Thank You John. I just gave an order for JTAG and header pins. This makes quite a few things clear.
1. But when it comes to GEL files, do i need to do it for BBB in CCS v6? Because when I saw in target configuration that beaglebone black is already there and also there is AM335x separately. 2. And do I need to install anything on a micro SD card and then boot the BBB before i connect and start programming using CCS?
