Hi, everyone. The version of my CCS is 5.2.1 and my board is EVMDM8168. I start the CCS following the DM816X AM389X PSP Flash Tools Guide

  • Make sure the Boot Mode / Configuration Select Switch is set for the respective boot mode
  • Connect the XDS560 emulator to the DM816x EVM
  • Start CCSv5 by navigating to 'Start' menu in Windows XP
  • Select "View -> Target Configurations"
  • In the "Target Configurations" tab select "New Target Configuration File" button (in the top left corner)
  • Name the file (eg. ti816x_usb.ccxml)
  • Connection = SEED XDS560PLUS  Emulator
  • Board or Device = TI816x or Board or Device = EVMDM8168
  •  Save configuration
  • From next run, the project and target configuration will be readily available and can be skipped
  •  Select "Debug Perspective" in CCS if not there already: "Window -> Open Perspective -> Debug"
  •  Select "View" -> "Target Configurations"
  •  Expand "User Defined" configuration tree, Right click on the newly created target configuration and select"Launch Selected Configuration"

But the CCS stop there. what's wrong?

    Hi,

    What does your "Test Connection" tab result say? Can you paste the results?

    Regards,

    The color of the button "Test Connection " is gray, and I can't use it to test the connection. I don't know what the matter is.

    That's strange. I'll forward your post to my TI buddy to help you out.

    Hi,

    Whenever I have debug problems, I usually follow the sections General IDE and Debugger of the Troubleshooting page at:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv5

    Unfortunately I don't have a SEED emulator and therefore can't test the same configuration as you to validate all this, therefore I will have to ask you to contact their support and check what may be happening in this case.

    The same can be said for the Test Connection button: this is a feature that is usually enabled by the emulator manufacturer when they create their support package. In other words, to enable this they must add a property similar to the one below (obviously adapting to their own utility) to their XML connection file (typically installed under C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\common\targetdb\connections

    <property Name="Diagnostic Command" Type="hiddenfield" Value="%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag.exe -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity" ID="DiagnosticCommand"/>

    Regards,
