TMS320F280021: XDS110 connection error -215

Part Number: TMS320F280021


Tool/software:

Hello,

CCS Version: 20.3.0.14__1.9.0 Default VS Code API: 1.96.0

XDS110 debug probe

custom board with F280021.

When I execute the Run->Debug project command (F5), CCS loops in the "Starting CCS debug session..." status, then after a while the error -215 appears.

IcePick_C_0: Error connecting to the target: (Error -215 @ 0x0) The semaphore for the test bus controller is in a time-out state. Unified-SCIF was unable to acquire the semaphore used to express ownership of a controller by a utility or debugger. You may have to exit other clients because the timeout occurred. (Emulation package 20.3.0.3656)

After that even pressing the Cancel button the Starting CCS debug session... message remains in the CCS window corner. 

If I run again the debug project command I get the message "A Code Composer Debug session is in progress, press Continue to terminate it and continue with starting a new debug session". When I press the Continue button nothing changes, CCS keeps looping Starting CCS debug session... Sometimes I need to close and restart CCS to stop it. When I restart I get the CCS Crash report message:
A crash was encountered during the last CCS session. To help us resolve the issue, please click Submit to send us the crash logs. Please update your installation if updates are available.
View details button does nothing.

I have several identical boards and no difference, I'm pretty sure they are not faulty. The JTAG scan test succeeds (see below).

The same happens if I run the Flash device command (ctrl+F5).
Exactly the same happens if I just disconnect th JTAG connector from the board, confirming that the this is not a JTAG/hardware related issue.

The problem started yesterday when I upgraded CCS from 20.2 to 20.3. I'm stopped because no JTAG programming is possible now. 

Thanks for any help.
