Add a Files to Project

After Creating the project and source file we
must add some addition files to our project.
These addition files may vary depend upon
the projects which we used.
Create/add new source files to your project
by right-clicking on the project in the C/C+
+ Projects

From the CCStudio C/C++ Projects, Right

This file will help to communicate between
hardware and softeware. While connecting
the hardware to the software the target
configuration file will run. If any initialize
needed we can add gel file additionally in
the target configuration.
In General setup,
Connection : XDS 100 USB emulator version 1
Device : TMS320F2812( Target Device ).

Tick the TMS320F2812 & Click Save.

Build a Project
Before Building the project we must
modify project properties , add the include
files and path according to our usage.
From the CCStudio C/C++ Projects, Right
click the led [ Active Debug ]
Properties.

Compiler Option
In C/C++ Build, go to C2000 compiler

search path(--include_path,-I)) select
this
add icon and add the following
two path by indivdually.
"${XDAIS_CG_ROOT}/packages/ti/xdais
"C:/tidcs/c28/DSP281x/v120/DSP281x_h
eaders/include"

Linker Option
IN C/C++ Build, go to c2000 linker
Basic option - stack size : 0x400.
Include lib or cmd file as input (--library,-I):

Note: at this step, Target will connect, gel
file will run, led.out will load to target then
finally Keep the cursor at main() of
program to start execute.

This is Debug workspace., at this we can

debug a code using breakpoints, single
stepping, watch window, memory etc..,

 Target Run.
For led code, check the output at on
board. The Leds is will on and off with few
delay.
Target Halt.

Target Terminate all.

Again, the ccs will return to edit workspace

from debug workspce.

Console Window
