This document guides you through the following items related to the DCSM Security Tool:

• Importing the example DCSM Security Tool (DCSM) C2000WARE project
• Exploring the DCSM Security Tool configurable options
• DCSM Security Tool generated content
• Adding DCSM Security Tool support to an existing project

For more information on the DCSM module on a specific C2000 device, see the device-specific data sheet and the corresponding Technical Reference Manual (TRM).

This application report was written using the TMS320F2837xD family of devices, but the tool also supports the TMS320F2838x, TMS320F28004x, TMS320F28002x, TMS320F2837xS and the TMS320F07x family of devices as well. The data sheet and TRM used for this application report are listed below and in Section 8.

In order to use the DCSM Security Tool, you must first import the DCSM Security Tool based example projects from the C2000WARE software development kit (SDK). The DCSM Security Tool is available in C2000WARE version 3.01.00.00 and later. For multi-core devices, DCSM Security Tool enabled example projects are available for each core.

Use the following instructions to import the DCSM Security Tool based example project:

1. Launch Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) version 9.2 or later and select a workspace.
   Note: The C2000 DCSM Security Tool is a SysConfig-based tool that requires CCS version 9.2 or higher and will not work with older versions of CCS.
2. With CCS open, click Project → Import CCS Projects....
   Figure 3-1 Import CCS Project
3. In the Import CCS Projects wizard, select Browse... and navigate to the folder:

   For F2837xD devices

   <C2000Ware_Install_Location>\driverlib\f2837xd\examples\cpu1\dcsm.
   Note:

   Dual core example is available at:

   <C2000Ware_Install_Location>\driverlib\f2837xd\examples\dual\dcsm

   For F28004x devices

   <C2000Ware_Install_Location>\driverlib\f28004x\examples\dcsm

   For F28002x devices

   <C2000Ware_Install_Location>\driverlib\f28002x\examples\dcsm

   For F2838x devices

   <C2000Ware_Install_Location>\driverlib\f2838x\examples\c28x\dcsm
4. Select the DCSM Security Tool project and click Finish.

   The project should now be imported into your workspace and look similar to Figure 3-2.

   Figure 3-2 DCSM Security Tool Example Project

   The DCSM Security Tool configuration is stored inside the .syscfg file.

5. Open the dcsm_security_tool.syscfg file.

   The DCSM Security Tool will now open inside CCS and the DCSM Security Tool GUI is available for your to configure the DCSM module. The DCSM Security Tool looks similar to Figure 3-3.

You can now start configuring the DCSM Security Tool. Section 4 describes all the configurable options inside the DCSM Security Tool.
