CCS/RM42L432: How to programme RM42L432 using J-link programer instead of it's on-board programmer/debugger ?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I need to program & debug RM41L232 using J-link programmer.

For that, I am trying to test J-link on RM42L432 launchpad In that I am getting .out file load error.

Please let me know how to do that.

    Hello,

    The external debugger is not required to access the MCU on RM42x launchpad. The RM42x launchpad has a built-in XDS100V2 emulator.

    Hello Wang,

    Yes, I know that we can program using an onboard programmer but on RM42L432 Launchpad 14 pin J-TAG connector is available to program/debug MCU externally.

    For this external programming without using it's on-board XDS100V2 emulator, i am trying to do with J-Link but facing issues like CCS studio hangs some time & load error.

    So How to solve these errors?

    I wonder if you did step one: If this target you using has  TI's 14-pin JTAG, you need to match the standard ARM (Cortex) JTAG pin connector Segger uses.  Like, using Segger's (or similar) adapter.

    Or just jump wires.

    Hello,

    As v01d said, the adapter should be used to map JTAG signals on Segger emulator header to TI's 14-pin JTAG header.

    Hello,

    I have manually connected jumper wires from EVK to J-link as per the images attached.

    Snapshot of pinouts in EVK for external debug

    Snapshot J-link pinouts.

    But yet in CCS studio not able to flash firmware using J-Link.

    I am using Code Composer Studio V10 in the Ubuntu system & configured J-link Emulator in properties for debugging

    In EVK 2nd pin, MCU_TRST should be connected to 3rd pin TRST Or 15th pin RESET of J-link ?

    Is there dependency of Windows PC for this activity ?

    Hello,

    MCU_TRSTN should be connected to 3rd pin TRST of J-link.

    If the JTAG cable is longer than the maximum value (10cm, please check) recommended by IEEE1149 standard, please reduce the JTAG frequency or use a buffer for JTAG signals.

    Please check the JTAG clock at MCU TCK pin to make sure the clock signal is clean enough.

    With CCS 10.1.0.00010 running under Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS I was able to successfully use a J-Link to debug a TMS570LS0432. For that fitted a 14-pin header to J12 of the LAUNCHXL-TMS57004, and an ARM20TI14 adapter to connect the J-Link.

    Therefore, should also work with a J-Link and RM42L432 with CCS10 under Ubuntu.

    It was connection issue, it is resolved now
