TMDSEMU200-U: API available for XDS200 programmer

Oliver,

Just to confirm: You are planning to replace the GANG with Uniflash and hence, you are trying to use XDS200 with Uniflash - correct?  

I will discuss with the team here on XDS200 remote control capability and let you know.  

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi

Oliver,

The gang programmer allows you to program multiple targets at once. With the XDS200 you can program one target at a time. Are you going to use multiple XDS200 emulators in your setup?

Hello Gus Martinez, 

yes, that is correct. I want to replace the gang programmer with four XDS200 programmers. I need to know if it is possible to remote control such a XDS200 from a C# application using a DLL or another kind of API for example. 

Best regards

Oliver

Hello Vamsi, 

thank you for your answer! I just want to replace the gang programmer with four XDS200 programmers. However, I need to remote control them from a C# application using some kind of API (DLL or something else).

Hello Oliver,

There is no public API you can interface to for the debug probe.

However, there are a set of Java APIs that will allow you to interface to the debugger itself. This will allow you to start a debug session, connect to the device, and load/flash the program:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/sdto_dss_handbook.html

However, DSS is a set of Java APIs. Calling them from a C/C++/C# application is not officially supported. There is likely a way to do this but it is something we cannot help with.

There may be other options for you. What is your exact use case? If you just need to flash the target, you can try having your application make a system call to run the loadti utility or maybe explore the DSS test server and have your application connect to the socket and send commands to the running remote test server.

Thanks
