Run the following to rebuild the DSP program: cl6x -@options The result is a C6x executable file CnfDSP.out. The DSP program CnfDSP.out was designed along with a Host program dsk6xtst.exe. The Host program loads the DSP program and sends commands to the DSP program. But, there are two methods to run the test without the Host program dsk6xtst. --------------------------------------------------------------- Method 1 --------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Launch Code Composer(CC). 2) Load the program CnfDSP.out. 3) Select the Command Window from the Tools Menu. 4) Start the Program by clicking the Run Target button. 5) Return to the Command Window and Enter the command "take doall.cmd". 6) Click the Execute button on the Command Window. 7) Click the CC Halt button to run each test. Wait for each test to complete! The message "DSP Ready for HOST Command." is shown at the end of each test. 8) Repeat Step 7 for each test. The Confidence Test is complete when you see two messages. "HOST Requested End of Processing." and "That's All Folks!" --------------------------------------------------------------- Method 2 --------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Launch Code Composer(CC). 3) Remove the existing GEL file 3) Load the GEL file "ConfTest.gel" This automatically loads the CnfDSP.out file. 4) Start the Program by clicking the Run Target button. 5) Go to the GEL Menu, Confidence test and click on Handshake. 6) Return to the GEL Menu and select a test. To fully test the DSK it is recommended that the tests be selected in sequence. But, note that order is NOT important. AND each test can be repeated if necessary. 7) Select Quit when Done. With Method 2 there are some user interface tools to try. First setup Code Composer as follows: 1) Select Memory window from the View menu twice. a) Use Address 0x00000200 to view the HandShakingBuffer. b) Use Address 0x80000000 to view the beginning of SDRAM. Slider UI: 3) Go to the GEL menu, User Interface and select Blinks. 4) Go to the GEL menu, User Interface and select Period. 5) Position the Slider controls side by side. 6) Adjusting the Sliders will write values in the HandShakingBuffer. 7) Return to the GEL menu, Confidence test and click on LEDS. This will display the LEDS using values from the Sliders. Dialog box UI: 8) Go to the GEL menu, User Interface and select Program_SDRAM. 9) Position the Dialog box away from the Sliders and Memory view windows. 10) Enter three values in the Dialog box. The values are as follows: a) 32-bit word to write to SDRAM (ex. 0x12345678) b) Address offset from the beginning of SDRAM (ex. 0x10) c) Number of consecutive locations to write (ex. 10) 11) Click on the Dialog box Execute button. Observe the change in the first three entries in the HandShakingBuffer Memory view window. 12) Return to the GEL menu, Confidence test and click on PGMEM. 13) Right click on the Memory view window for SDRAM. Then Refresh. This will show the Dialog box values written to SDRAM.
