XDS510USB with evaluation version of CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

 

 

I have been trying to get an XDS510USB emulator to work with several versions of CCS.  I have tried CCS3.3, 4.2, 5.02 (latest available for download).  And have setup and followed several guides on this website however I always get the following error..

 

Error connecting to the target:
Error 0x80002240/-115
Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control,

Or some equivalent version of it in the specific version of CCS.

 

My question is.   Should I be able to use this emulator (XDS510USB) with an evaluation licence (or the 90 day extension licence) of CCS XXX, or do I need a real/full licence?

Note: BlackHawk test/check utilities do not find any errors related to the XDS510USB emulator.

 

Note: I'm trying to connect to an L138 EVM.

 

Thanks,

  • Orlando I am sure that, the inexpensive XDS100v2 works with the evaluation version of CCS 4 and 5.

    You can refer to the below site for some ideas.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debugging_JTAG_Connectivity_Problems

    If you have not done so, try unplugging your emulator and replugging...I've found that the emulation  driver initializes more cleanly by doing that.

     

  • Thanks for your reply,

     

    I have tried reconnecting the usb cable. 

     

    I also tried the dbgjtag command and it seems to yield similar results.  The output is below perhaps someone will recognize and obvious problem.

     

    ======================

    C:\CCStudio_v3.3\cc\bin>dbgjtag -f brddat\ccbrd0.dat -rv

    -----[Print the reset-command software log-file]------------------

    This utility has selected an XDS510 class product.
    This utility will load the adapter 'jioserdesusb.dll'.
    This utility will operate on port address '0'.

    An error occurred while soft opening the controller.

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

    This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver.

    The value is '-151' (0xffffff69).
    The title is 'SC_ERR_POD_OPEN'.

    The explanation is:
    This utility failed to open the adapter for a custom emulator.
    The adapter returned an error.

    ========================

     

     

    Regardless back to my original question.   Is a full licence of CCS required to use an external emulator like the XDS510USB?

    Thanks,

  • Orlando,

    Are you using the Spectrum Digital XDS510USB or an XDS510 USB from a different vendor?  Spectrum Digital and Blackhawk each have their own emulator test utilities.  These utilities are included with the vendor's emulator driver installation.

    I do not beleive the Free Evaluation Version of CCS 3.3 (that was downloadable from the TI website) supported ANY external JTAG Emulator connection.  Only the simulator configurations worked.  A full purchased version of the CCS v3.3 was required to access a JTAG emulator / Target board.  If there was any other 'Free' or 'Evaluation' version available, maybe a TI employee can chime in with additional detail.

    The Free downloadable version of CCS v4.x will support XDS510 and XDS560 connections for 30 days.  Then it must be registered (purchased) to continue support of the emulators.

    In general, yes you have to purchase CCS to use it with an external XDS510 or XDS560 JTAG emulator.

  • Thank you for the information,

     

    This seems to confirm my observations while trying to use the XDS510USB we have.

     

    Thanks again,
