TMS320C6748: Power Up Issue

Part Number: TMS320C6748


Hi all,

Background

We are using the TMDSLCDK6748 eval platform schematics as the basis for a custom test board design. 

The custom test board uses DSP chip: TMS320C6748EZWT4.

Problem: 

The C6448 chip is unable to be flashed with software. Attempts result in: 

error: 6311 PRSC module failed to write to a register

Other thread posts suggest this is typically a power issue.

We have followed suggestions of other threads and have inspected the core status via the JTAG route controller (ICEPICK). 

Status:

Clock: CLK On

Power: Power Off

Clock Down Desired: CLK Down active

Power Down Desired: Power Down inactive

In Reset: In Reset

Reset Control: Reset (None)

We note that this is not a valid core status as described in the CCS manual:

Can someone advise on other troubleshooting avenues? Thanks in advance.

Troubleshooting Efforts

1. Since this a powerup issue, we have checked the required power-on-reset sequence as described here: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva490/slva490.pdf

Measured power-on trace

2. Verified: TRST is pulled low in the circuit as this is required: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/spracm8a/spracm8a.pdf
