Tool/software:

We are using TMS570LC4357 in our custom Boards, and we are flashing through Uniflash with XDS200 USB debug probe, In some of the instances (boards), we are getting the following error in CCS test connection window

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Debug Probe_0]

Execute the command:

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-233' (0xffffff17).
The title is 'SC_ERR_PATH_BROKEN'.

The explanation is:
The JTAG IR and DR scan-paths cannot circulate bits, they may be broken.
An attempt to scan the JTAG scan-path has failed.
The target's JTAG scan-path appears to be broken
with a stuck-at-ones or stuck-at-zero fault.
