Hi,
Since there is no FAQ on the SEED homepage, I want to open a posting collecting experiences about the SEED XDS560PLUS emulator together with CCS V5. I dont know how many people do the same experiments to make jtags run, I think if 2 do it is a waste of time. I spent a lot of time searching for why it is not working by just blindly installing this and that in different combinations. Since I work with TI, Jtags are always a problem and its always fun to make them run again on a different PC.
*) install directory has to be CCSdirectory\ccsv5\ccs_base
If using CCS V5, the 'CCS V4 and above' driver http://www.xds560.com/drivers.php has to be used. it is essential to manually select in the CCS V5 install directory ccsv5\ccs_base.
*) use in CCS V3 before CCS V5
In my case I have to use the XDS560 Jtag in CCS V3.3 once before it will work in CCS V5. I dont know where this comes from, but I dont get a connection in CCS V5 to the emulator (without any errormessage) unless I connect once in CCS V3
*) conflict with other XDS560 jtag
if CCS V5 is installed, use 'custom' and deselect TI XDS560 driver. If this is installed, the SEED Jtag will simply not work. You will get 'unable to connect Jtag' without any other help. In my case the SEED XDS560 has to be the only XDS560 Jtag emulator in the windows device manager section "Texas Instruments Emulators"
*) anyone has a list what the error message numbers mean?
sometimes I get error -2083:
bye,
Thomas
