AWR1843AOPEVM: EVM connect to CCS error

Part Number: AWR1843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843AOP, MMWAVEICBOOST, UNIFLASH, IWR1843AOP, AWR1843BOOST

Tool/software:

Hi,

I'm using AWR1843AOP EVM, and I want to use CCS to test obstacle detect example at mmWave-Toolbox and make my application.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1301358/awr1843aopevm-are-there-any-example-programs-to-study-and-can-i-use-awr1843aopevm-alone?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=awr1843aopevm%252525252520ccs%252525252520connect# 

This post said AWR1843AOP EVM can use CCS without using mmWaveICBoost board.
So, I tried to connect CCS following instruction at mmWave SDK User Guide without using ICboost.

First, I flashed xwr18xx_ccsdebug.bin at C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug by UniFlash.
Uniflash doesn't have AWR1843AOP, so I use IWR1843AOP Device to flash. 
(refer this post : https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1266355/awr1843aop-cannot-find-awr1843aop-in-uniflash-to-flash-binary)

And I follow instruction "How to connect mmWave EVM to CCS using JTAG" at SDK User Guide.

I make .ccxml file like below figure

But after I select the "Launch Selected Configuration" option, it make error below.

Error Message

Error initializing emulator:
(Error -260 @ 0x0)
An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed.
The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid
firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB
cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the
xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110
directory of your installation. View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf
file there for instructions.
(Emulation package 12.7.0.00130)

I think faluty USB cable can't be the problem, because I can use mmWave Demo visualizer and UniFlash with this cable.
And If Invalid update and Serial number are the problem, how to solve this problem?? 

And I also want to know everything I've been doing has gone right.

I will attatch my Device manager capture.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Soobin.

    Hey Soobin,

    Thanks for reaching out regarding your debugging issue here! Unfortunately, there is not an XDS110 on the AWR1843AOP, but there is an XDS110 on the AWR1843BOOST. There is no other way to debug your board through CCS without the MWAVEICBOOST in this instance.

    Regards,

    Hi Kristien,

    Thank you for your kind reply.
    Maybe that post contained the wrong information.

    You mean that not only AWR1843AOP, but also AWR1843AOP EVM doesn't have XDS110, right?

    Can I ask you one more questions to clarify my understand?

    As far as I understand the documents and some of forum posts, I still can use CCS to revise the codes and build my application bin file even if I don't use mmWaveICBoost. But I can't debug it, and if bin file makes error at the EVM, I can't know where is the problem. Is it right?

    Thanks,
    Soobin

    Yes, the AWR1843AOP chip and AWR1843AOPEVM both do not have an XDS110. These should not be confused with the AWR1843BOOST which uses an AWR1843 - i.e., no antenna on package - and has additional hardware such as the XDS110.

    Yes, CCS can still be used as an IDE to program and build applications, but without the MMWAVEICBOOST, you can't use the debugger. You can still check for compilation and linking issues but not runtime errors.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

    No problem, Soobin!

    I'll close out this thread, but feel free to open up a new thread if you have any other questions.
