Is my C2000 dead? Error: 0x80000200/-1031 Fatal Error during: OCS, Device Driver: Problem with the Emulation Controller :

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320LF2407A

So I'm using my dsp (the TMS320LF2407a eZdsp) to run a 48V DC/DC converter. Also using Code Composer v3.1 on a windows XP machine.

For testing I am connecting two npn MOSFETs in series with each other with a load going from the source of one to the drain of the other.

We started testing at 12VDC/24VDC which resulted in perfectly fine 12 ~ 24 VDC square waves with the PWM1 and PWM2 of the DSP controlling the mosfets.

However, when we bumped up the voltage to 48VDC, the oscilloscope started reading higher square waves (~52 VDC) then 48VDC, then down to 32 VDC, then up to 48 VDC, so we disconnected the circuit.  We disconnected it within a very short amount of time of starting the board.

Now the DS2 light on the DSP doesn't turn on.  The DSP no longer outputs any square waves(or anything) and we can no longer connect to our board and receive the following error upon attempting to connect:

 Error: 0x80000200/-1031 Fatal Error during: OCS,

Device Driver: Problem wit the Emulation Controller :

It is recommended to RESET EMULATOR. This will disconnect each target from the emulator. The targets should be then power cycled or hard reset followed by an emureset and reconnect to each target.

My questions are, how do we carry out a "hard reset"? And is there any way to debug this besides doing the SDConfig methods?  Can you provide any advice for troubleshooting this type of error?

UPDATE: After verifying the circuit we were using, it was discovered that a MOSFET blew.  The MOSFET currently has a short from gate to source and a much smaller resistance than should be from drain to source.  We believe this would have connected the pwm unit of the DSP directly to its ground.  Though the MOSFET was rated for the situation, we believe this would have caused potential damage to the DSP.
