LP-AM263P: LP-AM263P : can not update the XDS probe on it.

Part Number: LP-AM263P

Tool/software:

I am getting the following error on trying to flash the HelloWorld program from CCS.

" DEBUGSSM_0: Error: (Error -591 @ 0x0) The firmware updater encountered an error and could not finish. The updater failed to connect to the XDS110 in programming mode. Unplug and re-plug the XDS110, and try again. If the problem remains, try updating the firmware using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of the installation. View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf file there for instructions. (Emulation package 12.8.0.00189)  "

I try to follow the guide provided on the Ti communication forms to update my firmware in the XDS probe.

But when I short the TDO pin to GND then the command line program completely fails to read the XDS probe.

I can not enter the DFU mode to even update the firmware. Kindly help urgently?

  • however without the shot on the TDO pin the XDS probe boots up fine in the run time mode

    I can not enter the DFU mode even with the soft command 
    "xdsdfu -m "

    the probe completely vanishes away from the COM port enumeration after running this command. 

  • Hi Navneet,

    There is some XDS firmware issue on few LP-AM263P boards. We are in the process of updating the procedure in User manual for recovering these boards, which is as below.

    To enter the DFU mode, please short the pins 64 and 97(as seen in image below) of the TM4C on the back side of LP-AM263P which enables it to enter DFU mode, then please follow the steps in below link to update the XDS firmware corresponding to the CCS version that you are using.

  • Hello Tejas,

    I have been following the guide, 

    I short the pin 64 and 97 -->  plug in the usb micro to the PC --> i 5 seconds remove the short.

    Nothing is coming up on the USB device manager, nothing is getting enumerated on the USB for me to even update the firmware to. 
    I am on windows PC. CCS12.2.0.

  • Hi Navneet,

    Can you please try that agai? While shorting the pins 64 and 97, plug in the Micro USB connector and connect to PC.

    Then run the command xdsdfu -e as per the below link

    https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_xds110.html#manual-update

    It would mostly show something like below. Please further update the firmware with steps as mentioned in above link(or also as shown in below image). It should show up as XDS110 after the firmware update.

    Thanks,
    Tejas Kulakarni

  • Hey Tejas,

    thanks a lot, the procedures did not work for me on a windows machine. 
    I had to use a Linux Ubuntu machine that I use for mmwave solutions was able to update the firmware on the XDS110 (MCU).
    not sure if this was because of some missing libs in a fresh install on windows or something wrong with the XDS update software itself for windows CCS12.2.0.

    thanks a ton !! 

  • Hi Navneet,

    I am glad that you were able to get it working on a Linux machine.

    Next time if you were to face the same issue, may be try using a newer version of CCS(v12.5 or newer), since it worked for me on Windows. I tried on v12.5, v12.7 and v12.8.

    Thanks,
