 BHCheck33

 

The Blackhawk driver verification utility (BHCheck33) is designed for CCStudio v3.3 installations.  This read-only utility will scan the user's system and verify that the Blackhawk emulation files are up to date with those files installed for CCStudio v3.3.

 

This utility checks for the following:

  • A valid, non-DSK CCStudio v3.3 installation

  • CCStudio v3.3 Service Release level

  • Blackhawk v3.3 Drivers are installed

  • Verify the evision of Blackhawk drivers match CCStudio

 

 

Upon analysis, the utility will make recommendations, such as:

  • Install a FULL, non-DSK copy of CCStudio v3.3

  • Install Blackhawk Emulation Drivers

  • Update Blackhawk Emulation Drivers to revision matching CCStudio

  • Nothing- you are up to date.

 BHDetect

 

The Blackhawk Detection and Analysis tool (BHDetect) is a read-only program that will scan and analyze your system for errors.  Errors can be related to missing files, incorrect file revisions, CCSetup issues, emulator device drivers, etc.

 

BHDetect will report its findings into a log file.  This log file can be sent to Blackhawk for further examination and proposed solutions to issues you may be experiencing.

 

 

The latest version of BHDetect can be downloaded from the link below, which is updated as new versions are released.

 BHLoader

 

The Blackhawk Program Load Utility (BHLoader) is a standalone program that allows you to load and run an executable COFF (.out file) via Blackhawk emulator to a target board with a TI DSP.  BHLoader does not require CCStudio.

 

BHLoader can be used as a verification tool, loading specific programs starting from development and continuing all the way to production test.

 BHProbe

 

The Blackhawk Emulator Probe Utility (BHProbe) is designed to test communication to the Blackhawk emulator from the PC as well as test the scan chain of the target board without Code Composer Studio. 

 

BHProbe aids users in determining if they have any operational problems with the emulator or the target board without involving any CCSetup issues, incorrect file versions, etc. that can mask the real cause of an error.

 

Please note that this utility presumes that the emulator device drivers are already installed.

 BHFlashburn

 

The Blackhawk FlashBurn application (BHFlashburn) is an emulator utility designed for use with TI C2000 digital signal controllers (DSCs) allowing you to program the on-chip flash memory of the TI DSCs.

 

BHFlashburn does not require Code Composer Studio and is compatible with the TI C2000 Flash API algorithms supplied by TI and used by CCStudio Flash plug-in.

 

 

This utility is updated regularly to include programming API files for new devices.  Please check with Blackhawk for support of any recently released or announced devices.

 Remote Emulation Server

 

The Blackhawk Remote Emulation Server (RES) allows an XDS560-class JTAG emulator installed in a PC with Ethernet interface to be accessed remotely over a local area network (LAN) from other PCs running Code Composer Studio.

 

The RES software comes in two versions.  Remote Emulation Server SE, the standard edition,  supports only Blackhawk XDS560-class JTAG emulators.  The professional version, Remote Emulation Server PRO, includes support for TI and other third party XDS560-class emulators in additional to Blackhawk XDS560-class emulators.
