Sending data from DSP56F807 to PC

[spearce]

First off, I am using a DSP56F807 with code warrior 7.0

I am writing a program which does not need to communicate with the PC after the program is loaded onto the DSP board.  However, for testing/debugging purposes I would like to view the data in an array on my PC.  I don't need real time and it is ok if I have to reset the board each time(which ever is easiest).  Can someone please tell me which bean/commands to do this with?  I have read over all the bean descriptions and none of them seem to match what I am looking for.  Thanks for any help.

Hi,

You're using CodeWarrior for DSP 7.x.

This is an old version.

The DSC 8.0 and the patch DSC 8.1 is now available.

You can download the DSC 8.0 on our web site via the link:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01272694011187

The Special edition license is installed by default.
If you need another version of the license please contact your local distributor.
You can have several versions installed on the same PC.
There is only one restriction: install them on separate folder.

You can download the patch DSC8.1 on our web site via the link:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01272600617882140B

your problem:
I can see several solutions to do that.
 - use the load/save memory option in the Debug | DSP56800 menu,
  Only available if a debug session is launced.
 - use the console to print the value,
 - use the fprintf function to save it in a file.

Now if you want that the values were capture when the application was running you can use the SCI board port to connect to PC serial host port. You can open a hyperterminal and send info to the PC.
To do that you need:
 - a SCI connection,
 - a hyperterminal,
 - the application must config the SCI (this can be done by bean),
 - the application must send the appropriate info.
