CrossCore Embedded Studio(CCES) Quick Start for Windows

This page is designed to allow users to quickly get connected to their Analog Devices evaluation boards using CCES.

Hardware Connection Types

There are usually 2 ways that users can connect to evaluation boards. An In Circuit Emulator(ICE), such as the ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 can be used or some ADI evaluation boards support a direct connection to the board using an on-board debug agent. In both cases, the communication between the host PC and the hardware is USB.

For information on hardware connections or how to to power up evaluation boards please see the appropriate hardware documentation.

CCES Setup - On-board Debug Agent

Follow these instructions to ensure correct operation of the product software and hardware.

Connect the board to a personal computer (PC)

  1. Plug one side of the USB cable into the evaluation board. Plug the other side into a USB port of the PC running CCES.
  2. Attach power to the evaluation board unless the evaluation board is USB bus powered.

The following steps assume that CCES is installed and running on your PC.

Connecting the USB cable between the PC and the carrier board prior to installing CCES may result in a failure to find the appropriate Windows drivers.

  • Navigate to the CCES environment through the Start menu.
  • Once an application is ready to load to the evaluation board a debug configuration can be created.

Launching the Debug Configuration

Use the Debug Configurations wizard to connect to the board. If a debug configuration exists already, select the appropriate configuration and click Debug.

Be sure to select your project in the project explorer so that important details are filled in for you automatically when creating the Debug Configuration.

  • To create a debug configuration, choose Run > Debug Configurations
  • The Debug Configuration dialog box will appear.

Creating a New Debug Configuration

  • Select Application with CrossCore Debugger and click the New button to create a configuration.
  • The Select Processor page of the Session Wizard appears.
  • On the Select Processor page, ensure the correct processor family is selected.
  • In Processor type, select the processor that matches the processor on the evaluation board. Click Next.
  • On the Connection Type page, select EZ-KIT Lite for on-board debug agent use.
  • Choose the on-board debug agent.
  • Click Finish to close the wizard. The new debug configuration is created and added to the Debug Configurations list.

Selecting the Application(s) to Load

  • In the Name edit box, users can select an appropriate name to describe the configuration, otherwise a default name is provided.
  • In the Session section, choose the program(s) to load (if the appropriate program is not already populated) when connecting to the board.
  • If not loading any program upon connection to the target, do not make any changes.
  • Click Debug to connect to the target board.

While connected to the target, there is no way to choose a program to download. To load a program once connected, terminate the session and then load the new program.

  • To disconnect from the target board, choose Run > Terminate.
  • To delete a configuration, go to the Debug Configurations dialog box and select the Delete button and choose Yes when asked if you wish to delete the selected launch configuration. Then Close the dialog box.

CCES Setup - ICE-1000/ICE-2000 Emulator

Follow these instructions to ensure correct operation of the product software and hardware.

Connect the board to a personal computer (PC)

  1. Plug one side of the USB cable into the emulator. Plug the other side into a USB port of the PC running CCES.
  2. Attach power to the evaluation board unless the evaluation board is USB bus powered.

The following steps assume that CCES is installed and running on your PC.

Connecting the USB cable between the PC and the emulator prior to installing CCES may result in a failure to find the appropriate Windows drivers.

  • Navigate to the CCES environment through the Start menu.
  • Once an application is ready to load to the evaluation board a debug configuration can be created.
