[FAQ] CCS/LAUNCHXL-F280049C: ADVISEMENT: EMUPack 8.0.903.4 incompatible with LAUNCHXL-F280049C

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280049C

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The latest CCS EMU pack, V8.0.903.4 contains an update for the XDS110 emulator(upgrading it to FW version 2.3.0.16) that is not compatible with the LAUNCHXL-F280049C. 

  • If you have not installed this update, no action is required on your part.

    If you have installed this update then the workaround is as follows:

    1)Download the previous EMU pack from here(V8.0.803.0)

    2)Install the EMU pack, making sure the path matches the CCSv# directory.  For example, the default install path for CCS v8 is c:\ti\ccsv8.  Note that the EMU pack installer will default to C:\ti.  Make sure and modify it to include the \ccsv# sub-directory.

    3)After installing the EMU pack from the executable you will need to manually update the XDS110 FW contained in the old EMU pack

    4)Using a command prompt go to the emulation directory in your CCS install path ex: C:\ti\ccsv8\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds110\

    5)Execute the following lines of code in the command prompt

    xdsdfu -m (return)
    
    xdsdfu -f firmware.bin -r (return)

    6)Power cycle the device

    7)Verify that the FW on the LaunchPad is 2.3.0.15, do this by executing the following from the command prompt

    xdsdfu -e (return)

    The XDS110 on the LAUNCHXL-F280049C should now be able to pass the scan test and connect to CCS.

    TI is actively working to get a fixed version of this FW into either the next release of the EMU pack or a patch if necessary.  That update will be posted to this thread.

    Best regards,

  • All,

    As of March 21,2019 the 1Q19 EMU pack with the fix for this issue has been posted to both TI tool site here as well as incorporated into the CCS update.

    If you do not have automatic updates turned on you can initiate by going to the "Help" menu and selecting "Check for Updates"

    The XDS110 on the LAUNCHXL-F280049M will update automatically inside CCS when the LP is connected to the host PC and the associated CCXML is launched.

    You can verify that the XDS110 driver is the latest/correct version by executing the below line of code from the command prompt at the following path(using default install options):

    C:\ti\ccsv8\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds110\

    xdsdfu -e (return)

    FW Version should be 2.3.0.18 if the update has been programmed.

    Best regards,

    Matthew
