TMDSEMU200-U: Xds200 Usb Emulator Fail

Part Number: TMDSEMU200-U
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2

Here are a few details regarding the XDS200 device we ordered:

 

We plugged in the XDS200 emulator into a Linux desktop which has Code Composer Studio (CCS) but CCS would not connect to it via Target Configurations. We then tried it on Windows 10 but we do not see the relevant port entries in Windows Device Manager. We then tried to follow steps outlined here:

 

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_xds200.html

 

> ./xds2xx_conf get xds2xxu 0

 

But received error message

 

Error : Failed to open port connection : xds2xxu : 0x0

Error : test failed

 

Based on this we concluded that the device is not functional.

  • Hi, Ryan,

    which device listed in the "Devices Supported" as shown in xds200 product web page did you have the xds200 plugged in at?

    Devices supported
    SimpleLink MCUs (CC13xx, CC26xx, CC3x, MSP432)
    C2000, TM4C12x and Hercules microcontrollers
    Sitara (AM1xxx, AM335x, AM43xx, AM57xx, AM65xx, AMIC1xx)
    Automotive SoCs (TDAx ADAS, DRAx infotainment)
    OMAPL processors (OMAPL137, OMAPL138)
    mmWave sensors (IWR/AWR14xx, IWR/AWR16xx, IWR68xx)
    C674x and C66x (Keystone I) Floating point DSPs
    C642x and C645x
    66AK2 and TCI66x Multicore DSP + ARM® SoCs (Keystone II)
    DaVinci processors (DM3xx, DM64xx)
    C55x Low-power DSPs
    UCD3x Digital Power devices
    PGA970 SoC
    Other TI SoCs with PRU, C674x, C66xx, Cortex M, Cortex R and Cortex A cores

    When you install CCS, did you include the supported devices when you were prompted to select component?

  • Hi Rex,

    We are using the XDS 200 device with the TDA2 platform.

    Yes, we have installed CCS with TDA2 support.

    However the issue is that the XDS200 device does not get detected even if just plugged in via USB to our PC.

    Thanks,

    Siddharth

  • Hi, Siddharth,

    If I understand what you described correctly, you just have xds200 plugged in to the PC without connecting to TDAx. The CCS doesn't detect xds200, but the SoC device through xds200. If that is the case, please correct it with TDA2x connected and test the connection to TDA2. If that is not the case, I'll have people from TDAx group to help you.

  • Hi Rex,

    Thanks for your reply. This is not a setup issue. We arleady tried connecting with the device plugged into TDA2 board via JTAG and loading target configuration via CCS. It does not connect.

    We have another XDS200 device which works fine. When I plug one end via USB to my PC I see the COM ports detected as below. This does not happen with the existing device we have contacted you for. 

  • Hi Siddharth,

    I am not sure about the windows problem, I can look into it. But for linux, you might have to install some drivers to correctly detect the XDS200 JTAG emulator. This is mentioned in the CCS download page I think. You have to run ccs/install_scripts/install_drivers.sh (this is inside the ccs installation directory). Also, may I know which CCS version are you using?

  • Hi Anand,

    We are using CCS 9.2 

    Thanks,

    Siddharth

  • Hi Siddharth,

    Oh okay. Try running the script I mentioned and let me know if that worked for you.
