3.1.3 Software Bring-up Tips

The following are software tips:

  1. Before developing the software, ensure the hardware is working correctly: consequent CCCC's should print on the screen when the SD card is not inserted.
  2. Code Composer Studio is a tool used for tracking the instructions executed during bringing up the software. The terminal of P2 on the bottom of the board is a JTAG header to connect the emulator. The System.map file is a symbol table, which is a look-up between symbol names and their addresses in memory. Combining the symbol table and memory data lets the user track the process of how the software is running.
