• Install CSL/BSL

Part 1: Check if the required libraries are already present

• From the Windows file explorer, search the C: drive for "csl6713.lib" and "dsk6713bsl.lib". The first file is the chip support library for the TMS320C6713. The second file is the board support library for the C6713 DSK. If either of these files is not found, then you will need to install the necessary files yourself. If both files are found on the C: drive, then you can skip the rest of these instructions.

Part 2: Download the required libraries

• Board support libraries can be downloaded directly from Spectrum Digital. Alternatively, you can download the board support libraries here.
• The chip support library installer can be downloaded directly from Texas Instruments. Alternatively, you can download the chip support library installer here. You will need administrator privileges on your computer to install the chip support libraries. If you don't have administrator privileges, you can download a zip file with the necessary chip support libraries.

Part 3: Install the required libraries

Unzip the DSK6713.zip board support libraries somewhere convenient. A suggested location for ECE4703 students is R:\ece4703.

If you have administrator privileges on your computer, you can run the chip support library installer. The installer will ask you where you would like to install the chip support libraries. A suggested location for ECE4703 students is R:\ece4703.

If you don't have administrator privileges on your computer, then just unzip the C6xCSL.zip chip support libraries somewhere convenient. A suggested location for ECE4703 students is R:\ece4703.

Part 4: Confirm the libraries are correctly installed

Assuming you installed the libraries in R:\ece4703, search the R: drive for "csl6713.lib" and "dsk6713bsl.lib". You should find the CSL at R:\ece4703\C6xCSL\lib_3x\csl6713.lib. You should also find the BSL at R:\ece4703\DSK6713\c6000\dsk6713\lib\dsk6713bsl.lib. Remember these locations (or the locations where you installed these files), since we will need to tell the compiler where to find these files when we create a simple stereo loop project on the C6713 DSK in Code Composer Studio v5.
