LAUNCHXL-F280049C: CSS scripting doesnt work on CCS 20.4.1

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280049C

Hi

I am trying to create a debug enviornment using scripting as specified in https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_debug-scripting.html

I always endup getting following issue. 

PS C:\ti\ccs2041\ccs\scripting> .\run.bat "C:\Users\surendra.nadkarni\workspace_ccstheia\sci_ex3_interrupts_fifo\read_memory.js"
[
  'Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0/C28xx_CPU1',
  'Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0/CLA1_0'

I am wondering what is the cause of this issue. Note that I can debug/flash the out file using CCS app. Please find the attached script file. 

const ds = initScripting();

let { cores, nonDebugCores } = ds.configure("C:\\Users\\surendra.nadkarni\\workspace_ccstheia\\sci_ex3_interrupts_fifo\\targetConfigs\\TMS320F280049C_LaunchPad.ccxml");

// Configure a 10 second timeout on all operations (by default there is no timeout)
ds.setScriptingTimeout(10000);
console.log(cores);

const session = ds.openSession('Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0/C28xx_CPU1');
session.target.connect();
console.log("Target connected. Loading program...");
session.memory.loadProgram("C:\\Users\\surendra.nadkarni\\workspace_ccstheia\\sci_ex3_interrupts_fifo\\CPU1_FLASH\\sci_ex3_interrupts_fifo.out");

console.log("Program loaded. Running target...");
session.target.run();
console.log("Target is running. Waiting for 5 seconds...");
sleep(5000); // Wait for the target to run for a bit before reading memory
console.log("Target is running. Reading memory...");
const symbolAddr = 0x0000a94a;
console.log(`Symbol address: ${symbolAddr}`);


// Example: Read 16 bytes from address 0x00000000
const address = symbolAddr;
const dslocation = address.toString(16) + "@DATA";
const length = 255;
const data = session.memory.read(dslocation, length, 16);
for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    console.log(`0x${(address + i).toString(16)}: 0x${data[i].toString(16).padStart(2, '0')}`);
}
console.log(`Data read from 0x${address.toString(16)}:`, data);
session.target.disconnect()
ds.shutdown();

Second question, is there a possibility to run a GDB server using CCS tools?
