Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

Since Uniflash version 5.3.0 we have been experiencing intermittent errors when loading our program onto our board. We are using DSLite to flash the board.

Our board is a TMS570LC43X CORTEX-R5 Microcontroller
XDS110 Emulator v9.1.0.00001
Uniflash 5.3.1.2265

The error is shown below:

Reloading the program to the board generates this error:

Sometimes, multiple board power cycles are needed to bypass this error.

Is this a known issue with the Uniflash software?

Hello David,

There is no knew issue with uniflash. When running the uniflash, did the power supply (3.3V, 1.2V) get stabled?

Hi QJ,

Thanks for your response!

Just so I understand, are you asking if the power supply has a stabilizer? I will verify this with my colleague to make sure and reply back shortly.

Regards,

David

Hi David,

Have you solved the JTAG connection issue?

Hi QJ,

Apologies for this huge delay.

My colleague informed me that it may be due to the clock frequency not being set correctly. We have tried to adjust the clock frequency and have done a bit of testing from which we have not seen the issue come up. We would like to perform more robust testing to confirm that this resolves the problem.

Thanks,

David

Hi QJ,

I was finally able to test our hypothesis with the lowered clock frequency. By default the JTAG TCLK Frequency is set to 5.5 MHz however we tried lowering the frequency to 1MHz. We kept on getting the error below:

fatal: IcePick: Error connecting to the target: (Error -267 @ 0x0) The controller could not detect valid target supply. Check target JTAG connection and/or connection setting specifying voltage level. (Emulation package 8.4.0.00006)

We will try to use the board power supply and see if this resolves the issue. Do you have any other suggestions as to how to approach this issue?

Thank you,

David

Hi David,
