XDS510USB PLUS lack of connection with CCSv3.3 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system

I've been using a xds510usb plus emulator in a motor control application to link Code Composer v3.3 to a target with a TI F28335 chip. I used this setup along with Matlab/Simulink's Embedded Coder on a 32-bit Windows 7 cpu. Everything worked well.

Now, I'd like to transition to a 64-bit computer. I have CCSv3.3 running on this new machine, but I haven't been able to connect to the Spectrum Digital emulator through CCSv3.3.

I can use the SDconfig program to talk with the emulator, and everything looks fine there, but I'm not able to see the driver in the CCS Setup application. I expect to see "xds510usb emulator" under the platform dropdown menu in CCS setup, but I don't see it. Does anyone know what might be the issue here?

Below is the error that is thrown by CCSv3.3:

Error connecting to the target: Error 0x80000240/-141 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, This error was generated by TI's USCIF driver.

SC_ERR_KNL_OPEN <-141> This utility has failed to open its kernel mode driver. Either it has been disabled or an install/un-install failed.

I/O Port = 510

Board Name: F28335 XDS510 Emulator Cpu Name: CPU_1

Abort:  Close Code Composer Studio. Retry:  Try to connect to the target again. Cancel:  Remain disconnected from the target Diagnostic: Run diagnostic utility.

  • Hi,

    Are you still having issue with this? Unfortunately this combination of software is unsupported, but I saw you posted some comments to the CCSv3.3 / Win7 thread, which is the best reference for this.

    Regards,

    Rafael

  • I solved this issue. I understand that the software is unsupported in this environment, but I saw that others had success in getting it to work, and I wanted to employ it too. You are right that I did post my answer in the other thread. Here it is again for easy reference for others:

    Followup to the previous posts about using SD XDS510USB Plus with CCSv3.3 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine:

    When I downloaded the files to Spectrum Digital, they were installed in a different folder than the CCS version. So, I had to create a board in CCS setup using this information (and searching through the SD folder that was downloaded with the driver sdgo28xusb.dvr):

    Board setup –

    1)      Connection type Other 510-Class emulator

    2)      Diagnostics Utility: None

    3)      Emulator Filename: xds510.dll

    4)      Emulator I/O Port: 0x510

    CPU Setup (TMS320C28xx_0) –

    1)      Device Type: CPU

    2)      GEL File: C:\ti\cc\gel\f28335.gel

    3)      Master/Slave: N/A

    4)      Startup Mode: Stop-mode
