The Code Composer Studio (CCS) application provides an integrated environment with the
following capabilities:

Integrated development environment with an editor, debugger, project manager, profiler, etc.
C/C++ compiler, assembly optimiser and linker (code generation tools).
Simulator.
Real-time operating system (DSP/BIOS).
Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDX) between the Host and Target.
Real-time analysis and data visualisation.

CCS Installation and Setup

(A) Install the CCS Software.
(B)Run CCS Setup:

Start CCS setup utility by using the following desktop icon:

Alternatively:

Windows Start Menu -> Programs -> Texas Instruments -> Code Composer Studio 2 (C6000) -> Setup Code Composer Studio.
Run cc_setup.exe located in: c:\ti\cc\bin\

Setup CCS 2.lnk

CCS Installation and Setup

You should now see a screen similar to this:

Note: If you dont see the Import Configuration dialog box you should open it
from the menu using: File:Import.
Chapter 3, Slide 5

Dr. Naim

CCS Installation and Setup

You can clear the previous configuration by selecting the

configuration you wish to clear and clicking the clear button.
Next select a new configuration that you would like to add:

Chapter 3, Slide 6

Select the C6x11DSK Port x y Mode.

The port number, x, and port mode, y, depend on your PC setup.

Chapter 3, Slide 7

If you do not know your configuration

then you can select it automatically using
the Configure C6x11 DSK Utility.

Chapter 3, Slide 8

Finally save and quit the import

configuration dialog box.

Dr. Naim

Using CCS

Start CCS by either:

Using the desktop icon:

Start -> Programs -> Texas Instruments -> Code Composer Studio 2 ->
Code Composer Studio.
Run cc_app.exe in c:\ti\cc\bin\

Troubleshooting

If the following window appears on your screen then:

Chapter 3, Slide 10

Check that the DSK is connected properly and powered up.

Check if the port address and mode is correct (See Slide 7).

Dr. Naim

Introduction to the C6711 DSK

The C6711 DSK provides a powerful, low-cost development environment.

The DSK comes with CCS code development tools (does not include the
simulator).
A laboratory at the end of this section takes you through the DSK setup
and shows you how to run the confidence test to check if it is working
correctly.

Laboratory exercise: DSK hardware setup

Notes:
The SDRAM may take a while due to the large amount of SDRAM on the C6711 DSK.
The CODEC test performs two operations: (1) a 1kHz tone output, and (2) an audio input to output loopback. You must have a speaker connected to the the output jack to hear the test.
If the confidence test fails:
(1) Remove the power and parallel cable from the DSK.
(2) Reset your PC.
(3) Reconnect the power and the parallel cable.
(4) Invoke CCS.
