Install eZdsp Content from the CD-ROM
Before you install the eZdsp software, please make sure
you are using Administrator privileges and any virus
checking software is turned off. The eZdsp board should
not be plugged in at this point.
1. Insert the Code Composer Studio installation CD into
the CD-ROM Drive. An install menu (see below)
should appear. If it does not, manually run
Launch.exe from the CD-ROM. Select the Install
Products option from the menu.
2. Install any components you need. To debug with the
eZdsp you must have 1) a copy of Code Composer
Studio, 2) the target content package for your board
and 3) a copy of the FlashBurn plug-in.
Users of the full Code Composer Studio package can
skip the Code Composer installation and simply install
the target content packages.
3. The installation procedure will create icons on your
desktop for F2804x CCStudio and Diagnostics.
Connect the eZdsp to Your PC
1. Connect the supplied USB cable to your PC or laptop.
We recommend that anyone making hardware
modifications connect through a USB hub for safety.
2. Connect the included +5V power adapter brick to your
AC power source using the AC power cord.
3. Apply power to the eZdsp by connecting the power
brick to the +5V input on the eZdsp.
4. Make sure your eZdsp CD-ROM is installed in your
CD-ROM drive. Now connect the eZdsp to your PC
using the included USB. After few seconds Windows
will launch its "Add New Hardware Wizard" and
prompt for the location of the eZdsp drivers.
5. Follow the instructions on the screens and let
Windows find the USB driver files “r28xxez.inf” and
“sdusb2em.sys” on the eZdsp CD-ROM. On XP
systems Windows will find the drivers automatically.
Testing Your Connection
If you want to test your eZdsp and USB connection you
can launch the F2804x eZdsp Diagnostic Utility from the
icon on your desktop.
From the diagnostic utility, press the Run button to run the
diagnostics. The utility will print status messages and
pass/fail messages.
Starting Code Composer
To start Code Composer Studio, double click the F2804x
eZdsp CCStudio icon on your desktop.
Once CCS has started select Debug->Connect from the
menu bar. Target Connect/Disconnect is a new feature
in CCS 3.1.
Note: paid annual software subscription service is not
available for eZdsp products.

Debug Hints and Trouble Shooting
1. If installing on Windows XP and your PC is connected
to the internet through a firewall the USB install may
take up to 15 minutes if you let it complete normally.
The work-around for this issue is to simply disconnect
your network cable during the USB hardware install.
2. Some of the Help Files are links to Adobe Acrobat
PDF files. If you intend to access these files you must
have Adobe Acrobat installed on your system.
3. If you want to verify a successful USB driver install,
open your device manager by right clicking on the My
Computer icon on your desktop and selecting
Properties --> HW --> Device Manager. You should
see a new class “SD USB Based Debug Tools” and
one Spectrum Digital TMS320F28xx eZdsp installed.
4. The DS201 LED comes on when power is applied to
the eZdsp. Do not launch Code Composer until the
LED is off.
