CCS/TMDSSK3358: debug problem on windows 10

Attila,

Do you have an external XDS560v2 debug probe connected to the board or are you trying to use the debug probe that is built into the board?

If you are trying to use the integrated probe you need to select Texas Instruments XDS100v2 Debug Probe as the connection type as that is what is on the board.

Regards,
John

I have no external debug probe I'd like to use the integrated probe. I have changed the connection type to XDS100v2 as you suggested. I also tried to follow

For GEL output I have selected: AM335x_EVM.gel

The debugger starts with disconnected sessions.

When I click on Cortex-A8 and select Connect Target the debugger starts but on wrong address I think

The program is not loaded. If you launch the debug session from the Target Configurations view then it is just launching the debugger. You then need to manually connect and load the program.

If you setup your debug configuration as part of your project (like in your original screen capture) you can just select the project in Project Explorer and then click the bug button. This will launch the debugger. Connect. Load the program. Run to main().

John

I've got the following messages when I not create the ccxml file (I created a new test project). The messages are the same when I specify the GEL file or not.

Looks like it is having trouble programming the DDR. I am going to loop in someone else who knows this better than me.

Hi,

It seems that you are using CCSv7.x, is that so? If so, instead of specifying the GEL file manually as mentioned in the reference you sent, can you instead use the configuration SK_AM3358? This configuration contains the latest version of the GEL file for this kit.

The reason is that I suspect the DDR is not properly initialized with the GEL file you are using, which causes the code loaded to address 0x80000000 to fail.

Hope this helps,

Rafael
