Hi,
We have a “TMS570LS3137” Texas Hercules Safety-Microcontroller-based board.
- This board was working fine.
- A few days ago we tried to load a program using the bootloader option to this board. We were successful in doing so. But after a couple of flashing through the bootloader, one time it so happened that the bootloader process was aborted abruptly. Then we were not able to load the program again through the bootloader.
- Then we tried to load the program through your “BH-USB-100v2-ARM” emulator. But it showed some errors.
- We then tested the connections using the “Test Connection” feature in the Code Composer Studio. The test passed successfully, which means that the connections are alright.
- We then tried to program other working boards with the same emulator setup and we were successful in doing so, implying that the emulator and the drivers are all fine.
- But we are not able to program this one particular board. Could you please help us in this regard? It seems like the microcontroller has locked itself from further updates to the flash or the controller is “held in Reset” for some reason.
- This is an old board and we are not sure about the emulator that was used to flash this board initially. Is it possible that the emulator locked the flash after the initial program load?
- Also, I monitored the nRST pin of the Microcontroller. This pin is supposed to be always high. But this pin is momentarily going low for every 3 to 4 sec. This means that the controller is resetting itself continuously.
Please help us in resolving this issue.
And we see that Texas has stopped support for XDS100v2. Does the newer XDS110 have more features that can help us in resolving this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Krishnananda
