XDS100v2 and Concerto Control Card issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hello,

I've installed and updated CCSv4 and controlSuite on two computers, one running Win XP (SP 2) and one with Win 7. When I plug two USB cables (J2 and J20 on the card) into the Win 7 machine, XDS100 appears in device manager (as explained in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS100#Installation_for_Code_Composer_Studio_v4.x) and I can normally connect to both 28x and M3 targets.

The problem is that when I connect USB cables to the computer with Win XP an USB tray icon appears shortly but nothing new appears in device manager. When I try to connect to 28x or M3 target I get an error message:

Error connecting to the target:
(Error -151 @ 0x0)
This utility failed to open the adapter for a custom emulator.
The adapter returned an error.
(Release 5.0.429.0)

I tried reinstalling CCSv4 two times but it didn't help. What could be the problem?

Regards, Josip

    Hi Josip,

    That is very strange to hear that the card works on Windows 7 but not XP.  This definitely narrows down the problem to the Windows XP computer.  I can confirm withtout a doubt that the Concerto controlCard can be used with XP (I do it all the time).

    Have you tried plugging other USB devices into that same USB port?  Do they work?  If not I suspect a bad USB port.  Can you try the controlCard with other USB ports?  If that doesn't fix it I suspect an issue with the XDS100 drivers.

    Trey,

    I'm using the same ports with e.g. SpectrumDigital's XDS510 USB Plus emulator and it works fine. I've also tried other USB ports on the same computer, but with no avail. Can I manually reinstall XDS100 drivers without reinstalling whole CCSv4?

    Josip,

    For some reason the only official way to get a new copy of the driver is to do a full un-install and re-install of CCS.  As someone who has done this before, I can tell you that this is a pain and something you shouldn't have to do just to get some drivers.

    I looked around in my installation and was able to find the drivers and I've attached them to this post here:

    2605.ftdi.zip

    Before you install new drivers for the XDS100 you should clean your system of any corrupted drivers that may be causing issues.  Download the FTDI Clean utility from here:

    http://www.ftdichip.com/Resources/Utilities/FTClean.zip

    Extract and run the utility.  Select other as the VID in the drop down box and type in 0403.  In the PID box type A6D0, then click clean system.  This will remove any FTDI drivers associated with the XDS100.  After this completes extract the drivers I attached and plug in your XDS100.  When Windows asks what to do, point it to the directory that you extracted the driver into and let it search.  Windows should find the drivers and install the hardware.


    Let me know if this works for you or if you need additional assistance,

    Trey

    Trey,

    I've tried the procedure you recommended: driver uninstallation goes without problems, but when I plug in my controlCard Windows don't ask me anything. Only the USB tray icon appears shortly, there is no XDS100 in device manager and Windows don't prompt for drivers. I've also tried manually running the DPInst32.exe and than plugging in the cables, but this doesn't help either.

    Than I installed XDS100 drivers on two other Win XP computers, and both recognized the controlCard when I plugged it in. Both of these other computers had SP3 so I upgraded my Windows to SP3 and now everything works fine.

    Conclusion: XDS100 drivers for Win XP require SP3.

    Thank you for help Trey.

    Hello Trey,

    I also faced similar problems with Windows XP SP2. 

    Do you agree with the conclusion made by Josip? 

    Please suggest some specific changes if i don't want to upgrade to SP3.
