2 Introduction
The SMT6012 provides the drivers required to use Code Composer (CC) and Code Composer Studio (CCS) with the following Sundance Multiprocessor Technology range of carrier boards:
Texas Instruments software, if purchased through Sundance, will include the SMT6012.
Sundance carrier board Description
SMT300 Single TIM cPCI carrier board
SMT300Q 4 TIM cPCI carrier board
SMT310 Single TIM PCI carrier board
SMT310Q 4 TIM PCI carrier board
SMT320 (Obsolete) 4 TIM PCI carrier board
SMT327 (Obsolete) 4 TIM cPCI carrier board
Table 1 - Sundance hardware supported by the SMT6012
The SMT300, SMT300Q, SMT310 and SMT310Q carrier boards all use the driver for the SMT310. Similarly, the SMT320 and SMT327 both use the driver for the SMT320. For the remainder of this document, SMT310 will refer to the SMT300, SMT300Q, SMT310 and the SMT310Q. The SMT320 will refer to the SMT320 and the SMT327.
If you are using a SMT320, check to make sure which version of the SMT320 you are using. The version number of a SMT320 is written on the PCB, near the blue handle and next to the serial number (ADC4-xxxx).
This document describes how to select a CC or CCS driver based on:
• The carrier board you use.
• The version of CC or CCS.
• On-board or off-board debugging requirement.
User Manual (QCF42); Version 4.6, 26/06/02; © Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Ltd. 2002
Version 4.6 Page 6 of 22 SMT6012 User Manual
You need to have at least the following version of CC or CCS installed.
Processor type CC or CCS version required
C4x CC version 4.3
C6x CCS version 1.0 or higher (The FULL VERSION, not the
limited version supplied with an evaluation board).
3 System requirements
3.1 Software
• The PC Operating System must be Windows 9x / NT 4.0 / Windows 2000 or above.
• On a Windows NT / Windows 2000/ XP system, you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights.
3.2 Hardware
• The PC must supply 3.3V on the PCI bus. If you are not sure, please check the voltage between a mounting hole of your carrier card And a Ground from a PC power cable. Only a few C4x TIMs do not require 3.3V.
• Ensure that the bolt makes contact with the metal ring of the mounting hole. See the user manual of your carrier board for the details.

4 Debug configurations
The Sundance carrier board includes a JTAG controller chip. This chip enables the various processor elements on the carrier board to communicate information between each other.
CC and CCS uses the JTAG chain to debug processors. The JTAG chain interconnects hardware elements as shown in Figure 1 - JTAG Chain.

Figure 1 - JTAG Chain
On-board and off-board debugging refers to the way the JTAG chain is used.
For on-board debugging the JTAG chain is local to the carrier board. The JTAG controller selects the input from the “TDI On-board” pin. This effectively disables the external JTAG chain.
For Off-board debugging, the JTAG controller chip selects its input from the external connector. This implies that the JTAG chain now includes the external JTAG chain. This configuration is useful when you want to debug external hardware using the carrier board as a master.
If you are connecting the carrier board to other carrier boards located in the same system, you can use the on-board JTAG connector to make their JTAG paths part of the JTAG chain of the master carrier board.
Please refer to the user manual of the carrier board that you are using for the details on how to connect the carrier board with an external JTAG chain.
CCS detects the carrier board with the highest I/O address first. On each of the carrier boards, the processor in TIM site 1 is detected first and then the processor on TIM site 2 etc.

5 Software Installation and Setup
Insert the SMT6012 CD into your CD drive. If the setup program does not start automatically, then open explorer, browse to the CD and run Setup.exe.
5.1 Driver directory structure
The CC and CCS drivers are installed to your PC under the “..\System32” directory. During the setup of CC or CCS, you will need to refer to these drivers. For CCS version 2.x the .cfg files needed to set up CCS are installed as shown in the figure.
Figure 2 - Directory structure of CC and CCS drivers
5.2 Determining the I/O address of your carrier board
After installing the SMT6012 software, you will need to find the base I/O address of the Sundance carrier board. This address is required to set-up CC or CCS. You can use the SMTBoardInfo.exe application that is supplied along with the SMT6300 software.
5.3 Setting up code composer studio version 2.x
• Run the Code Composer Setup program. Select the “Install a device driver” link on the right hand side window. Browse to the driver’s directory under your CCS directory. This is normally “C:\ti\drivers”. Next select the relevant XDS driver file. The driver file you select will depend on the specifics of the DSP you have. (For C62 and C67 type processors, this is typically the “tixds6000.drv” and for C64 processors it is typically "tixds6400.drv".) Refer to the TI documentation for which driver to use. Note that the
User Manual (QCF42); Version 4.6, 26/06/02; © Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Ltd. 2002
Version 4.6 Page 9 of 22 SMT6012 User Manual
driver you should use may depend on the silicon rev of the processor you are using.
• Note: For illustrative purposes only, we are using the "tixds6000.drv" file.
Figure 3 - Selecting the standard XDS driver
• In the “Device driver properties” window, click OK.
• In the “Available Boards/ Simulator types” window, double-click the relevant

6 Master/Slave configuration
It is possible to use a carrier board as a master board that is used to debug a slave board in a remote system. In this case the slave boards have to be part of the JTAG chain of the master board. The figure below shows such a configuration. Each processor on the slave boards has to be specified in the CCS setup. Ensure that CCS is set up to point to the master carrier board.

7 Problematic configurations
7.1 Using C4x type processors with Code Composer Studio
CCS does not support the C4X range of processors. If you are using C4x type processors, then you need to declare them as “Bypass” processors in the CCS setup. The “Number of bits in the instruction register” must be set to 8. This will cause CCS to know about the processors in the JTAG chain.
Sundance’s non-DSP module must not be set, neither as CPU nor as Bypass as they don’t have any scan path, i.e., TDI is routed directly to TDO. This means that they won’t appear in the System Configuration window.
However, if the non-DSP module has a scan path, then it must be added as a bypassed module with a “Number of bits in the instruction register” set as specified in its User Manual.
For further information about how to bypass devices that are not recognized by your CCS driver, please refer to the help.
Example:
The user has a SMT320 with a C6x TIM in site 0 (root), a C6x TIM in site 1, a C4x TIM in site 2 and a non-DSP TIM (from Sundance) in site 3.
The setting for CCS 2.0 should look like this:

7.2 Code Composer Studio setup for mixed C62-C67 configuration
CCS version 2.0 allows the use of mixed C62 and C67 processors. If this is your requirement, we recommend you to update to CCS version 2.0.
7.3 Code Composer Studio Setup for multiple carrier boards
If you have more than one Sundance carrier board in your system, that you would like to use independently, you will need to setup CCS version 2.0 or later.
7.4 Mixed C4x/C6x Configuration
The C4x module must be bypassed with "number of bits in the instruction register" set to 8. This is what CCS Setup should look like:

7.5 Using a C6x to program a C4x (Hex Loader)
It is possible to boot a C4x using a C6x processor. For an example of this, please contact support@sundance.com.
8 Trouble Shooting
8.1 Using Code Composer and Code Composer Studio:
• If there is an error during compilation, it could means that T.I. Compiler/linker and environment settings are not configured properly. Please refer to T.I. documentation.
If Code Composer doesn’t open it may be because:
• Code Composer was not setup properly. Check the I/O port address and the driver used are correct.
• Sundance hardware was not installed properly. Check that the board is plugged properly and that it is supplied with 3.3V if required (bolt must make contact with the mounting hole ring).
• Ensure you are using the CCS driver.
9 Known Issues
9.1 Code Composer Studio
9.1.1 Exit
When exiting CCS, always ensure that the CPU is running free. To do this, click DebugÆRun Free before closing your CCS session.
Failure to this will result in the DSP being halted, which would cause the DSP to stop responding to other applications. If you now reset the TIM module, the DSP will not load the boot loader.
To recover from the condition described above, open CCS again, and select Debug­>Run Free from the menu.
