TMDSEMU110-U: Unable to upgrade XDS110 DEBUG PROBE

Tool/software:

Hi there

CCS forces me to upgrade the firmware of my xds110 debug probe. However, straight forward approach didn't work, leading me to the folder

... ti\ccs1280\ccs\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds110

where I should read the instructions.

There it says:
2. Run the following two commands from directory with xdsdfu:
xdsdfu -m
xdsdfu -f firmware.bin -r

Done that and failed:

xdsdfu -e: showed the device connected

xdsdfu -m: led stopped shining

xdsdfu -f firmware.bin -r: requiested device not found... ??!

Unplug and replug it brought it back again with previous firmware.

What's the issue?

Cheers Nik

Here the entire trace of my attempt:

    Hello,

    Can you run "-e" option after "-m" option before flashing the firmware just to be sure the device switched to DFU mode? The xdsdfu tool will warn if the device is not in DFU mode and flash load is attempted, but please check anyway.

    Hi Gus
    Thx for your reply. Actually, I now have tried from a different PC and it worked. There I have used the software that came with the uniflash installation
    ...ti/uniflash_8.8.0/deskdb/content/TICloudAgent/win/ccs_base/common/unicif/sdx110,
    while before I used that one that came with the ccs installation
    ...ti/ccs1280/ccs/ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110

    In the first case, when entering the firmware update mode, the device is not recogized anymore and has to be unplugged and reconnected. This wasn't the case on the other computer... well, one may speculate on the cause.

    And no, using "-e" after "-m" didn't help, though.

    However, issue is solved for me at least.
