CCS/TMS320F28377S: Cannot find XDS100v2 driver package. CCS cannot open default blink program

Part Number: TMS320F28377S
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, C2000WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi guys,

I'm very new to TI controller and the software. recently, I bought the C2000 microcontroller. my computer is on win8.1 64 bits

I also tried to find XDS 100 vs driver package, but the ti.com/xds100drivers doesn't seem to work anymore. Where can I download that package now? 

I installed the CCS v9.10. unlike what I saw online, I cannot find the example in CCS resource explorer. I'm wondering should I install previous version of CCS or I can still work with the current one. 

Also, when I open CCS I cannot find the control suite GUI. 

one more thing is when I open the device manager, I cannot find the COM number even I make sure the loadVCP is checked. 

Hope these problems can be solved.

Best regards.

    The XDS100 Debug Probe drivers are installed with CCS, and the Control Panel indicates the correct entries for it - this tells me the instantiation seems to have gone without issues. One detail, however: can you right click on the entry Ports (COM & LPT) →; XDS100 Class USB Serial Port → tab Port Settings and see what is the COM port it is associated with it? 

    If that is still not working correctly, you can try to reinstall the Windows drivers - check sectin 2.6 of the XDS100 page at:

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../XDS100

    Since you are talking about controlSUITE, its package cannot be found by Resource Explorer in CCSv9.1.0 - only C2000Ware packages are available there. 

    In this case, you have a few alternatives:

    - Either start development using C2000Ware (details on the package installation are shown at 2:50 of the Getting Started video)
    - Import a Project using the standard menu Project → Import CCS Projects and point to the controlSUITE install directory to scan for projects. 
    - Download and install CCSv8.3.1 and use the Resource Explorer Classic to browse controlSUITE projects and the controlSUITE GUI. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Hi, 

    I have just checked the COM port it says the default is COM 8.

    however, i followed the steps from this youtube video to test COM 8 doesn't seem to work.

    Hi,

    Thanks for sending the video you are following. The first part of the video that uses the COM port requires that the Launchpad board still contains the original  code pre-loaded to the board.

    If you have flashed another example project to the board, you will have missed it and the COM port may seem non-functional but it is instead simply not sending any information to the host. 

    If that is your case, the last comment on the video has the location of the demo project for this launchpad - it is only present on the controlSUITE package, not on the C2000Ware.

    As I mentioned in my previous reply, you can download controlSUITE separately and import the project in any version of CCS by using the menu Project → Import CCS Projects and point to the directory indicated in the video comment. 

    Blinky should work independently of the Serial COM port - it does not configure it nor sends data through it. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
