MSP432E401Y: XDS110 Error connecting to the target: (Error -615 @ 0x0)

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Hi there.

I'm using a set of old msp-exp432P401R and with I try to download my code to one of the units I get this 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.
(Emulation package 20.0.0.3178)
 
I have checked the document XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf and forums, but found no solution.
 
Is there any way to recover this board?
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Toni.

    Hi,

    Has this board worked in the past?

    What have you tried so far to isolate the source of the behavior?

    Thanks for your answer Matthew.
    Yes, the board was working.
    It is no possible to know the source of the problem. This board and several more are used by students.
    In an random way, when we get a board from the cabinet, it doesn't work. Usually it only need to update the firmware or change from DFU mode.
    But in this case I don't know how to lower the TCLK, and if it is the way to repair it. 
    Best regards,
    Toni.

    Hi,

    What do you mean by a "random way?" Are multiple boards failing? Are the board intermittently failing?

    I usually run into this kind of issue when there is a physical connection issue.

    Dear Matthew.

    Yes, several boards have presented problems. 3/4 out of 35 boards gave error when the students try to debug/download the code. In these cases, we solved the problem following instructions from XDS110 Support Notes document. I guess students cancelled or unplugged the board  while updating firmware and the boards remained in DFU mode. 

    But there is one board that gives this  error (Error -615 @ 0x0) that I don't know how to solve. Also, I don't know exactly when the board stopped working. It is possible that it stopped working past year and somebody store in the cabinet, or the problem appeared past week. 

    I know that it would be very convenient to have information on how and when the problem happened, but we don't have this information.

    I agree with your sentence "I usually run into this kind of issue when there is a physical connection issue." But I have no idea where start to look for a broke soldering or pin.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi Toni,

    You could try using one of the good boards to program the target on the bad board --> This would tell you if the XDS is malfunctioning. 

    This is done by wiring the XDS jumpers from the good board to the bad board.
