Step 2: Updating the board.dat File
You use the same board configuration (board.dat) file for the BTT software as
you do for the C source debugger. The board.dat file specifies the emulation
scan path of your target system. Because you are adding the
XDS522/XDS522A to your scan path, you must update your board.dat file. Al-
ternatively, you can create another board.dat file and specify which one to read
using the –f option on the command line (see Table 2–1 on page 2-6).
Follow these steps to update your board.dat file:
1) In a text editor, open your current board.cfg file. This file is usually in your
C source debugger directory.
2) Add the following after the current entries to identify the
XDS522/XDS522A:
”cpu_btt” TI320C50
Example 2–1 and Example 2–2 show valid board.cfg files; see your C
source debugger manual for more information about the board.cfg file.
3) Save and close the board.cfg file.
4) Using the source debugger’s composer utility at a DOS prompt, translate
the board.cfg file into a board.dat file. (For more information about the
composer utility, see your C source debugger user’s guide.) Use the fol-
lowing statement:
composer board.cfg [board.dat]
Note:
If you remove the XDS522/XDS522A from your emulation scan path, re-
member to remove the entry for the XDS522/XDS522A from the board.cfg
file and translate it again. Alternatively, you can use another board.dat file.
Example 2–1. Valid board.cfg File for a ’C2xx
”cpu_trg” TI320C2xx
”al” BYPASS08
”cpu_btt” TI320C50
Example 2–2. Valid board.cfg File for a ’C8
”se” TI370P08xxx
”dbm1” BYPASS08
”cpu_btt” TI320C50
Example 2–3. Valid board.cfg File for a ’C16
”se” TI370P16xxx
”dbm1” BYPASS08
”cpu_btt” TI320C50
