CCS/MSP432P401R: Error 260

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Error connecting to the target:
(Error -260 @ 0x0)
An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed.
The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid
firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB
cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the
xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110
directory of your installation. View the ReadMe.txt file there
for instructions.
(Emulation package 7.0.100.1)

I tried with the Readme.txt  but it is not working . I am not getting where the issue is ?

Because boards and cable are new , it should work ?

  • Akshay,

     Yes, this should work. Running the xdsdfu utility mentioned in the error message and the Readme.txt in the  .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory should restore the LaunchPad to be recognized in CCS. The steps from the Readme.txt you should follow are:

    (from the .../uscif/xds110 directory)

    xdsdfu -m
    xdsdfu -f firmware.bin -r

    After this - try 1 or more of the following:

    1. Power cycle the board and reconnect it to see if the PC now detects the board. 
    2. Replace the USB cable
    3. Disconnect the jumpers on J101 (which disconnects the MSP432 but the XDS110 interface should still be seen by the PC. If disconnecting these jumpers fixes the problem, then you likely have a damaged '432 and need to replace the board. 

    You can also try referring to the new CCS7 debugging jtag connectivity issues page.  The older page is here, for reference. Section 5.1 of the new page mentions the Error -260 you encountered.
