after excluding the C6748.cmd file the MCSDK McASP example loaded.
Now to work out how to upload it to the LCDK board and run it from CSS?
[ EDIT ]
ok so I am following this guide, 
I am now trying to add the XDS200 option and select the LCDK OMAPL138 device to mcsdk.ccxml file but its NOT in the list of devices.
the dialog box hints that I can download extra devices ? but how ? download what exactly ??
I don't get a connection with the XD200 jtag , only this error;

Execute the command:
%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity

Screen grab of no LCDK-L138 in list.
sorry for all these questions. It seams the non MCSDK startware boots from flash without an OS but I am not clear how the MCSDK is working.
thanks,
