CCS/TMDSEMU110-U: Can't get TMDSEMU110-U to work with any usb hub

Part Number: TMDSEMU110-U

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I'm configuring a new target, and when I test it, it only works when I direct connect the device.

I have three different hubs and none of them worked.

F280049 and XDS110 (TMDSEMU110-U).

Here are the outputs:

Using hub usb

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity

Cable length doesn't seems to be a problem.

It's really difficult to use it without a hub since I only have two ports. I appreciate any suggestions.


Another odd behavior is that serial number is filled with zeros.

  • Hi,

    I am not sure why the USB Hub is failing but, given the wide variety of hub chipsets and models, I would suggest trying a different unit to see if the issue is intrinsic to your unit. 

    Also, check if your HUB is powered - despite the XDS110 does not use much power, it may have trouble if other peripherals are attached as well. 

    I have a USB2.0 Belkin Hub and an USB3.0 Inland Hub that I used to connect various boards and the standalone XDS110 - both of them are powered, but unfortunately locked on my office due to the quarantine (otherwise I would provide the models and chipsets here for your reference). 

    The XDS110 unit not having the serial number is not relevant to the ability to connect. If you want, you can try to write the serial number by following the procedure shown at the XDS110 page at:

    Hope this helps,

  • Thanks for your reply .

    Here are the models that I tried.

    Bus 002 Device 119: ID 0a05:7211 Unknown Manufacturer hub -> Model 1
    Bus 002 Device 119: ID 0a05:7211 Unknown Manufacturer hub -> Model 2
    Bus 002 Device 122: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub -> Model 3

    After your suggestion, I tried again all my previous test.

    I got it working with and external power source and the model bellow.

    Bus 002 Device 122: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub

    It is really difficult to know the chipset when you buy a HUB, and I need to buy another one.

    Any suggestion?

  • Hi,

    The chipset of your Hub is manufactured by Genesys Logic but you are right: it is very difficult to find which Hub comes with what chipset. 

    What I would try is get a powered Hub from a reputable brand and see if they accept exchanges or returns in case it does not work for you. Here in the US brands such as Anker, Belkin or Trendnet usually have a reasonable reputation but, since nowadays the brands change their designs very quickly, I wouldn't be able to make a solid recommendation. Sorry.

    Regards,
