LAUNCHXL-F28069M: No connection to target.

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28069M
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BOOSTXL-DRV8301

Tool/software:

CCS 20.0.0 installation ended without showing an error. I plugged in the LaunchPad via USB. It starts blinking but CSS doesn't recognize the device ('No compatible board detected - please connect your board').

The device manager shows the XDS100 Class USB (COM6) and a serial USB device (COM4). Texas Instruments Debucg Probes XDS100 Class Auxiliary Port and XDS 100 Class Debug Port is also visible in the device manager.

I plugged in an eZ430-RF2500 target, but it is also not recognized.

Please provide a solution.

The install log shows these lines (I just copied a chunk of lines which look suspicious to me.)

  • Hi,

    Could you check out this app note? https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spracf0

    Could you also try debugging with CCS first?

    Thank you,

  • Thank you for your reply.

    the link you provided unfortunately didn't help. So I stopped trying to get the CSS (version 20.0.0) running with my board.

    The sentence 'Could you also try debugging with CCS first?' puzzled me, as I used CSS (version 20.0.0). Do you mean to test with an older version? Well, I did.

    I downloaded CSS 12.8.1. With this version, I have access to the board. After searching for a project that I could run on my device, and many, many tries, I finally succeeded in loading the 'BLDC_Sensorless' project. I can load it in the board and run it (without knowing up to now, whether the program could really spin a motor. I don't have a motor  connected, yet). However, as the program is designed for the DRV8312-EVM, which I don't have, I don't think a test with a motor would succeed.  :-(

    This leads me to my next problem:

    What software can I use as a starting point to develop a BLDC motor driver? I have a LAUNCHXL-F28069M and a BOOSTXL-DRV8301. I get the impression that this may be a bad combination, as there seems to be no software support for these boards. Right? I would be glad to be wrong. If so, please provide a link to the software I can download and run. If there is no software matching my system, it would be great, if you could give me some hints on which project I could use and maybe change some definition files to match my board constellation. 

    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Best regards,

    Marc Ihle

  • Hi,

    Sorry I misread your post and though you were using a command line tool. 

    I don't think that we have a solution for this combination of boards. We do for F2802x and I think it would be straight forward to migrate to F2806x.

    Why do you want to use these boards? I think it would be much easier to use some of our newer devices, and you would receive better support going forward.

    Best Regards,
