LAUNCHXL-F28069M: Out of box demo displays nothing on Putty

Srinath,

Was is the name of the device in Device Manager? is it the XDS100V2 ?

Also, under section 4.1 of sprui11.pdf ( the PDF you linked) , their is a suggestion to try if your demo code does not start. Give this a go and see what happens.

Hi Vincent

Under Windows it isn't displayed as XDS100v2, just as COM port-14.
So i tried it under Linux.. where the command lsusb clearly mentions it as
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0403:a6d0 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd Texas Instruments XDS100v2 JTAG / BeagleBone A3

So i fire up putty in Linux, set the baud rate and connect to ttyUSB0 and i see the output :)

So one more Windows BS :)
Not sure if this will affect other issues like flashing code from VisSim (Windows) etc... Would be nice to get it to work on Windows considering that so much of TI's stuff is supported only on Windows

Hi Vincent

It's not displayed as XDS100V2 in Windows..
Linux displays it as such with no fuss using the command lsusb
Also connecting to it from Putty works on Linux, so this seems to be a Windows issue.

Would be nice to have it working also on Linux, since so much of TI stuff(Motorware, ControlSuite) is focussed on Windows & i would also like to flash code from VisSim to the board directly.

Have you installed Code Composer Studio on your Windows PC? it sounds like you might not have the drivers installed.

You also can install just the drivers at processors.wiki.ti.com/.../XDS_Emulation_Software_Package.

I strongly suggest to install Code Composer Studio, if you have not done that.

Let me know if that helps!

While installing CCS you need to check Spectrum Digital drivers in Debugger Installation Selection window.

Reinstalled CCS-7 with Spectrum Digital drivers, the board is now recognized as "XDS100 Class USB serial port (COM14)",
Entered com14 and 115200 baud into putty, but it displays nothing in Windows

Can you flash the demo code again? You can find the same here:
C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\LAUNCHXL-F28069M\LaunchPadDemo

I get this error when opening the project...

Error: Import failed for project 'LAUNCHXL-F28069M' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support.

Sounds like your controlSUITE Install didn't work correctly.

Try reinstalling controlSUITE.
