Original question:

AM2612: Unstable Debugging Operation

CCSTUDIO: Alternate Communication in .ccxml required for AM2612 Real time debug

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Hello CCS Team,

in Eclipse version Target configuration, there was Alternate communcaition function.

this function is very important for the real time debug of AM261x.

https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM261X/26_00_00_06/exports/docs/api_guide_am261x/REAL_TIME_DEBUG_SUPPORT_GUIDE.html

Because AM261x has cache memory, with normal JTAG access, it cannot get the exact information, and also with JTAG connection IC speed goes low. sometimes it makes reset. so using UART for debugging is mandatory for real-time applications.

Could you add this feature in CCS?

Regards,

Ted

    Hi Ted,

    I assume you are referring to the UART Connection type. While that interface to add it from the "Basic" tab of the ccxml file is missing, you can manually add it from the "Advanced" tab as a "New Connection". However, there is a known limitation where you can only select devices to add to it and not cpus. Hence you will not be able to set up the connection as mentioned in the document you referenced. We plan on fixing this in the upcoming CCS 21.1.0 release: https://sir.ext.ti.com/jira/browse/EXT_EP-12906

    Thanks
