Introduction
TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM
USB Stick Development
Tool is a small form factor,
very low cost USB-powered
DSP development tool
which includes all the
hardware and software
needed to evaluate the
industrys lowest power 16bit DSP : TMS320C5515.
C5515 provides a
foundation for a range of
signal processing
applications, including
voice recorder, musical
instruments, portable
medical solutions and other consumer electronics in industrial
and security applications. [1]
TMS320C5515 eZdsp USB Stick Development Tool

In this subject, we use this tool to study various DSP applications.

First of all, we need to get familiar with related materials
including CCS and example library provided with the tool.

Code Composer Studio

Installation steps
1. Insert the CCSv4 DVD provided with the tool into computers disk
drive and wait for the auto-run to start. Alternatively, we can
download CCS on www.ti.com to get the latest version, and then
double-click on the setup file. We used the second method.
2. The installation wizard window pops up. Follow the instructions to
go through the installation steps.
3. Plug the TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB Stick into the USB port

on laptop. Window recognizes the hardware and completes

the remaining hardware installation automatically.
4. When installation has finished, double-click the shortcut icon on
desktop created by the wizard. Precise the workspace we wish to
store all the project files.
5. Inside the program, go to Help -> Code Composer Studio
Licensing Information -> choose Free license.

Hardware configuration steps

1. Inside the program, go to View -> Target configurations ->
right click on User Defined -> New Target Configuration ->
specify name and location -> Finish.
2. Double-click on the target icon we have just created. Specify
the corresponding setups for TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB

Stick -> Save.

3. Go to File -> Import -> Existing CCS Eclipse Project ->

point to the library provided with the tool, or downloaded

from
http://support.spectrumdigital.com/boards/usbstk5515_v
2/reva/files/usbstk5515_BSL_RevA.zip
4. Go to View -> Project Explorer. A list of example project is
shown on the left of the screen. Click on uled project.
5. Go back to Target Configuration window -> right-click on the
target file we have just created -> Link File to Project ->
choose uled.

LEDs display demonstrations

1.Right-shift 4 OLEDs
Open uled project -> choose Debug icon

on the

toolbar (or press F11) -> click Resume

The 4 LEDs on
the board should blink from left to right, one after another
in 6 loops.

Lab 1 report

We can see the source code for this demonstration in uled_test.c as

follows:
#include "usbstk5515.h"
#include "usbstk5515_led.h"
#include "stdio.h"
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *
*
*
* uled_test( )
*
*
User LED tests toggles each of the four user LEDs 6 times
*
*
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */
Int16 uled_test( )
{
Int16 i, j;

printf(" User LED tests toggles each of the four user LEDs 6 times\n");
SYS_EXBUSSEL = 0x6000; // Enable user LEDs on external bus
USBSTK5515_ULED_init( );
/* Running LED test */
for ( j = 0 ; j < 6 ; j++ )
{
for ( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
{
if ( USBSTK5515_ULED_on( i ) ) // Turn on user LED i
return 1;
USBSTK5515_waitusec( 50000 );
}
for ( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
{
if ( USBSTK5515_ULED_off( i ) ) // Turn off user LED i
return 2;
USBSTK5515_waitusec( 50000 );
}
}
USBSTK5515_ULED_setall( 0x00 );
return 0;
}

2.Left-shift 4 OLEDs
Open uled project -> double-click on uled_test.c ->
modify the loop as follows:
/* Running LED test */
for ( j = 0 ; j < 6 ; j++ )
{
for ( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
{
if ( USBSTK5515_ULED_on( 3-i ) ) // Turn on user LED i
return 1;
USBSTK5515_waitusec( 50000 );
}
for ( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
{
if ( USBSTK5515_ULED_off( 3-i ) ) // Turn off user LED i
return 2;
USBSTK5515_waitusec( 50000 );
}
}

The 4 LEDs now blink from right to left, one after another in 6 loops.

3.Flashing a 4-bit counter

Open uled project -> double-click on uled_test.c -> modify the
uled_test subroutine as follows:
Int16 uled_test( )
{
Int16 i, j;
printf(" User LED tests toggles each of the four user LEDs 6 times\n");
SYS_EXBUSSEL = 0x6000; // Enable user LEDs on external bus
USBSTK5515_ULED_init( );
/* Running LED test */
while (1){
for ( j = 15 ; j >= 0 ; j-- )
{
USBSTK5515_ULED_setall(j);
USBSTK5515_waitusec( 500000 );
}
}
}

return 0;

The 4 LEDs now become a 4-bit counter with each LED represents one of four
bits. The counter counts up from 0 to 15 and return to 0 to start over again.

Conclusion
In this lab experiment session, we succeeded to get the Code
Composer Studio installed on our laptops as well as managed to
configure CCS to be compatible with TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB
Stick. We also succeeded to run our first demonstrations on the 4 LEDs
by modifying the example source codes supplied with the tool.
We can expand further by modifying the example codes to get the 4
LEDs become a 4-bit counter counting down from 15 to 0, simply by
replacing the line
for ( j = 15 ; j >= 0 ; j-- )

by
for ( j = 0 ; j >= 15 ; j++ )

in the uled_test.c file.
