Testing Your Connection
If you want to test your DSK and USB connection you can
launch the C6416 DSK Diagnostic Utility from the icon on
your desktop.
From the diagnostic utility, press the start button to run the
diagnostics. In approximately 30 seconds all the on-screen
test indicators should turn green.
Starting Code Composer
To start Code Composer Studio, double click the 6416
DSK CCStudio icon on your desktop.
Running the DSK Tutorial
The on-line help included with the DSK contains in-depth
information about the hardware and software that comes
with the kit. It also contains a tutorial that will help you get
started with your DSK and learn about its features. To
access the on-line help and run the tutorial, follow these
steps:
1. Start Code Composer Studio (ignore this if CCS is
already running) by double-clicking on the C6416
DSK icon on your desktop.
2. Use the Debug --> Connect menu option to open a
debug connection to the DSK board.
3. Launch the DSK help file by opening the following file
using Windows Explorer.
C:\CCStudio\docs\hlp\c6416dsk.hlp
4. Look in the section entitled “Welcome to Your
‘C6416 DSK”. You will find the tutorial and other
introductory material there. Note that older versions
of CCStudio use c:\ti as the default install path instead
of c:\CCStudio so you may have to adjust the path
names to match the actual location of files on your
PC.
