can't "Connect Target" for TMS320F2810 target, in CCS V5.1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2810

Hello,

I have a TMS320F2810 target, that I've ported our CCS V 3.3 project over to CCS V5.1.  I'm having a lot of trouble connecting to the target, using CCS V5.1  It sees the USB emulator, as shown in the next 2 images. 

Here is my Target Configuration

But when I go under the debug menu, it won't allow a connect (grayed out): 

I know a connect is possible, because sometimes after trying a variety of commands, and sequences, a connect finally occurs.  But it's rare, and uncertain what that required.  I can't find a consistent sequence of steps to accomplish it.

Note that this target has CSM password protection, but that should only effect erase/download, not the initial connect.  Also, this project and target could connect always, under CCS 3.3, and using the same emulator.

Please advise,

Robert
