TIDM-TMS570BMS: After running the debugger with the TMS570BMS software from http://www.ti.com/tool/tidm-tms570bms what is the process to open the GUI? I'm receiving "Unable to open port"

Part Number: TIDM-TMS570BMS

Dear Sir/Madam: 

After running the debugger with the TMS570BMS software from www.ti.com/.../tidm-tms570bms what is the process to open the GUI? I'm receiving "Unable to open port".

  • Hello Elda,

    The GUI uses UART to communicate with q76pl455 and LS0432 MCU. There are two UART interfaces: MCU to PC, MCU and BQ76pl455. SCI/LIN is used to interface with bq76pl455, and N2HET emulated UART is used to communicate with PC.

    Two modifications has to be make:
    1. remove two resistors: R8, R9
    2 add 1 wire between FT2232 (U2) pin38 and pin2 of J4, another wire between FT2232(U2) pin39 and pin0 of J4
