Cannot connect to ARGOBOARD TMX570LS3137 - FTDI driver required?

Joe Baker

I cannot connect to the board. I am using CCS5.5.0.

I have tried reinstalling CCS, but no luck.

The error when i try to connect is:

IcePick: Error connecting to the target: (Error -151 @ 0x0) One of the FTDI driver functions used during the connect returned bad status or an error. The cause may one or more of: invalid emulator serial number, blank emulator EEPROM, missing FTDI drivers, faulty USB cable. Use the xds100serial command-line utility in the 'common/uscif' folder to verify the emulator can be located. (Emulation package 5.1.232.0)

I can only assume i need an FTDI driver for the board? When i plug in the USB, i see two "USB Composite Device" entries in device manager. Windows 7 x64.

Thanks for the link to the other thread.

My device works just fine on another PC. All i need are the USB driver files for the device.

Texas Instruments- Can you please send me the usb drivers so i can start working with this product. I've reinstalled CCS5.5 several times now; that doesn't solve my problem.

In Device manager, i see 2 entries for the board in the "Other devices" section, both have a yellow exclamation mark and both say:

Texas Instruments Inc.XDS100 Ver 2.0

Please link to the device drivers so i can progress with my project. Thank you.

I have found the drivers. For anyone else having this issue, they are installed with CCS5, here:

C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds100_drivers\ftdi\

Thanks for all the help.
