Spectrum Digital, Inc
Code Composer communicates with the EVM PLUS through an embedded JTAG
emulator with a USB host interface. The EVM PLUS can also be used with an external
emulator through the external JTAG connector.

1.3 Basic Operation

The EVM PLUS is designed to work with TI's Code Composer Studio (CCS)
development environment. Code Composer communicates with the board through the
on-board JTAG emulator, or an external emulator. To start, follow the instructions in the
Quick Start Guide to install Code Composer. This process will install all of the
necessary development tools, documentation and drivers.
After the install is complete, follow these steps to run Code Composer. The EVM PLUS
must be fully connected to launch Code Composer Studio.
1) Connect the included power supply to the EVM PLUS.
2) Connect the EVM PLUS to your PC with a mini USB cable (also included).
3) Set up Code Composer Studio
4) Launch Code Composer from its icon on your desktop.
Detailed information about the CCS including a tutorial, examples and reference
material is available in the EVM PLUS's help file. You can access the help file through
Code Composer's help menu.
