CCS/IWR6843AOP: Cannot use XDS110 to debug on IWR6843AOP ES2.0 device

Part Number: IWR6843AOP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, AWR1642, , MMWAVEICBOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Using CCS10, I can debug code on an AWR1642 and also on an IWR6843 ODS with the MMWICBOOST board by first programming the debug binaries.  I recently received am IWR6843AOP ES2.0 device, but cannot get debug to work on it.

I have programmed the debug file from SDK 3.4.0.3 in \packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug\xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin into the board.  This file works on the ODS module.  But when I try to connect to the target from CCS, I get:

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 9.2.0.00002)

I have also tried to see if the firmware update tool works (I used it to downgrade the XDS110 firmware on another board, so I know the software works)

c:\ti\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds110>xdsdfu -m

The requested device was not found on the bus.

Thank you.

    Hi Stefan,

    It appears that you are trying to use the AOP EVM with CCS by itself, without mounting it on an MMWAVEICBOOST carrier card. Please note that MMWAVEICBOOST provides the XDS110 JTAG emulator, which is needed for CCS based development. This is also mentioned in the hardware requirements section of the corresponding demos in Industrial Tooolbox. 

    You can follow the instructions provided on this page:

    Using CCS Debug for Development.

    From the same page:

    Thank you, Nitin, this works.


    With the MMWICBOOST and the ODS antenna, I am able to use the same COM port that uses the UART to also communicate with the device CLI.  With the AOPEVM, I have to plug the UART USB cable into the AOPEVM itself.  I tried changing S1.1 to change this, but it did not work.  How can I do that?  The ES1.0 EVM is still the one in the documentation, but I assume it is the same for ES2.0.

    The reason I ask is that I seem to get more ghosts/reflection detections with the AOPEVM plugged into the MMWICBOOST card.  Maybe the extra cable hanging there has an effect on this.
