ing execution time. One can step through a program in different ways (step into,
over, or out).
Real-time analysis can be performed using real-time data exchange (RTDX)
(Chapter 9). RTDX allows for data exchange between the host PC and the target
DSK, as well as analysis in real time without stopping the target. Key statistics and
performance can be monitored in real time. Through the joint team action group
(JTAG), communication with on-chip emulation support occurs to control and
monitor program execution. The C6713 DSK board includes a JTAG interface
through the USB port.

1.3.1 CCS Installation and Support

Use the USB cable to connect the DSK board to the USB port on the PC. Use the
5-V power supply included with the DSK package to connect to the

5-V power
connector on the DSK to turn it on. Install CCS with the CD-ROM included with
the DSK, preferably using the c:\C6713 structure (in lieu of c:\ti as the default).
The CCS icon should be on the desktop as “C6713DSK CCS” and is used to
launch CCS. The code generation tools (C compiler, assembler, linker) are used with
CCS version 2.x.
CCS provides useful documentations included with the DSK package on the
following (see the Help icon):

+

1. Code generation tools (compiler, assembler, linker, etc.)
2. Tutorials on CCS, compiler, RTDX
3. DSP instructions and registers
4. Tools on RTDX, DSP/basic input/output system (DSP/BIOS), and so on.

An extensive amount of support material ( pdf files) is included with CCS. There
are also examples included with CCS within the folder c:\C6713\examples .
They illustrate the board and chip support library files, DSP/BIOS, and so on. CCS
Version 2.x was used to build and test the examples included in this topic. A number
of files included in the following subfolders/directories within c:\C6713 (suggested
structure during CCS installation) can be very useful:

1 . myprojects : a folder supplied only for your projects. All the folders in the
accompanying topic CD should be placed within this subdirectory.
2. bin : contains many utilities.
3. docs : contains documentation and manuals.
4. c6000\cgtools : contains code generation tools.
5. c6000\RTDX : contains support files for real-time data transfer.
6. c6000\bios : contains support files for DSP/BIOS.
7. examples : contains examples included with CCS.
8. tutorial : contains additional examples supplied with CCS.
