TMS320F280049C: Flashing control card after debugging on launch pad

Part Number: TMS320F280049C

Hello,

I have recently finished coding and debugging my epwm inverter on the F280049C launch pad, and am trying to transfer the code over to the control card. I believe I need to use the 'Flash' function in CCS to upload the code to the control card, but am getting errors when doing so. On the launchpad, the XDS110 debug probe was used, but would give an error when trying to flash the control card Error initializing emulator:

(Error -260 @ 0x0)
An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed.

In the control card Information Guide, I found it uses the XDS 100v2 debug probe, but would also create an error when attempting to flash:

Error connecting to the target:
(Error -716 @ 0x0)
Required dynamic library jscserdes could not be located.
The library isn't on the search path.

If you could point me to a resource that describes this process, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Matthew

  • Matthew,

    In the target configuration, make sure XDS100v2 is active. As you said, controlCARD has xds100v2, and we need to use that configuration to connect. Looking at the error code, it looks like xds110 is still active configuration. Select the target configuration for xds100v2, right-click, and then select 'Set as Active configuration'

    Thanks & REgards,

  • Hello Santosh,

    Thank you for the quick response. This is my current config file, set to XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe. I have tried the test connection option on the right side of the image but still receive an error:

    [Start: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe_0]

    Execute the command:

    %ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

    [Result]

    This utility has selected a 100/110/510 class product.
    This utility will load the adapter 'jioserdesusb.dll'.

    An error occurred while soft opening the controller.

    This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

    The value is '-716' (0xfffffd34).
    The title is 'SC_ERR_LIB_LOAD_SERDES_DRV'.

    The explanation is:
    Required dynamic library jscserdes could not be located.
    The library isn't on the search path.

  • Matthew,

    Just to make sure, are you connecting two usb cable, one on docking station which provides power to control card and other one on control card which provides xds100v2 connection and also

    Thanks & Regards,
