TMS320F28335: Issues with F28335 PGF Control Card Version 1.0 (TMDSCNCD28335PGF R1.0) with Docking Station USB-EMU [R3]

Hello,

CCSv9.3 returns a Load program Error when launching a debug session when I try to debugging/programming a TMDSCNCD28335PGF R1.0 control card (i.e. F28335 PGF Control Card Version 1.0) with Docking Station USB-EMU [R3]).  Please see hardware images at the bottom of this post.

The console shows (xxx are for privacy): 

C28xx: GEL Output: 
ADC Calibration not complete, check if device is unlocked and recalibrate.C28xx: Flash Programmer: Device is locked or not connected. Operation cancelled.
C28xx: File Loader: Memory write failed: Unknown error
C28xx: GEL: File: C:\xxx\xx\xxxx\xxx\xxxxxxx.out: Load failed.

It is possible the micro on the control card was password protected, I tried to following:

1. I set SW2 on the control card as follows:1 On, 2 On, 3 Off, 4 Off.

2. I set "The JTAG nTRST Boot-Mode" to Enabled - EMU1 is high, EMU0 is low and "The Power-On-Reset Boot_Mode" to "Enabled - EMU1 is high, EMU0 is low"

2. Connect to the target.

However, when I try to load the program I get the same failure message.

I am wondering if a xds100 JTAG debugger would work differently.  Is it possible to connect a xds100 JTAG debugger to the JTAG connector at the same time as the USB connector is plugged in (for power.  I don't have 5V power source that I can plug into JP1)?

Does my issue indicated the micro was password protected?
