This emulator does not work with CCSv5
Here is my setup (not working):
Dell Latitude E6410Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3Code Composer Studio Version 5.1.1.00028Connection: Blackhawk USB510 EmulatorEmulator: USB510 JTAG EMULATOR Part #: BH-USB-510Board: Experimenter's Kit - Piccolo F28035 C:\TI\controlSUITE\development_kits\~ExperimentersKits\ExperimentersKit-HWdevPkg\USBDockingStation_Schematic [R3].pdf Piccolo TMS320F28035 Isolated controlCARD TMDSCNCD28035ISOExample used: C:\TI\controlSUITE\development_kits\TemplateProjects\FlashingLeds-F28035_v1.0
This is the error message reported when I try to debug
I tried a second emulator (USB510 JTAG EMULATOR Part #: BH-USB-510) and had the same result.
When I make the following changes to my setup, I can debug (working setup):
Connection: Blackhawk USB2000 Controller (a XDS510-class product)Emulator: USB2000 CONTROLLER Part #: BH-USB-2000
I tried the debug once, unchanged from the default project. I then tried it again after changing line 233 from FlashingLeds-Main.c
code Default: Gui_LedPrd_ms = 1000;Modified: Gui_LedPrd_ms = 100; //10x the flash rate from default
Default: Gui_LedPrd_ms = 1000;Modified: Gui_LedPrd_ms = 100; //10x the flash rate from default
In both cases it worked, and I observed the difference in LED flash rate.
I can see that the Blackhawk USB510 Emulator USB510 JTAG EMULATOR Part #: BH-USB-510 has been discontinued. Is this related to the fact that it doesn't work with CCSv5? if so, why does the option for this emulator appear in the target configurations general setup? What other emulators in this list may have the same problem? The Blackhawk USB510 Emulator does work with CCSv3.3
I've attached a file containing screenshots of my results, and photos of my setup.

Hello Jason,
The USB510 is still supported by us, including for CCS v5, however it is no longer being manufactured. This is the first issue we are hearing about CCS v5.1.1 and will look into it. We regularly test with the F28035 target.

Here's one further observation.
LD3 will blink (code running) when JTAG connector of Blackhawk USB2000 Controller is plugged inLD3 will not blink (code not running) when JTAG connector of Blackhawk USB510 Emulator is plugged in
Hi, Andrew
I notice a seemingly newer version driver for USB510 on this page: http://www.blackhawk-dsp.com/support/Drivers.aspx . the v4.1.55.0, however, the release date (Aug 2006)seems older than the v3.3. Do you recommand to try out this v4.1.55.0 driver?
thanks,
Clio
Clio,
CCS v4 and later includes all the files and drivers you need as part of the TI distribution. Updates are avilable via the CCS Eclipse Update Manage (within the application).
Our drivers download page is for CCS v3.3. and earlier. Don't confuse the old C2xx/vc3x/c4x Code Composer v4 with the newer Code Composer STUDIO v4.
Jason,
We tracked down what we believe is the issue and are pursuing the fix. In the mean time, if we can find something to use as a workaround, I will post it.
The details....We beleive that USCIF v35.34.39.0 (underlying low-level emulation code if you are not familiar) introduced a change causing a problem with the sequence of establishing a good TCK rate. This issue would affect any CCS version that is updated to USCIF 35.34.39.0 (we found no problem with USCIF v35.34.29.0 and earlier during our testing). CCS updates that include this change must have been posted recently - we tested CCS v5 and v5.1 extensively before their release.

Progress Update: Working with TI, we uncovered the cause in USCIF 35.34.39.0 and have recomended the fix.
Unfortunately, it is beyond our control to workaround these TI binaries. We'll need to wait for TI to issue a CCS update for the emulation package.
Is there any update on this? I am having the same problem.
Hello,
Anyone out there?
Anyone working on this?
It has been quite a while.
I guess I will have to write off Blackhawk on CCS5.

It seems I met the same problem: I try to use “Blackhawk USB510 Emulator” on EVM5515 board under CCSV5. However, I failed on the very first step – “Test Connection” with target board. As a compare, we have no problem to use “Blackhawk USB510 Emulator” in our C5509A based board under CCSV3.
Could any one from Texas Instruments or Blackhawk evaluate this issue and solution?

Hello Jun Cao,
This was fixed (approximately) in April/May 2012, with TI EMUPACK_5.0.693.0. Sorry, This may have been indicated in another post.
As there is no error here I can only ask that you make sure you have updated your CCS v5 installation with a TI EMUPACK of this version or later. You can verify by checking installed software.
If problems persist, please email our support directly with the error message. We can help from there.
Thanks, Andrew
