12 Developer’s Kit for Texas Instruments™ DSP 1.1 Release Notes
12-10
Known Software and Documentation Problems
This section updates the Developer’s Kit for Texas Instruments DSP 1.1
documentation, presenting the known problems with the software and
documentation. Each entry in the following sections describes a situation you
may encounter when you use the Developer’s Kit.
Operating Systems
Windows 98
When you create a link to Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio (CCS)
immediately after you reboot your Microsoft Windows 98 machine, it may take
a very long time to create the link. To avoid the wait, launch CCS from your
desktop before you create the link.
Unsupported Platforms
The Developer’s Kit, Version 1.1, is not supported on Microsoft Windows 2000
or Code Composer Studio 2.0.
Linking
•Having CCS visible on your desktop during CCS read or write operations
slows down the data transfer process. Generally, transfer rates fall by a
factor of four when CCS IDE is visible. When you do not need to interact with
CCS IDE, use visible to force CCS to the background to avoid the slowdown.
cc = ccsdsp;
cc.visible(0); % Pushes CCS IDE to the background.
If your work requires that you interact with CCS IDE during linking
operations, place CCS IDE in the background temporarily when your
program transfers large amounts of data either direction. For example, the
following code demonstrates changing the CCS IDE visibility state before
and after large read and write operations.
