XDS560R Code Composer does not support the connected target

This is likely a driver corruption problem - have you tried reinstalling the XDS560 Emulation drivers?

Could you also please let me know what version of CCS you are currently working with? Can you open up CCS with a simulator instead of an emulator configuration?

It's version 3.3.  I can open CCS if I chose the emulation driver (for the USB - JTAG chip).  But this EVM board's USB connector has broken off, so my only way to load and debug is thru the XDS560R.

I did try re-installing the drivers, but that had no effect.  The driver I'm using is "setupXDS560RCCSPlatinum_v30320.exe".  Do you know if there is a more recent version?

Thanks.

3.03.20 is the most recent version released per the Spectrum Digital site. The only thing that I can think of is that there is an incorrect version of the USCIF driver which is causing issues with the 560R.

If you take a look at the Release Notes found at the link above you will see that the drivers were updated for CCS 3.3 SR2 and USCIF 35.24.03 under New Features and Bug Fixes. I believe that you will need to update to at least Service Release 2 in order to use these drivers.

You can find which version of CCS you are currently using by opening the IDE and selecting Help->About. Feel free to read more about the versioning here. You can download the latest Service Releases from the Update Advisor (Help->Update Advisor->Check for Updates) assuming you have an active CCS Subscription.

Thanks for the revision code links, that was very helpful.  It turns out I did not have SR2 or greater applied to my Code Composer, so that probably explains why the XDS didn't connect.  I haven't yet confirmed that by applying the SR2.

Thank-you.

Great, let us know if you run into any other problems getting your XDS560R to work.

We have run into the same situation.

We are trying to get an XDS560R emulator up and running with the 6434 evaluation module.  As far as we can determine CCS 3.1 (which we have) does not support this.  The demo version of CCS 3.3 is the original release.  Is there anyway we can get the service pack for CCS 3.3?  We only need to develop some hardware debug code for our C6424 based boards that will arrive in a couple of weeks.  The actual application for those boards is being developed separately by another division of the company.  Because of this we cannot justify purchasing CCS 3.3.

Hi Mark,

6434? You probably mean 6424...

For DSPs with 64x+ cores (like 6455, 6424...) you need CCS 3.2 and up indeed. It does not work for CCS 3.1.

We can not send Service Releases for the version that comes with the EVM or evaluation version.  You need a valid registration to go inside the update advisor and get the SR.

I would like to point out that CCS is temporarily with a promotional price:

To add to Mariana's point, CCS v3.1 did not provide any support for the 64x+ when it originally came out so CCS v3.2 was released as a temporary "fix" for that gap as CCS v3.3 was not yet ready. Because CCS v3.2 was only meant to be temporary it only truly supports the DSP core on DM6446 and the C6455.

As Mariana said the free evaluation version of CCS v3.3 has no access to the Update Advisor.

Thanks for the information.  Yes I meant the 'C6424.  Looks like we'll take advantage of the special pricing and order the version 3.3 of CCS.  It looks like that'll be cheaper in the long run.
