Hello Kris,

Please, install CCS 8.3 which is the latest.
When installing CCS, you need to select and install a debug probe support valid for your LaunchPad.

How would I go about installing a debug probe support valid for Launchpad, would it be in the app center or the install software tab? Also. do I need to install rtos in the app center as in the user guide, becuase i'm not seeing it pop up in the app center?

In case of CC32xx LPs you need to have support for TI XDS debug probes.

During an installation of CCS8.x you should see screen like below:

Please, ensure that a needed debug probe would be installed.

Products, like TI-RTOS, you can install using View -> Resource Explorer.

In reference to the menu for selecting the Debug Probe, the following menu opens with the following options, does this look correct?

Your menu shows 1.4 GB as install size.
Is it CCS 6.0?

Hi,

I am not sure if you were able to find your way through the CCS setup to your CC3200-LAUNCHXL board. In case negative, you have to use the configuration shown in the reference below to properly setup it in your target configuration file.
software-dl.ti.com/.../appnote-common_target_configurations.html

If you are a bit confused about the overall process of configuring CCS using a target configuration file, please refer to our user's guide at:
software-dl.ti.com/.../ccs_debug-main.html

That should help you overcome the initial connect error, which will allow you to debug your board.

Hope this helps,
Rafael
