Forum Post: RE: RTA not working with DSP/BIOS 5.42 and eZdsp C5505 USB Stick

Chris,

I am unable to reproduce your problem with my setup. 

Along with the *.tcf config you shared:

utils.loadPlatform("ti.platforms.ezdsp5505");  /* The following DSP/BIOS Features are enabled. */  bios.enableRealTimeAnalysis(prog);  bios.enableRtdx(prog);  bios.enableTskManager(prog);

I see that Enable Real Time Anaylsis has to be set to true (please see my previous post on how to set this option). Setting it to true will add the following line to the *.tcf file:

bios.GBL.ENABLEINST = 1;

With these settings, I am able to use the appropriate RTA menu options.

Another option that you could try is to build the stairstep example for the board and check if the RTA is working. RTA is pre-enabled in stairstep example. This example could help in debugging the missing settings in your *.tcf file.
