TMS320F28377D: replacing XDS100v2 with XDS110 as the in-board debugger

Peter Hanger1

Part Number: TMS320F28377D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F280049C

Dear team,

for development of a F28377D based board, there is the idea to replace the XDS100v2 (which was used for other projects with C2000) with the XDS110 to have more performance for debugging.

Is it possible to put the XDS110 debugger on a new design, by using the right ARM-core and is it possible to flash this with the bootloader and firmware, with free available tools?

- Have you seen this approach already?

- Is it possible and supported?

- Is there information/documentation or material to support this?

Thanks,

Peter

    Peter,

    Yes the XDS110 is compatible with C2000 devices! Please see the list of Debug probes compatible with c2000: www.ti.com/.../tools-software.html

    You can refer to any of the latest versions of TI LaunchPads which have the XDS110 debug probe embedded on them. For a C2000 version, you can look at the LAUNCHXL-F280049C. There is a minor difference with this board as it is using 2-pin cJTAG which is not supported on the F2837x devices. You would just need to route the full set of JTAG signals to the F2837x.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello,

    I think you got us wrong here. It is completely clear, that the XDS110 is compatible with the C2000 series.

    Thing is, we do not want to use a XDS110 probe from the market, but instead design the required hardware onto our pcb to have it paired with out C2000 all the time. Therefore the question which hardware and software is needed to implement this debugger on our own.

    Michael,

    When I mentioned that you can refer to the LaunchPad designs, you are free to take the schematic and even copy the layout into your design as is, though it can be optimized for space IMHO.
    Here is the XDS110 wiki page: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../XDS110 . Once the design is on the board, you can follow the "Updating the XDS110 Firmware" section for programming a fresh probe. I have personally followed these instructions on a fresh board and TM4C129 device with the properl layout. You only need a USB connection to the PC.

    I hope this helps.

    -Mark
