CCSv5.3 "Error Initializing Emulator" for Spectrum Digital F28335 eZdsp (using onboard emulation)

Hello all,

    I have an issue: After the guys at Spectrum Digital tested my board (had no issues on their CCS installation) it was returned to me and now I am experiencing the same issues as before - "Error Initializing Emulator". I've seen a few posts regarding this but this issue does not seem to have been resolved in those posts so I figured I'd make a fresh one just in case anyone has recently gotten past this. So in summary, when attempting to run an example on my F28335 EZ-DSP, I receive an error which reads "Error initializing emulator". 

1) I am using the onboard emulator.

2) The USB port works fine since I tested my DSK6713 board which initialized and was able to run a program.

3)I've set the target configuration to "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator" connection and chose the "EZDSPF28335" device.

Does anyone know how solve this issue? I don't think I should send the board back since it was verified that it works on "their" system which uses the same CCS version.

    While this may not be the issue you are encountering, I have seen this specific error come up when I have a mismatch of the emulator hardware and the actual target configuration that was launched.  On my system, I have a number of target configuration files created for various boards in a shared location.  I need to be careful to launch the appropriate configuration.  Sometimes when just hitting the "debug" button, it picks up the wrong target configuration.

    Thanks for the response Brandon. The problem actually is (I suppose) that I am using the wrong mini-USB cable! I did a continuity test on the pins of the mini-B port and the data pins are shorted meaning the cable is for charging only. This explains why the board isn't even getting recognized. I will run down and pick up a data transfer mini-USB cable and I think the problem will be solved.
