CCS: XDS110 not working but XDS100v3 works

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi

I have been using the XDS100V3 on the SmartRF06 to debug my CC3200 hardware and it has been working fine.

But when I try to use the XDS110 that I have just purchased it fails with SC_ERR_PATH_BROKEN , I have tried it with all the different JTAG/ SWD /cJTAG modes and droped the TCLK to 100Khz

Any ideas ?

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

The value is '-233' (0xffffff17).

The explanation is:
The JTAG IR and DR scan-paths cannot circulate bits, they may be broken.
An attempt to scan the JTAG scan-path has failed.
The target's JTAG scan-path appears to be broken
with a stuck-at-ones or stuck-at-zero fault.

  • Hi,

    Can you send the XDS100v3 and the XDS110 .ccxml files so I can take a look at them?

  • Hi,

    Thank you for sending the contents of the two files.

    I copied the contents of each to .ccxml files and opened them with CCS - their configuration is identical.

    I then used a different launchpad that has a XDS110 and, by means of a "frankenstein" connection, I was able to connect to my CC3200 Launchpad just fine. 

    In my case I have the SOP jumpers all pulled to set the debug mode to 4WD but nothing else was required. 

    In light of this I suspect that somehow the XDS110 connections to the board are incorrect or too noisy (despite the 100kHz on the TCLK).

    If you have a launchpad, would it be possible to test the XDS110 on this hardware in an attempt to isolate all variables? 

    Regards,

    Rafael

     

  • Hi Rafael,

    We are having a similar issue. Can you please take a look at it?

  • Hello Rafael,

    sorry for reopening the same thread but I am having the exact same issue. I am working with a beaglebone Black and am able to debug using a XDS100v3 but not with an XDS110 (on a MSP432 Launchpad). The output I get is as below. I am connecting the 4 pins from the Launchpad to the JTAG connector of the BBB exactly as you have done it. Additionally I am connecting the GND signal from the XDS header to the JTAG GND pins on the JTAG header.

    [Start: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0]

    Execute the command:

    %ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity

    [Result]

    Are there any other settings on the newer version of the Launchpad that I am overseeing / missing?? DO I need a firmware upgrade? I am ussing CCS 7.3.

    Best regards,

    Shailesh

  • Hi everyone,

    Please apologize for missing this thread.

    Please check the thread below; the user is experiencing a very similar issue and is using a pull down TRST resistor that is too strong. Perhaps you can try to use a different resistor and see if it works well?

    Hope this helps,
