TMDS273EVM: CCS 20.1.1 cannot detect board

Part Number: TMDS273EVM

Tool/software:

Hi,

As the title states the latest Code Composer Studio v20.1.1 says that it cannot detect any compatible board.

More specifically in the Get Started tab that opens up as soon as you start CCS it says: "No compatible board detected - please connect your board".

The board is connected to the PC and powered by the recommended 12V power supply.

In the Device Manager I can see both entries under the Texas Instruments Debug Probes (XDS110 Class Data Port , XDS110 Class Debug Probe) and under the Ports (XDS110 Class Application/User UART , XDS110 Class Auxiliary Data Port).

There are 2 jumpers placed on the SOP0 and SOP1 positions to enter NOBOOT mode.

The JTAG_MUX switch is also set to the XDS position.

The evaluation board is also REV. C if that plays any role.

Is there anything I am missing?

If you need any further information please let me know.

Best regards,

Konstantinos Skyvalakis

  • Hi Konstantinos,

    The recommended CCS version for AM273x MCU+ SDK 09.02.00.52 is 12.7.0, but the CCS 20.1.0 should work too.

    Here is how you import, build and debug an existing CCS project:

    1. File --> Import Projects --> select the CCS project to import (e.g. C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am273x_09_02_00_52\examples\hello_world\am273x-evm\r5fss0-0_nortos)

    2. Build the CCS project

    3. Under targetconfigs --> right click on evmAM273x.ccxml --> select "Debug Project"

    Best regards,

  • Hi Ming,

    My problem is that on CCS 20.1.1 I cannot CREATE a project. I need to be able to create a project, not import one. Is there anyway to fix that?

    On 12.7.0 however that is possible, since I downloaded and tried it.

    Best regards,

    K.

  • Hi Konstantinos,

    Your original question is cannot connect to the AM273x EVM using CCS 20.1.1. If this problem is resolved, please mark it as "Resolved". If you are having a new problem with project creation in CCS 20.1.1, please create another e2e thread, because different person may need to address this issue.

    Best regards,

    Ming
