I'm currently using the XDS100v2 on a USB-EMU docking station to do some development work on a custom board. Everything has been going fine until I've just recently, and inexplicably bricked two of our boards.
It occurred around the time of a failed attempt to run some code from RAM in CCS 5.5. Prior to the event, I'd regularly run code from RAM to debug various things, so it was working fine.
Now, this is the error that CCS gives me when I attempt to start a debug session:
Error connecting to the target:
(Error -1170 @ 0x0)
Unable to access the DAP. Reset the device, and retry the operation. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle the board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK).
(Emulation package 5.1.450.0)
If I attempt to erase the flash of the C28 core in UniFlash, I get something different:
Error connecting to the target:
(Error -1155 @ 0x0)
Device may be operating in low-power mode. Reset the device, and retry the operation. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle the board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK).
(Emulation package 5.1.402.0)
If I pull the nXRS pin low and release it at exactly the right time, I can get the emulator connected to the M3 core. It is suspended @ 0x1001692. I can view some things in a memory browser, but other areas cause the connection to drop.
The JTAG test looks OK:

What is going on? Have I somehow locked the controller?
