MATLAB Link for Code Composer Studio Development Tools

Selecting Your Target

Links for CCS IDE provides two tools for selecting a DSP board and processor in multiprocessor configurations. One is a command line tool called ccsboardinfo which prints a list of the available boards and processors. So that you can use this function in a script, ccsboardinfo can return a MATLAB structure that you use when you want your script to select a target board without your help.

Note    The board and processor you select in the tutorial remains the target throughout the tutorial.

1. To see a list of the boards and processors installed on your PC, type

• ccsboardinfo
  

1. MATLAB returns a list that shows you all the boards and processors that CCS IDE recognizes as installed on your system.

2. To use the Selection Utility, boardprocsel, to select a target board, type

• [boardnum,procnum] = boardprocsel
  

1. When you use boardprocsel, you see a dialog similar to the following. Note that some entries vary depending on your board set.

   

3. Select a board name and processor name from the lists.

1. You are selecting a board and processor number that identifies your particular target. When you create the link for CCS IDE in the next section of this tutorial, the selected board and processor become the target of the link.

4. Click Done to accept your board and processor selection and close the dialog.

1. boardnum and procnum now represent the Board name and Processor name you selected--boardnum = 1 and procnum = 0
