Dear all,
I recently purchased the TMS320C6748 DSP Development Kit (LCDK). This is my first DSP kit.
I'm using Windows XP.
As a first check, I tried to run the demonstration in the following manner, while following the instructions of the quick start guide:
1. I installed USB-UART drivers from fdtichip.com and also installed TeraTerm.
2. I set the DIP switch with the configuration as given in the guide: 1,5,6,7 and 8 OFF and the rest ON.
3. I connected the provided USB cable to J3 (UART-USB) on the board and the other end on my host machine.
4. I opened TeraTerm and used the following configuration:
5. I connect the power supply. I did not connect any external hardware since I do not have a camera.
6. At this stage, nothing shows up on the terminal screen.
Could someone tell me why this is happening? Do I absolutely need to connect a camera to be able to verify whether all is OK?
Also, initially, I had made a mistake by connecting the USB cable to J2 instead of J3. Could that have something to do with this?
