Hello Saeid,

Have you read the information guide located in controlSUITE?

Hi Adam,
I was checking that document but couldn't understand that can I connect to the Dockstation USB port or not. In addition, do I need to change any jumper setting on the Conrolcard or default setting enabling for connecition via dockstation USB port?
I guess this controlcard shall be working with CCS 7.?

Best Regards
Saeid

Hi Saeid,

In order to access the controlCARD pins (180 pins), you need to put all J2-J7 jumpers down, so the MCU will connect to 180 pins on the controlCARD docking station.

In order to program your kit with CCS or Simulink, you need to put "A:SW1" ON(up)-ON(up) and "SW1" OFF(up)-ON(down):

Hope it helps,

Hello Saied,

find the information document located under C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28379D_v1_0

this introductory document is pretty helpful. It will give you the necessary information to start with this kit.

You got USBs when you got the kit. Just connect the kit and your PC with these USBs. Open CCS and make configuration files as needed.

Cheers,

Javy

Thanks for the nice tips. When I connect to the USB port in Docking station with the setting you mentioned, here is the report when I test the connection with testing (I configure the device with XDS100V2 USB port):

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe_0]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

[Result]

-----[Print the board config pathname(s)]------------------------------------

C:\Users\haghbin\AppData\Local\TEXASI~1\
CCS\ti\2\0\BrdDat\testBoard.dat

-----[Print the reset-command software log-file]-----------------------------

This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
This utility will load the adapter 'jioserdesusb.dll'.

An error occurred while soft opening the controller.

-----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-151' (0xffffff69).
The title is 'SC_ERR_FTDI_OPEN'.

The explanation is:
One of the FTDI driver functions used during the connect
returned bad status or an error. The cause may be one or
more of: no XDS100 is plugged in, invalid XDS100 serial number,
blank XDS100 EEPROM, missing FTDI drivers, faulty USB cable.
Use the xds100serial command-line utility in the 'common/uscif'
folder to verify the XDS100 can be located.

[End: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe_0]

Thanks Javy,
Couldn't manage to get it work. I am afraid I have other issues like USB port drivers and so on.

Hi Saeid,

It seems your error was caused by the FTDI serial port mismatch. Check this to make sure the port number has not been modified by your PC and ensure the port number on PC match that in your configuration file. Usually it is COM 5 or COM 2 or others possibly.

Cheers,

Javy

Saied,
it seems the problem is the port number or cable.

Hi,

Here is what I found in a Multiday workshop materials:

Initial Hardware Set Up
Insert the F28377D controlCARD into the Docking Station connector slot. Using the two (2) supplied USB cables – plug the USB Standard Type A connectors into the computer USB ports and plug the USB Mini-B connectors as follows:
• A:J1 on the controlCARD (left side) – isolated XDS100v2 JTAG emulation
• J17 on the Docking Station – board power
On the Docking Station move switch S1 to the “USB-ON” position. This will power the Docking Station and controlCARD using the power supplied by the computer USB port. Additionally, the other computer USB port will power the on-board isolated JTAG emulator and provide the JTAG communication link between the device and Code Composer Studio.

Saied,
That's correct. you need to have a USB cable connected to J17 (or 5v connected to J1 on the Docking Station) to power up the board and another USB cable connected to A:J1 to power up the JTAG emulator to program the board. you can also use S1 on the Docking Station to toggle to choose USB or 5v external power.

In order to use the 180 pins on the Docking Station, you need to put all J2,J3,J4,J5,J6 and J7 jumpers down.

In order to run your program on the board using CCS or Simulink, put A:SW1 Up-Up (left top side) and SW1 Up-Down (right bottom side).

In order to boot and run your program from the on-board flash, put A:SW1 Down-Up (left top side) and SW1 Up-Up (right bottom side).

Hope it helps.

Many thanks! I have it.

Best Regards
