CCSv3.3 & XDS100

Bill Shaw

I'm migrating from my prototype DSK environment to a production environment,  trying to get CCSv3.3 working with a Blackhawk xds100v2d emulator on my custom board.  I purchased CCSv3.3 C2000 but am having trouble getting it configured. 

I run CCS setup then following the instructions in CCS Setup Help for a Custom Setup... 

1.    Select the My System icon in the System Configuration pane.  - OK so far.

2.    In the Available Factory Boards pane, select a target board or simulator that represents your system and click Add to move it to your system list. - There is nothing in that pane that represents my setup.

I am using a F28235 in my project.  That is not an option in the Available Factory Boards pane although this is the C2000 version.  I am using an XDS100v2 emulator from Blackhawk.  There is no option for XDS100 in the Available Factory Boards pane,  just xds501, xds560, or simulator.  I cannot configure a custom board setup.

The xds100 shows up properly in Device Manager/USB Controllers,  so that seems OK.

 

Anyone have success working with a setup like this?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

    XDS100v2 is not supported on CCSv3.3. You need CCSv4 and higher.

    Since you just purchased v3.3 for C2000, you are eligible for a free upgrade to a CCSv4 MCU license. Contact ccs_license_file_help@list.ti.com to get your license moved over.

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

     

    Thanks for the quick response.  I was eligible for a CCSv4 license when I first bought the XDS100 and  I took advantage of it.  That is WHY I bought V3.3.  Blackhawk explicitly states that their XDSv2 works with CCS3.3 with a firmware change,  which I have done.  The problem is that CCSv3 C2000 does not seem to support the XDS100 (any version)  or the F28235,  which is really interesting since it IS the C2000 version.

    I really need this combo to work.

    Best,

    What is the full version number of your CCS installation ('Help->About')? You would need at least version CCS 3.3.83.19 to get XDS100 and F2823x support.

    Thanks

    Actually, I think it comes supported in an earlier version than that but you still need a fairly recent version.

    The new version I'm trying to work with is 3.3.38.

    That is a very old version. You will need an updated version to get XDS100 and 2823x support. Can you start a private conversation with me so i can give you more details on how to get the updated version?

    Thanks

    OK,  I've updated to 3.3.38.19.  Now I cannot get it to flash my code,  and it will not run the frequency test in the On-Chip Programmer dialog. When I try to start the freq. test I get...

    Failure loading Flash API Interface file onto target.
    Frequency Test Operation failed
    **** End Frequency Test Operation. ***

    Any pointers to a soloution would be appreciated.

    I don't know what changed but I walked away from it for a few hours and when I returned it passed the freq test,  then flashed and ran as it should.  Looks like I'm up and running.

     

    Thanks again for your assistance.
