TMS320F28386D: XDS110 Debug Probe Adapter Problem

Part Number: TMS320F28386D


Tool/software:

Hello! 

I am trying to connect to my target (TMS320F28386D) by way of the XDS110 Debug Probe. The target's connector is the 10-pin ARM while the XDS110's connector is the CTI-20. 

Schematically the 10-pin connector is this: 

We had to cut on the adapter (on the CTI-20 connector) pin 15 so the nRESET pin on the debugger was not being triggered. The stub of pin 15 (which connects to JTAG_TRST net on the target's schematic) was then looped with a wire to pin 2 of the CTI-20 to connect to TRSTn on the debugger. 

Why wouldn't this adapter work out of the box for us? 

We also looped, on the board side 10-pin connector, pin 4 to 7. I do not believe this helped though. 

Any help is appreciated thank you!

  • Hi Seth,

    We had to cut on the adapter (on the CTI-20 connector) pin 15 so the nRESET pin on the debugger was not being triggered. The stub of pin 15 (which connects to JTAG_TRST net on the target's schematic) was then looped with a wire to pin 2 of the CTI-20 to connect to TRSTn on the debugger.

    Are you able to connect after making these modifications? 

    Why wouldn't this adapter work out of the box for us? 

    It looks like the ARM 10-pin header does not include TRST signal.

  • Hi Ben, 

    Thanks for the quick response. 

    We were able to connect to the target after our modification to the adapter board. 

    I understand now. The processor (TMS320F28386D) should not use the 10-pin configuration. 

    Thanks!
