Programming BBB A5C using TI CCS 5.5.0

Hi,

I have a beginners question related to the Beaglebone Black and programming using TI’s Code Composer Studio v5.5.0. In the past I have programmed MicroChip PIC controllers which require a JTAG connection to the chip. I have also used MicroChip development boards which allow for JTAG emulation over a USB connection. My assumption for the BBB was that it would work the same way and not require an external JTAG interface product. If this correct or not?

Thanks

BBB requires an external JTAG emulator.

Thanks Gerald. Is there a list of JTAG emulators which would work with BBB and CCS?

Pretty much any of them will. You need to install the header into the board first…

Thanks Gerald. Is there a list of JTAG emulators which would work with BBB and CCS?

Probably the most cost effective is USB100V2 or XDS100V2. Search on Google for a list of suppliers.

I have no such list. I suggest you look at Spectrum Digital and Blackhawk. Whether they work or not has nothing to do with the BBB. It has to do with the processor. So, check compatibility with the processor and make sure you have an adapter, pin out and voltage, for the header used on BBB.

Looks like the USB100v2 model D is the way to go.

Thanks.

Look at

… and keep in mind that other emulators require a licensing fee.
