OMAP-L138 connection problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, CODECOMPOSER, OMAPL138

I have several OMAP-L138 boards that I'm setting up for a university lab. The boards have issues getting a solid connection with the SOM modules. When I can manage a good connection (indicated by the power LED lighting up), CodeComposer's USB (TI XDS100v1) JTAG integrity test fails. I've attached its output.

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag.exe -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

Can anyone help with this?

  • Hi,

    It seems you are using the built-in XDS100 JTAG emulator, is that so? If so, the JTAG integrity reports that a data line is stuck at zeros (shorted to ground), therefore I would carefully inspect the faulty boards for any problems between the SOM and the board itself, as well as probe the JTAG connection and compare it with a working board. 

    If you are using an external JTAG emulator, check carefully if it is a XDS100v1 or XDS100v2 (the most probable as the v1 is discontinued).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

     

  • Alright, I will make sure of the XDS100 version. As for the connection between the board and the SOM, I know it's very finicky. Are the SOMs supposed to very loose? No matter how tight I squeeze them on (without risk of damaging the board), they just lift right off.

    Anyway, I'll have news when I go back in to work on Monday morning. Thank you for your reply.

  • Hi,

    Actually, they are very fit and tight. When I put the SOM module I had to be sure the connectors were properly aligned and I was very afraid to smash the whole thing (it is THAT tight).

    Obviously that I am referring to the board I have, which is LogicPD's Zoom OMAPL138 eXperimenter kit.

    Regards,

    Rafael

  • You were right; after squeezing the board hard enough (very hard) the chip actually locked into place with an audible snap. I didn't realize it would. And the XDS100v2 setting in CCS works in the JTAG scan, thank you.

    Do you happen to know where I can find documents detailing what ports on the OMAP-L138 that things like the user LEDs and the DIP switches are connected to? Or rather how I would use them from C? I've looked all around the TI and LogicPD sites, but can't find any information like that. The boards themselves didn't include any technical information.

    Thank you again,

  • Rudy,

    The LogicPD's page I sent before contains a link to Documentation & Downloads page. You can download the EVM's User's Guide that shows how to get and install the Board Support Library (BSL) Sample Programs (chapter 6).

    If you registered at the LogicPD website (check the link login at the top of LogicPD's page) you will be able to register your OMAPL138 boards and also download the BSL package itself.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • Thank you, the example projects they have should get me going.
