TMDSEMU110-U: Recently adquired probe unable to run on external mode via Simulink

Hi Alejandro,

For debugging with Simulink, it is better to work with MathWorks team. We do not have resource to support Simulink debug issue.

However, let's make sure your new XDS110 emulator works properly without Simulink. 

Are you using TI EVM or you have custom board? Can you run any C2000Ware example and check if you are able to connect?

Regards, Santosh

Hello.

Thank you for your support. 

Im not used to the TI products, do you have any guide that you can provide to try with an example from C2000Ware?

And is not a TI EVM, it is a custom board with the uC F280048

Hi Alejandro,

In CCS menu, View -> Target Configuration

In the target configuration view, create a new target configuration.

Select the debugger as XDS110, and your device, then press 'Save' button to save the target configuration.

Now click 'Target Configuration', and then press 'Test Connection'.

Can you send the message from Console window?

Regards, Santosh

Hello. 

I did the test as you suggested. This is the result that gave me

But I don't see any console where I can send messages.

Hi,

Looks like the emulator is fine. The test is running successfully.

One more test we should try. Launch the target configuration. In the Target Configuration, select the one you created, right-click, and press 'Launch the  Selected Configuration"

Once it is launched, select C28x in debug window, and then right-click, and select "Connect"

Let me know if you are able to connect.

Regards, Santosh

Hello.

I think that that the expected result from you test.

Right?

Hi,

Yes, That is correct. Your board is fine and XDS110 emulator is fine.  For debugging Simulink, you will need to post to MathWorks forum. 

Please take a look at MathWorks FAQ at this link below:

• https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/484814/faq-sticky-mathworks-solutions-for-c2000-mcu-s
• https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/944441/faq-faq-support-for-using-mathworks-solutions-with-c2000-mcu-s

If you have further questions, the best way to get support on MathWorks products is to contact MathWorks live tech support.

You can also search for answers or post a question on MATLAB Answers C2000 forum. Additionally, there is info on MathWorks support C2000 in Documentation and Examples.

I will close the thread from here as the software is supported by MathWorks team on their forum.

But my concerns with this test, is that were made with jtag, right?

But thats not the issue, because with Simulink Im still able to download the program to the microcontroller and see the changes via osciloscope connected to a EPWM output.

The problem start the Im trying to use UART interface to control it.

It is set correctly since one of he debugger works fine with the same setting 

Actually, we are not familiar with Simulink software. MathWorks team can support better, so I recommend you to post the question there. Your emulator is working fine. There is no issue in XDS110 emulator.

You want to try SCI example from C2000Ware SDK, please try this this example:
