CCS: when I use XDS200 Debug Probe on CCS 7.2 , CCS7.2 says "firmware update"



Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Error initializing emulator:(Error -1056 @ 0x0)
A firmware update is recommended for the XDS2xx debug probe.
For XDS200 probes, update the firmware using the xds2xx_conf utility found
 in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds2xx directory of the CCS installation.
View the ReadMe.txt file there for instructions.
For other XDS2xx variants, follow the manufacturer's instructions for updating the firmware.
(Emulation package 6.0.83.1)

why update it or not,my board cannot in debug mode.

add what fireware update is about?

Thanks.

  • Qian Ann,

    As mentioned in this post, the firmware update message is a warning (not an error) that informs you of a new firmware available for your XDS200 debug probe and can be ignored. If you are having problems connecting to your board, please check the troubleshooting tips shown at section 6 of the wiki page below.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS200 

    Otherwise, it is safe to ignore the message. 

    Also, depending on your board you may run into issues with the process of updating the firmware. Please refer to the warning shown in section 7 of the wiki page above. It is usually highly recommended to update this using a Windows host.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
