MSP432E401Y: Flashing TM4C as XDS110 with ICDI/USB

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Tool/software:

Hello Team,

We have made a custom board with MSP432E401Y as main MCU and TM4C as debugger MCU.

To initially flash the XDS110 bootloader and firmware to the TM4C MCU, is it possible with the method mentioned in below link with USB and command prompt?

software-dl.ti.com/.../emu_xds110.html

Or do we need JTAG interface, if then what is the software and hardware connections required?

In launchpad, there is a ICDI connector

If this connector is for XDS110 flashing, what is the mating connector for this? and with which software this is operated, is it CCS?

  • If you don't have the necessary hardware interface (such as a JTAG interface) on your custom board, you won't be able to directly connect and program the TM4C MCU. In that case, you would need to use an external JTAG debugger to flash the bootloader and firmware onto the TM4C MCU.

  • To initially flash the XDS110 bootloader and firmware to the TM4C MCU, is it possible with the method mentioned in below link with USB and command prompt?

    I believe that as long as the XDS110 hardware is properly connected and configured on the custom board, then you should just be able to connect the USB cable to the USB port for the XDS110 hardware and it should be detected by the system. Then you can use the xdsdfu utilities to flash the bootloader and then the firmware.

    Thanks
