MSP432E401Y: XDS110 Debug probe not working in one project - Error Initializing Emulator

Mp said:

I'm trying to flash the MSP-EXP432E401Y with XDS110 Debug Probe in CCS. I removed the JTAG pins connected in J101 as well.

Let me try to understand this clearly. You are trying to use an external XDS110 debug probe that is connected to J11.  In doing so, you disconnect the JTAG jumpers on J101.  Is that a correct understanding?

Mp said:

I'm able to flash all the projects except only one

Are you saying with the external XDS110 debug probe, you can flash all projects except one project. What is the project that cannot be flashed? How is this project different than other projects?

Mp said:

But then i tried to flash it with the TM4C connected in the launchpad, it was working fine

Are you saying with the on-board XDS110 enumerated by the TM4C which is the default configuration of the LaunchPad, you can flash all projects?

Mp said:

I'm getting the following error

Can you try to reflash the projects that were working before? Please confirm again that you can still flash all projects except one when the external XDS110 debug probe is connected? 

Do you have another debug probe that you can try? Can you repeat the same problem?

Do you have another LaunchPad? Can you repeat the same problem?

But now, the ARM Cortex-M 10-pin (CM10) got broken. In reference to this post I tried to use ARM Cortex-M 20-pin (CM20) in which all the 10 pins are similar as CM10.

But i'm not able to flash the uC and i'm getting the following error

Error connecting to the target: 
    (Error -615 @ 0x0)
    The target failed to see a correctly formatted SWD header.
    The connection to the target may be unreliable.
    Try lowering the  TCLK setting before trying again. 

I have 2 launchpads and i tried the same in both, its not working for any project in both launchpads. I have only one XDS110 Debug probe.

Please help me resolve this issue.

Can you show a picture?

This is the image of the broken 10 pin adapter

Below is the connection of 20pin adapter connection

- On your picture, there is power connected to the USB debug port. Can you supply power to the USB debug port?

- Does the onboard XDS110 still work?

- The 20pin to 10pin adapter is what comes with XDS110 debug probe when you purchased it, right? 

- Do you have another TI boards other than the two LaunchPads that you can try the debug probe on. I want to isolate if the problem is with the board or with the debug probe. 

- Can you do a test connection?

yes

yes. but is there a possibility to purchase 10 pin adapter separately without XDS110 debug probe?

The below report is from test connection which i did with external XDS110 debug probe.

     No i dont have any.

The debug probe was working fine with the 10 pin adapter before. But while connecting 20 pin adapter, its not working.

Does your external XDS110 come with both a main and Aux connections? Which one did you use? Did you try both of them?

Hello Charles

Actually i tried connecting the TI14 adapter with the JTAG pins of MSP in launchpad via jumper to confirm if the debugger is working fine or not. It is working fine

Can you please tell if we can purchase the 10 pin adapter separately?

Thanks

Hi Monica,

  Can you create a new target configuration? When you select the device, choose TM4C1294NCPDT instead of MSP432E. TM4C129 is the same silicon as MSP432E. I wanted to know if you will be able to connect when specifying TM4C1294NCPDT.

Can you salvage the broken adapter?

Charles Tsai said:

will check on this and let you know.

Charles Tsai said:

No, even the traces are out of the adapter PCB as you can see in the above picture, we don't think it is possible to solder it back. Can you please tell if there's any other way?

I have looked up Digikey and other vendors and no one as far as I know only sells a adapter. I might have missed during searching but you can do the same search on your own.
