DSP LAB 1: Setup and Demos

1. Introduction:
Introducing the USB Kit TMS320C5535/C5515 eZdsp and tool Code Composer Studio
(CCS).
2. Requirements:
- Kit TMS320C5535/C5515.
- Installation of CCS.
Note: Because the unstability of software version CCS, you can meet error when
installing. The version used in this report is 12.1.0.00007 with Win10 64.
3. Software installation:
- Go to the link: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO to download the
software. Pay attention to the version and the compatibility of OS and software.
- Start to install -> Choose the location of installed software -> “Full installation”

- Restart computer after finishing the installation.

- Run CCS -> Choose workspace location.
4. KIT Configuration:
- If you want to run the code in KIT DSP, you have to ensure the connection between
the software and KIT. To do that, you need to set up a configuration.
o View -> Target Configurations

o Create a new configuration.

o Choose the right Connection and Device from created configuration.

Connection: Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe (C5515)
and XDS100v2 (C5535)
Device: USBSTK5515 (for both KITs).
Save.

o Set as Default the created configuration and start to test the connection by
“Launch Selected Configuration”.

o When launching, the “Debug” window will appear. If not, you can open that
window in View tab. “Connect Target” to start test the connection.

o If the connection test is successful, in Console tab will appear “Target

Connection Complete”. If not, you need to recheck if your running
configuration is right. If you don’t see Console tab, you can open it in View.

5. Demos:
After ensuring the successful connection between KIT and software, we start to run some
project samples for demos.
- Import the project samples.

- Choose CCS Projects.

- Browse to the location of project samples. Select “tests” folder to import the
projects. C5515 project samples can be run in both KITs 5515/35.

- Select the projects that you want to import, then Finish.

- Project will appear in Project Explorer tab. If you don’t see the tab, you can open
in View.

Note: Because of the old version of the KIT and project samples, the compiler version in
CCS will be compatible with compiler version of projects. We need to install a matching
version of compiler to run the project without errors.
How to install compiler: Check the version of compiler needed in Console tab, then
download the matching version in the link: https://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-
esd/downloads/download_archive.htm#C5500. Install it (step 1), then change the
compiler version in “Show Build Settings” of the project (follow step 2-6).

- Build project (If no errors), then Debug.

- If no problems, the result is like the picture below.

- Click to run the code, to pause, and to stop the project.
