External Emulator with TMDXICE3359 and TMDXIDK3359

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3359

Has anyone had luck using an external emulator to debug the AM3359 on either TMDXICE3359 (reworked to use 20pin CTI header) or TMDXIDK3359?

I am attempting to use the XDS510 USB from Spectrum Digital with CCSv5.

I had no trouble debugging with the XDS100v2 on the ICE board. Since converting the ICE to use the 20pin CTI I cannot load a program and debug. I changed the target configuration to use the XDS510 USB and I am able to connect to target and run the initizalization script. I performed the emulator test in SDCONFIG and 1 device was found in the JTAG chain. When I load a program I expect to stop at main, but the Debug window in CCSv5 indicates the program is already "Running" while I can see it is not.

I am having the same trouble debugging on the IDK.

Thank you.

I have worked with XDS510USB on IDK, not on ICE. Once the program is loaded and is in "Running" state, do the following,

Suspend the program (Run->Suspend).
Restart the program ( Run->Restart)

This will bring the control to the 'main' function.

Thank you for the reply.

When suspending I receive the following error:

CortxA8: Trouble Removing Breakpoint with the Action "Finish Auto Run" at 0x80004f88: Error 0x20000008/-1066 Severe Error during: Break Point, Cannot set/verify breakpoint at 0x80004F88

A restart takes me back to the same "Running" state.

Which version of CCS are you using?

I'm using 5.1.0.0900. I have also seen errors like this . What I usually do is, resetting the system and load it again.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by resetting and loading again, could you be more specific? I have tried exiting and relaunching CCS, disconnecting/reconnecting the XDS510, cleaning and rebuilding the project, power cycling the target board. Perhaps I'm still missing something.

Thanks.

I was finally able to get the XDS510 and XDS560v2 Traveler to work with the IDK and ICE by using GEL files from:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP_and_Sitara_CCS_support#AM335x

TMDXICE3359.gel works for the ICE, although the initialization scripts seems to work better with the 510.

AM335x_15x15_EVM_V1_2.gel works for the IDK.

When using the XDS510 either TMDSADPEMU-20T or TMDSADP1420 adapter will work. If using TMDSADP1420 I have the switch settings to bypass adaptive clocking such that SW1 positions 1 and 2 are ON and 3-6 are OFF.
