TMS320C5535: TMS320C5535

Part Number: TMS320C5535

Hi,

We rectified the boards and are now on CCSV6 too. We did a test connection. We are getting same error of cable break and then if we try to download the code and select debug in CCS, it gives the following error.

Is there a configuration problem? How do I figure that out? Is there a gel file for C5535 which I can use? Or its entirely hardware problem?

Please guide.

First
Error connecting to the target:
(Error -183 @ 0x0)
The controller has detected a cable break far-from itself.
The user must connect the cable/pod to the target.
(Emulation package 6.0.407.3)

Second
Error connecting to the target:
(Error -1041 @ 0xFFFFFF49)
The debug probe reported an error. Confirm debug probe configuration and connections, reset the debug probe, and retry the operation.
(Emulation package 6.0.407.3)

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe_0]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

[Result]

The link from controller to target is direct (without cable).
The software is configured for FTDI FT2232 features.
The controller cannot monitor the value on the EMU[0] pin.
The controller cannot monitor the value on the EMU[1] pin.
The controller cannot control the timing on output pins.

-----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

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

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

  • Hi Sangeeta Gunwani,

    The error number -183 means - No target board connected to emulator after JTAG cable according to Emulator troubleshooting user's guide
    www.blackhawk-dsp.com/.../BH-Troubleshooting-UG-03.pdf
    The full description of this error code is:
    The target header from the emulator pod is not connected or is improperly connected to a target board. The cable pod is not connected or is improperly connected at the back of the PC. Verify that cable is connected and that the pod connector’s screws are tightened into the emulator. On some PENTEK boards, the target emulation header uses the Target Disconnect pin of the XDS100/XDS560. Verify that pin 4 of the target board emulation header is grounded. If not, then add a wire-wrap wire from pin 4 to pin 8 of the target emulation header.

  • Hi Tsvetolin Shulev,

    The problem is resolved! Thanks for the observation. We connected the TDIS as per your instruction and we didnt get the cable break error. Thankyou so much.

    We have moved on to next step. We were able to load and run the code on the custom board but there is one issue.

    We were not able to compile code with C5535.cmd file. Now we have removed it from the build.

    When I add it to the build it gives me the following error

    "../C5535.cmd", line 69: error #10099-D: program will not fit into available
    memory. placement with alignment/blocking fails for section ".text" size
    0x558f page 0. Available memory ranges:
    DARAM1 size: 0x2000 unused: 0x2000 max hole: 0x2000

    Please suggest

    Thanks and Regards,
