CCS/TMS320F28335: Test connection using CAN?

Part Number: TMS320F28335

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

is is possible to test connection to the controller using CAN?

When I do it now I get following message using CCS 5.5.0:

-----[Print the reset-command software log-file]-----------------------------

This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
This utility will load the adapter 'jioserdesusb.dll'.

An error occurred while soft opening the controller.

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

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

The value is '-151' (0xffffff69).
The title is 'SC_ERR_FTDI_OPEN'.

The explanation is:
One of the FTDI driver functions used during
the connect returned bad status or an error.
The cause may one or more of: invalid emulator serial number,
blank emulator EEPROM, missing FTDI drivers, faulty USB cable.
Use the xds100serial command-line utility in the 'common/uscif'
folder to verify the emulator can be located.

[End]

Can I somehow change serial to CAN and check (i.e. 'ping') control card? I want to check that there is no problem in connection. I already have CAN transitive and CAN to USB adapter. Can signals somehow be traced from PC to Experimental Kit? Unfortunately I am not able to load so I cannot do the other way around (i.e. tracing from Kit to PC).

If I try to 'Build Project' CAN_TXLOOP_A using CCS 6.2.0 I get Errors and Warning, e.g.:

subdir_rules.mk:21: recipe for target 'DSP2833x_DefaultIsr.obj' failed
process_begin: CreateProcess(C:\Users\Igor\AppData\Local\Temp\make7828-3.bat, C:\Users\Igor\AppData\Local\Temp\make7828-3.bat, ...) failed.
make (e=5): Access is denied.

Maybe if I load CAN_TXLOOP_A using serial connection and then start CAN transmit and trace signal?!

I apologise for multiple questions in the same post, but trying to explore all options.

Regards
