Readme Trouble Shooting
The program examples have been tested extensively using Code Composer Studio version
4.2.3 and (slightly) less extensively using Code Composer Studio version 5.1.0 and using both
Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.
Although communication with the eXperimenter board is via its inbuilt XDS100 JTAG
emulator, when installing Code Composer Studio, select Spectrum Digital and Blackhawk
emulators as shown below.
If you can’t see any projects in the Project View window
If you’ve loaded and run a program, e.g. L138_sine48_buf_intr.c, that should simply
output a signal, but it didn't produce any analog output
First check all hardware connections. Are your loudspeakers switched on? (it can happen to
the best of us!)
In Code Composer Studio version 4, in the Debug perspective, try selecting Target->CPU
Reset or Target->System Reset, followed by Target->Restart and then Target->Run.
Alternatively try selecting Target->Load->Reload Program followed by Target->Run.
In Code Composer Studio version 5, the equivalent selections are Run->CPU Reset, etc.
In the C/C++ perspective, have a look at the Build Options for the project. Make sure that, as
shown in Figures 1.23 and 1.24, the C6000 Compiler Include Options
c:\eXperimenter\L138_support and c:\omapl138\bsl\inc and that the
C6000 Linker File Search Path includes rts6740.lib and
c:\omapl138\bsl\lib\evmomapl138_bsl.lib.
If you can't get a microphone to work with the board (e.g. with program L138_echo_intr.c)
The following (relatively) inexpensive microphones have been used successfully with an
analog, pre-ADC gain of 24 dB (see page 44).
A microphone having impedance 300 Ohms and sensitivity -52 dB has been tested and
c:\c674x-dsplib_1_03_00_01
and corresponding C6000 Linker File Search Path settings in the Build Options for certain
projects are supplied. If the library is installed elsewhere, changes to the Build Options will
be necessary.
The last sentence on page 7 should conclude "it was installed at c:\c674x-
dsplib_1_03_00_01." and NOT "it was installed at c:\C6748_dsp_1_00_00_11."
