TMS5700432BPZQQ1R: Can’t flash TMS5700432 with JTAG from TMS570LC43x Hercules Development Kit with a XDS100v2 programmer.

 

Hi all,

 

For a school project I’ve to design an embedded system with a TMS5700432 chip and I want to flash it with a TMS570LC43x Hercules Development Kit with an onboard XDS100v2 programmer. But it doesn’t work.

I developed the embedded system with KiCAD and a professional PCB company in the Netherlands made the board.

When the PCB was delivered, I try to verify the connection in Code Composer Studio (see picture), but I got error code 183 back.

Error msg:

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

-----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-183' (0xffffff49).
The title is 'SC_ERR_CTL_CBL_BREAK_FAR'.

The explanation is:
The controller has detected a cable break far-from itself.
The user must connect the cable/pod to the target.

[End]

First I wanted to make sure that the JTAG connection worked on a another board. So, I programmed two development-kits and that worked fine.

I measured the clock on my board, and it gives a stable 10 MHz signal. I use a 12V power supply with TPS562200DDCR step-down converts, to convert it to 3.3V I/O voltage and 1.2V core voltage. The core voltage is a little bit noisy (see picture), but when measured with the multimeter it gives a voltage of 1.21V. Is the noise maybe the cause of the problem?

 

The other point I’m not sure about, is that I didn’t implemented pull-up resistors on the PCB. I didn’t place them on my board because there are already pull-ups from the dev-kit (right?). Can that be a problem? See pictures below:

 

Does anybody know what I did wrong in my design and maybe how to fix it?

 

Kind regards,
