CCS/CCSTUDIO-C2000: CCSv6 + XDS100vx - driver install questions

Part Number: CCSTUDIO-C2000

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Team,

Different PCs enumerate the XDS100 FTDI device differently?  Is there something wrong? 

When i plug in my F28335 DPS EVM, my laptop correctly enumerates and populates device manager 

  • Ports (COM & LPT) ==> (USB Serial Port (COM9);  FTDI Driver v2.8.14.0 - 3/18/2011
  • Texas Instruments Debug Probes ==> (XDS100 Class Aux Port ) and (XDS100 Class Debug Port);  TI Driver v2.12.24.0 - 1/6/2017

But on another machine with same Hardware it enumerates into different ports?

  • same results for Ports (COM & LPT);  same FTDI Driver v2.18.14.0 - 3/18/2011
  • Texas Instruments Debug Probes - DOES NOT SHOW UP
  • It gets 'XDS100 Channel A' and 'XDS100 Channel B' under the 'USB Serial Bus Controllers', not 'Texas Instruments Debug Probes' section.
  • DOES NOT GET updated driver version of v2.12.24.0 - 1/6/2017.  It has the older v2.18.14.0 - 3/18/2011

    That is the giveaway: the Windows drivers were either not updated on the second PC or are simply not being used.

    - Right-click on node XDS100 Channel A
    - Select Update Driver SoftwareBrowse my computer for driver software
    - Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computerIf the drivers were already installed, you should see XDS100 Class Debug Port. Select this one. Otherwise, repeat but skip this step. 
    - Click on Browse and select the directory C:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds100_drivers
    - Repeat for XDS100 Channel B

    That should get you the same driver as installed by CCS.

    If Windows refuses to update the driver, then you will have to remove them. 

    - Right-click on node XDS100 Channel A
    - Select Uninstall...
    - Check the box Delete the driver software for this device and click OK
    - Repeat for XDS100 Channel B
    - Do the procedure above to reinstall the drivers

    Hope this helps,
