TMDSSOLARCEXPKIT Not Connecting To My Laptop (<Unknown source>#13)

Ovie Ofugara

Hello,

For some reason, I'm not able to get any connection whatsoever between my PC and the Development kit. Please see picture of the device as well as the error message (<Unknown source #13>) I get from the GUI below. 

The default emulator that came up was XDS100v1 which didn't work. I changed that to XDS100v2 via app settings, but it didn't make any difference.

I've tried a different board and it worked, but this one isn't connecting at all. Same issue occurs on other PCs. 

Could it be a faulty board? What am I doing wrong?

    First of all, I notice that the board in your picture is from the TMDSSOLARUINVKIT kit (not the TMDSSOLARCEXPKIT).

    In your response, you've stated that the GUI was able to work on a different board.  What board were you able to get a GUI to work with?  [1] Another TMDSSOLARUINVKIT or [2]] some other C2000 kit?

    If [1], I'd double check connectors, jumpers, etc on the kit that isn't able to connect. 
    If [2], I would suggest carefully re-going through the QSG guide for the TMDSSOLARUINVKIT.  One thing I notice is that in your picture, the C2000 chip on the controlCARD is not powered (ie LD1 is not lit).


    Thank you,
    Brett

    Hey Brett,

    I started from scratch and it's working now. Thank you!
