AM69: Validating System Trace Hardware with USB560 v2 System Trace debugger

Chris Post

Part Number: AM69

Tool/software:

Hi, I am looking to validate our system trace hardware design on a custom board with an AM69 and an USB560 v2 System Trace debugger. Is there any easy way to connect to the processor and test the functionality of the system trace lines? I have been able to confirm the JTAG connection between the processor and debugger but cannot figure out in Code Composer Studio how to try and test the System Trace hardware connections.

Best,

Chris

Hi Chris,

How is the custom board designed? Have you taken care of following the schematics checklist -- https://www.ti.com/lit/an/sprad91b/sprad91b.pdf

In general, we have verified USB560 v2 System Trace debugger for debugging the AM69 cores on the AM69-SK board, though it has not been used for system tracing.

We suggest looking into some of the older app notes, which are still valid.

Thanks Praveen, the guides help and after looking into the options I believe it is not possible to use the USB560 v2 System Trace debugger for system tracing on the AM69.
