Cannot connect to a TMS320C6747 DSP from CCS v3.3 using a Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Plus Emulator

We are not able to connect to a C6747 DSP through a Spectrum Digital XDS510USB Plus emulator using CCS v3.3.  The same development environment does connect to the board if we use a Spectrum Digital XDS560R emulator. 

Working with Spectrum Digital over the past day, we have been able to prove that the problem is in Code Composer Studio.  We used the SDConfig tool to test the link from the PC through the XDS510 USB Plus emulator to the chip on the board.  That test was successful showing that the emulator does in fact work with our hardware.

The setup of CCS is:

EVMC6747_XDS510USB 

Version 3.3.82.13

Integrated Development: 5.98.0.393

BIOS: 5.33.06

Code Generation Tools: 6.1.9

XDC: 3.10.05.61

 

When we try to Connect to the board from CCS we get the following messages.

Error:

Error 0xE0002024/-173

Error during: Register, Execution, Control,

Error generated by SD scan controller Module

 

Then we get the following error message

 

Error connecting to the target:

Error 0x80002240/-1041

Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control,

Device driver: Problem with the Emulation Controller.

It is recommended to RESET EMULATOR.  This will disconnect each target from the emulator.  The targets should then be power cycled or hard reset followed by an emureset and reconnect to each target.

 

Please advise as to what files need to be changed with CCS to get this working.  Thank you.

  • Hi Mike,

    Are you using the C6747 starter kit from Spectrum Digital or are you trying to connect to the C6747 on a custom board?

    Thanks

  • The C6747 is on a custom board. 

    Spectrum Digital has come to the rescue and helped us find a reset issue with the DSP on the board so this post can be closed.  What was weird was that their SDConfig tool was able to connect and talk to the DSP without issues while CCS wasn't able to perform to the same standard.  That made us think that it was a problem with CCS.  It was great that we were able to talk to Spectrum Digital on the phone so that we didn't have to waste a lot of time.

    Thanks,

    Mike

  • Thanks for the update. Glad to see you are up and running. The SDConfig tool can do some tests to verify JTAG scan chain integrity but a CCS debug session has other dependencies also to be able to successfully communicate to the target for debug. Most of it is CCS dependent as you said, but some of it is also target HW related (board boot modes, etc).

    Thanks
