uploading firmware to ADS1292R- ECG-FE EVM via CCS6 fails

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TEST2

Hello and thank you for taking the time to try and help.

I'm currently working with TI's EVM ADS1X9X-ECG-FE (http://www.ti.com/tool/ADS1292RECG-FE) with ADS1292R- ECG-FE chip.


My board is a 2011 Rev A board, with a firmware version 1.11 loaded on it. I am interested in loading the latest version of firmware on it, as well as making future changes to the C source code files and debugging my code.

The software is taken from this page:

http://www.ti.com/tool/ads1292recg-fe?keyMatch=ADS1292r%20Demonstration%20Kit&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything

under "free evaluation tool description".

The firmware version provided in the downloaded file, commonly located in:
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ADS1x9xevm\Firmware.

I tried to compile the code in Code Composer Studio 6. After solving a few problems stemming from the version differences (as the firmware was fit for CCS 3, which caused several definition problems) I finally compiled it and wished to upload it to the board via JTAG Debugger.

I tried numerous times, both with the board directly connected solely via micro USB connector and by using an additional MSP EZ430U JTAG probe taken from the EZ430-Cronos development tool connected as such:

Both attempts failed with the following errors:

MSP430: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0x4400 on Page 0 of Length 0x20: Could not erase device memory

MSP430: File Loader: Verification failed: Target failed to write 0x04400

MSP430: GEL: File: D:\workspace_v6_3\test2\Debug\test2.out: Load failed.

(the memory address is not constant and changes from attempt to attempt.)

How can I solve this error?

What is the recommended way to connect a JTAG Debugger to this EVM, am I making a mistake?

Thank you for the support.
