I have followed all of the hw installation procedures to a T.
However, when i connect the XDS200 to my laptop via USB cable, the "left" LED turns on and stays on. I then supply power to the target board. Using a variety of tools, I can see there is a voltage drop across the board, but no power consumption or current flow (i.e., an open). consequently, I am unable to flash f/w to the target device since it is not powered. (let's call this State A).
After some t/s, I've realized that if I disconnect the debugger when in State A, then current flows and the target board consumes power. Therefore, I know the debug pod is precluding the target device from realizing the voltage drop across it.
After some more troubleshooting, and returning to State A I've found that if I attempt to flash f/w to the device (due to no power), it will fail and both LEDs on the XDS200 turn off. BUT at this point, the target board now starts consuming power again and if I try a subsequent f/w flash (immediately following the first), it works like a charm.
What could be the issue where the XDS200 is preventing the target device from realizing its power supply and how do I make it so that I don't have "fail-to-flash" first, just to get it in a state where I can successfully flash f/w?
