Session ID: 1434748037293_00000264

Ran into the following error from CCS cloud. Any idea as to what may be going on?

Flashing file powerlab_1.out. ..............................Initializing debug probe... Configuring Debugger (may take a few minutes on first launch)...: Initializing Register Database... Initializing: CS_DAP_0 Executing Startup Scripts: CS_DAP_0 Initializing: CORTEX_M4_0 Executing Startup Scripts: CORTEX_M4_0 Connecting... . Fatal: CS_DAP_0: Error connecting to the target: (Error -260 @ 0x0) An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed. The cause may be one or more of: invalid firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB connection. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of your installation. View the ReadMe.txt file there for instructions.

    Ajay,

    Could you check the version of the firmware on the XDS110 in device manager?  

    Thanks,

    John

    John,


    This was during a training session and I no longer have access to the EVM. When hooked up to a different laptop, the EVM worked just fine. Another data point - on my laptop, when I used the xdsdfu utility with the '-e' option, it could not detect the emulator. Some issue with USB on my laptop?

    Ajay,

    Is the usb port on the laptop a 3.0 port? We have had a few reports of issues with USB 3 ports but no luck reproducing.

    Yes. When I used a USB 2.0 port on the docking station, I was able to connect and run the program.

    Also, here is the output of xdsdfu -e with a USB 2.0 port:

    $ ./xdsdfu.exe -e

    Ajay,

    If your USB3.0 controller is from Renesas, there is a known issue with older device drivers that prevent XDS110 debuggers (and XDS200 sometimes) to properly work.

    I have the same controller on my Dell laptop and was unable to recognize it until I updated the device drivers using this link.

    Once updated, you should have version 2.1.28.0:

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Thanks! Updating the driver did the trick.
