be disabled during installations. Please
contact your system administrator if help is needed
in this area.

1. Insert the Code Composer Studio (CCS) v4 DVD into
the computer’s DVD drive and wait for the auto-run
application to start. The user prompts will step the
user through the rest of the CCS installation. The
installation will place a CCS icon on your desktop.

2. At this time plug the C5515 EVM into a USB port on
your laptop or PC. Windows will recognize the ne w
hardware connection and complete the hardware
installation automatically. The C5515 EVM will
enumerate as a DSK5510 as they share emulation
drivers.

3. Launch CCS v4 from the shortcut icon on the desktop.

4. A prompt will appear asking for a workspace location.

Each time CCS starts up the main workspace is the
main working folder for CCS. The default location will
be (on Windows XP) “C:\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\MyDocuments\workspace”. To
have CCS automatically default to the specified
workspace location, select the “Use this as the default
and do not ask again” option.

5. Create a user license. After launching CCS, the user

may be prompted to create a user license to activate
the CCS software. Select the “Activate a License”
option. If prompted click “Use Free Limited License”.
This will re-direct you to the Texas Instruments
website to complete the License creation process.
Alternatively, the “Activate a License” step may be
bypassed temporarily and completed at a later date
by clicking “Evaluate Code Composer Studio for 30
days”.

6. If you receive a prompt that automatic updates are

available select “NO” and proceed, You can get
these updates later after successfully running a CCS
session.

CCS Configuration Instructions

1. Launch CCS v4 from the shortcut on the desktop.
(This was created when CCS v4 was installed).

2. The CCS v4 window will appear. Click the “Target”
menu, then select “New Target Configuration File”.

3. The “New Target Configuration” window will appear.
Enter a file name that describes the emulator
connection and/or Texas Instruments device being
used and click “Finish”. For example:
“EVM5515”.

4. The “Basic” configuration setup window will open in
the CCS v4. Select “Spectrum Digital
DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator” from the
“Connection” menu. Type “5515” in the “Device” field
and select “EVM5515”, from the list.

5. Click the “Save” button to save the configuration.

6. Click the “View” menu and select “Target
Configurations” to expose the configuration(s) that

Target”. CCS will attempt to connect to the C5515
EVM and run the GEL file. Once the connection is
successful and the GEL file has finished, the console
window will print a message stating
“Target Connection Complete”.

Debug Hints and Trouble Shooting

1. If installing on Windows XP and your PC is connected
to the internet through a firewall the USB install may
take up to 15 minutes if you let it complete normally.
The work-around for this issue is to simply disconnect
your network cable during the USB hardware install.

2. Some of the Help Files are links to Adobe Acrobat
PDF files. If you intend to access these files you must
have Adobe Acrobat installed on your system.

3. If you want to verify a successful USB driver install,
open your device manager by right clicking on the My
Computer icon on your desktop and selecting
Properties --> HW --> Device Manager. You should
see a new class “SD USB Based Debug Tools” and
one Spectrum Digital TMS320C5510 DSK installed.

4. The Embedded EMU BUSY LED (DS1) beside the
USB connector comes on when power is applied to
the EVM. Do not launch Code Composer until the
LED is off.

Error Messages

Many of the error messages below refer to USB
enumeration issues. The following window will appear
when launching CCS or the Diagnostic Utility indicating
the enumeration status.

1. Message:
Failed: Requires Win98, Win2K or Win XP.
Problem: Your operating system does not support
USB.

2. Message:
Failed: USB device is NOT enumerated or plugged in.
Problem: Windows cannot find the EVM. Check
power and USB Cable.

3. Message:
Failed: Load USB Application.
Problem: Loader could not download the EVM
emulation application. The on-board emulation
controller could be in a bad state. Cycle power on the
EVM.

4. Message:
Failed: USB Channel in use by another app.
Problem: Another application is using the EVM USB
communication channel. Only one application is
allowed to communicate to the EVM over the USB
channel at the same time. Check for active
applications using the Windows Task Manager if open
application is not obvious.

5. Message:
Waiting for USB Enumeration.
Status: This is a status message which indicates that
Code Composer Studio is waiting for communication
with the on-board JTAG emulator to be established.
This should take less than 10 seconds. Do not hit the
close button unless it is clear that something is wrong
(the progress bar runs forever).
