I have been given a pretty old project that I need to debug for a DSP issue. The original project with the issue was built using SigmaStudios. A project for a custom delay module was built using CrossCore. This was because the default 'delay' module in the DSP uses onboard memory and we needed to use the external memory.
I am currently trying to replicate the original issue and view what the device is doing. However, no one knows how to truly operate either program in order to really help me. We need to test the SigmaStudios project, but we don't know how to do that and if we need CrossCore. I'm not even sure how to make sure the programs are actually able to communicate to the device.
I have never used SigmaStudios or CrossCore before and could really use some help with this. Thank you.

Thank you for responding! Although the guides did help me get a little more familiar with the software I'm using, it has led to more questions than answers. Right now, I'm trying to figure out why my ICE-1000 isn't being picked up by SigmaStudio. It appears on my Device Manager under CrossCore Tools, but when I drag USBi to the configuration area, USB shows up red. I've also been trying to figure out how to use the SigmaStudio for SHARC module. I think it's supposed to be a plugin? But there is no plugin folder for SigmaStudio SHARC and no matter what I do, it doesn't appear. I run Windows 11. I tried running it one Windows 10, but that didn't change anything.

Hi,
Please note that, the ICE-1000 can only be used for flashing and debugging with CCES/VisualDSP++, In order to communicate with SigmaStudio or SigmaStudioPlus, the USBi is mandatory.
The “SigmaStudio for SHARC Plug-In” is included with SigmaStudio for SHARC to support the creation of .dxe and DLM files for SHARC plug-ins. Additionally, It is provided to maintain compatibility with plug-ins developed using version 2.0.0 of SigmaStudio for SHARC.
Please refer the options descried in the section "4.2.1 Using SigmaStudio for SHARC Add-in" from SigmaStudio_for_SHARC_AlgorithmDesigner.pdf document.
Also, there’s an Issue with the “SigmaStudio For SHARC Plug-In For ADSP-214xx” Add-in. It copies an "example.ldf" to “/Debug” which hasn’t been created yet, so we end up with a file called Debug rather than a directory.
In order to work around the problem, you could create a new project using the options outlined in your document, but do not add the “SigmaStudio For SHARC Plug-In For ADSP-214xx” Add-in. After your project is created, you can open the system.svc and add the Add-in. A file called “Debug” is created in your project. Please rename it to example.ldf. You should then be able to build your project.

Hope this helps.
