First steps with SC589 MINI Evaluation: communication fails

Question

Dear community, 
 I am currently checking out the SHARC SC589 (Mini evaluation board) with SigmaStudio (+). Unfortunately, I'm unable to download any program to the board (Starting with the Example Script). Sigma Studio always returns: 'Target verification could not be verified' after hitting the 'Link Compile Download' button. When turning Target verificiation off, it doesn't change anything. The board seems to be completely unaffected as it doesn't change it's output / doesn't output anything. Therefore must be something wrong with the communication, I guess. 
 I am using the same USBi interface as I have used several times with other ADAU-boards successfully. The jumper (JP1) is set to SPI-Boot. 
 
 Do you have any guide or idea what the problem could be? Should I use different software, are there any prerequisites that need to be done before using SigmaStudio with SC589 and furthermore, is there any specific guide/documentation for this board in combination with SigmaStudio? 
 
 I do appreciate any help or hint! 
 Best regards 
 Sebastian

Hi, May I know which version of ADSP-SC589 Mini eval board you are using? The steps are very simple to run the example on evaluation boards, 
 1. Make hardware setup as mentioned for ADSP-SC589 Mini - ADSP-SC589 MINI BOARD [Analog Devices Wiki] 2. Open corresponding target demo example in CCES for your case "SigmaStudioPlus-Rel2.2.0\Target\Examples\Demo\ADSP-SC58x\ADSP-SC589-SAM" 3. Build or use prebuild executable to run the debug session on CCES. 4. Once debug session running, open the example schematic what I have shared. 8875.Volume Control Example for ADSP-SC589Mini.ssprj 5. Select the DXE for each SHARC core in example schematic what you are running in CCES debug session and do link compile download. 6. once successful download you should be able to listen audio when connection input and speaker at I/O ports. Please check whether any mute set or volume control in in low level. Note: Every time before downloading SigmaStudio schematic you need to rerun the CCES debug session, since redownload not supported by the framework and we are trying to address in future release.

The LED status is correct. could you please confirm read MIPS is getting non zero value? If non zero value application is running fine.

Based on internal discussion we found that there is a change needed for clocking which may cause this issue compared to old ADSP-SC589 Mini 1.5 version. Could you please try and let us know the status? we will update this settings with some macro for ADSP-SC589 Mini 2.1 baord. Flie:adi_ss_fw_audioIO.c Path: SigmaStudioPlus-Rel2.2.0\Target\Examples\Framework\Source Modify "ADI_SS_FW_PCG_EXT_CLKIN_FREQ_12288000HZ" macro as "ADI_SS_FW_PCG_EXT_CLKIN_FREQ_24576000HZ" at Line No: 1224 This update needed for ADSP-SC589 Mini only.
