Low Power Mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28027, TMS320F28377D

I have been trying to connect to a custom TMS320F28027.  I get this error

"Failed Software Reset: A reset is already in progress:

(Error -1156 @ 0x0)
Device may be operating in low-power mode. Do you want to bring it out of this mode?
(Emulation package 5.1.8.0)"

I have a pull up resistor on the XRS pin to try to pull it out of reset.  Please help if you can.  

  • Hi all, I also encountered the same problem, as following info and screen. Regards, Roc

  • Hello,

    Have you scoped the XRSn pin to see if indeed it is 3.3V?  Also scope all of the power pins to confirm that the required voltage is being supplied.

    Regards,

  • Hello Adam,

    Whether the bad flash(on chip) or lock the flash may lead to this issue?

  • Roc,

    Which device are you using?

    Is the device on a controlcard, TI kit or custom PCB?

    How are you powering the device?

    If you are programming to flash, this could be caused by not supplying enough current to program the flash.  

    Regards,

  • Hi Mubin Qadri

    I had similar problems with 28377D controlCard. (The problems arised when I was playing with PLL settings...)

    I was able to solve my problem by erasing the whole flash like this:

    (if question about low power mode comes -> click yes)

    • View ->Target configurations
    • Right click on target config -> launch selected configuration
    • In Debug perspective -> Menu Run -> Connect Target
    • Then setting a breakpoint at 0x80000 (in disassembly view)
    • Free run until breakpoint is hit
    • Menu Tools -> On-Chip Flash -> Erase entire flash
    • After erasing -> Stop debug -> cycle power of board

    After this procedure I was able to connect "normally" whith debugger.
