AM2634 Control Card - unable to connect to XDS110 DAP in CCS11

Error output from "Test Connection" button in CCS11

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0] Execute the command: %ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity [Result] -----[Print the board config pathname(s)]------------------------------------ C:\Users\JOWING~1\AppData\Local\TEXASI~1\ CCS\ccs1110\0\0\BrdDat\testBoard.dat -----[Print the reset-command software log-file]----------------------------- This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.

  • Hello Jon,

    [An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]-------------------- This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities. The value is '-230' (0xffffff1a). The title is 'SC_ERR_PATH_MEASURE'. The explanation is: The measured lengths of the JTAG IR and DR scan-paths are invalid. This indicates that an error exists in the link-delay or scan-path.

    There are several potential causes for this type of error. Many of them are documented in the below link:

    I would check that your target configuration file is configured correctly and the device is properly powered and in a good state. If that has already been confirmed valid, try lowered the TCLK speed as mentioned in the below article.

    If you are still having issues, please attach the ccxml file that you are using and also provide which host OS is being used. I assume some version of Windows based on one of the paths in the message you posted above (which version of Windows?). I also assume you are using CCS 11.1 based on the installation directory.

    Thanks

  • Hi Jon,

    Based on our experience with the controlcard, it looks like you will need to lower TCLK to 1MHz (or less) for best stability. Please give that a try.

    Thanks

  • Hi ki,

    That guidance is correct. This is a limitation due to the the isolators used. The later batch of boards have an alternative isolator part installed that enables a much higher data rate.
