TMS320F280034: CCS/XDS2xx debug USB probe

Part Number: TMS320F280034
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hello,

I'm trying to set-up a connection in CCS v 12.3 with the device TMS320F280034 using the XDS200 debug probe. Unfortunately I'm facing the following issues:

Led green appears on XDS200
When I click on Test connection I see the following error (I also checked the connection with xds2xx_conf):
1. [Start: Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Debug Probe_0]
  
  Execute the command:
  
  %ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity
  
  [Result]
  
  -----[Print the board config pathname(s)]------------------------------------
  
  C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\TEXASI~1\CCS\
  ccs1230\0\0\BrdDat\testBoard.dat
  
  -----[Print the reset-command software log-file]-----------------------------
  
  This utility has selected a 560/2xx-class product.
  This utility will load the program 'xds2xxu.out'.
  E_RPCENV_IO_ERROR(-6) No connection: DTC_IO_Open::dtc_io
  Failed to open i/o connection (xds2xxu:0)
  
  An error occurred while soft 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 '-250' (0xffffff06).
  The title is 'SC_ERR_ECOM_EMUNAME'.
  
  The explanation is:
  An attempt to access the debug probe via USCIF ECOM has failed.
  
  [End: Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Debug Probe_0]
Some days ago I was able to have a test connection working properly but with CCS v 12.6
1. I uninstalled it since the CCS version was not correct
The drivers in the PC seems also installed correctly:

Do you have any suggestion to solve it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Could you try the steps in 'updating the firmware' from this page? https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_xds200.html

Also, could you please share a screenshot of your target configuration?

Best Regards,

Ben Collier

Hello Benjamin,

this is the current configuration that I'm using in CCS:

If I also try to read the current firmware version stored inside XDS200 I have the following result (I tried to follow the steps to update the firmware version):

Thank you.

Ok, thank you. Can you also post a link to where you purchased the probe?

Hello Benjamin,

I didn't purchase it, unfortunately.

One good thing is that I changed USB port for the XDS200 and now the communication is working with it.

Previously it was connected to an USB hub (not powered).

Now I have a new issue. I'm trying to flash the TMS320F280034 but I'm not able to access the registers using uniflash. In particular I have the following error:

In this case I checked the chip connection and seems fine. Do you have an idea about this new error?

Thank you for the support.

Regards,

Andrea

Please note that many external debug probes are bus powered. A non-powered USB hub may not be able to provide enough power to the probe.

Please see the below article. See the section called "Device register"

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

Besides the chip connections, check the connections from the debug probe to JTAG hardware also. Are you working with a custom board?

Thanks
