OK. That is good to know. I wasn't able to find a list of what should be used for the -mv option, so I thought that could be something.
On the .gel front, we do not explicitly load one prior to loading our .out file into the debugger. However, when I went to the lab and started up the CCSv3.1 debugger, there is a default one "dsp621x_671x.gel" that is included. I have not tried the CCSv5.x debugger yet, so I will keep you posted.
