Blackhawk USB100V2 CCS 6.0.1: Error Connecting Target



I am trying to flash through a Blackhawk USB100v2 to TMS570LS20216. It shows an error connecting to the target.

What should be the Emulator configuration??

In the emulator configuration in CCS 6.0.1 the Blackhawk USB100v2 is not shown, Should change the version of CCS ?? Kindly Suggest me.

Best Regards,

Aniketh Chepuri.

    The "Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe" is the correct connection to be used for a Blackhawk XDS100v2. This is because all  XDS100 emulators use the same XDS100 driver, regardless of the vendor (as noted on https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/347712)

  •  Hello,

    I had made new target configuration settings and tested to communicate with the Emulator still I could not find the Error.

    So I here paste the Status file that has been generated during the test. Could any one kindle suggest me. Thank you.

    This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
    This utility will load the adapter 'jioserdesusb.dll'.
    The library build date was 'May 21 2014'.

    The library package version is '5.1.507.0'.
    The library component version is '35.34.40.0'.
    The controller does not use a programmable FPGA.

    An error occurred while hard opening the controller.

    -----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

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

    The value is '-183' (0xffffff49).
    The title is 'SC_ERR_CTL_CBL_BREAK_FAR'.

    The explanation is:
    The controller has detected a cable break far-from itself.
    The user must connect the cable/pod to the target.

    That is probably a hardware problem with the connections between the Hercules device and the XDS100v2 emulator. Try and following the fault finding in Debugging JTAG Connectivity Problems

  • Chester's correct - but also check that nPORRST on the Hercules device has been released in addition to the other hardware checks.

    nPORRST=Low will hold the TAP in reset and effectively break the chain.
