I have a number of Concerto chips that have failed with the reset pin pulled low. I have tried to reprogram them using both Uniflash and CCS to no avail. Is there a way to force the chip to respond or is it unrecoverable?
I believe I will be forced to replace the CPU chips but I need to know why they failed. Can you tell me how to return them for analysis and what this will entail, including the cost.
We are in an advanced stage of development, running simulations on a network of 75 nodes for use in a PLC application. This poses a serious concern and we need some support from TI. What can you offer?
Thanks,
Pat Harris
Hi Pat,
Is the reset pin is low all the time or is toggeling 0/1 ?
If you have not tried the "WIR Mode" yet, you could try the same and see if you could connect to CCS in that mode and then debug the failure.

Vivek,
THanks for your reply. I tried to force the WIR state with jumpers, but it didn't cause a change. The reset line is pulled low continuously. Would you say that the CPU has failed?

Vivek,
I have seven boards out of 80 that are showing this failure. 5 of these were working, then quit. Resetting the board and trying to reprogram does not work.

Hi Pat,
I am sure you must have checked the power supply on the boards where it's failing but just wanted to confirm that it's indeed checked and you don't see any issue with power supply. Bad power supply is one of the main reason why XRSn could be low.

Yes, we did check the power values, 3.3v, 1.8v, 1.2v, All appeared proper. I could program with either the USB XDS interface or the JTAG 560V2.
