DRA821U: Failed to connect J7200 EVM with Blackhawk USB560v2 System Tracer debugger (BH-USB-560v2)

Part Number: DRA821U

Tool/software:

Hi there,

I tried to connect Blackhawk USB560v2 System Tracer debugger (BH-USB-560v2) to J7200 EVM in CCS 12.8.1. CCS reported error# -183. I attached the screen shot and log below. My EVM is set to NO BOOT mode. Can you tell me what is wrong? I expect it work out of box since CCS support this debugger.

Thanks,

Charles

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-183' (0xffffff49).

The explanation is:
The controller has detected a cable break far-from itself.
The user must connect the cable/pod to the target.

  • FYI, the on-board XDS110 debugger has no this connection problem. SW3.2 on EVM is in ON position. I have the same connection problem to my custom board and this is why I'd like to verify on EVM first. 

  • Hi Praveen,

    Thanks for sharing the information, but they don't apply to my case. Both LEDs on my USB560v2 are green so the situation in the first two threads is different from my issue. I also tried on Linux machine, lsusb correctly detected the debugger but the test connection still failed. The logs are attached below.

  • Okay, can you tell us why you're not using the onboard XDS110 interface?

    Also, how are you connecting your USB560v2 to the J7200 EVM?

    We generally use the onboard XDS110 interface. Based on your above answers, we may need to check and try at our end to see if we encounter the same issue you mentioned. 

    Thanks.

  • Hi Praveen,

    I actually want to debug my custom board which doesn't have XDS110, but I found USB560v2 doesn't work with our custom board. So I tried it with EVM and found it doesn't work either. I connect USB560v2 to EVM through MIPI 60 connector.

  • We gave it a try with the Blackhawk XDS5560v2, and we are able to connect successfully with the TI EVM. The test connection log is below. Do you have an extra XDS560v2 that you could try?

  • Hi Praveen,

    Thanks for checking. I don't have any spare around but I will get another one and try it again.

  • Okay, we'll close the thread for now.
