Error connecting to the target: (Error -1170 @ 0x0) xds100v2

Hi, I am using the XDS100v2 with CCS 5.5, and when I try to debug I get this issue:

Error connecting to the target:

(Error -1170 @ 0x0)
Unable to access the DAP. Reset the device, and retry the operation. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle the board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK).
(Emulation package 0.0.0.0)

I am using a RM48 HDK, and have tried multiple boards with the same results. I have also reinstalled CCS. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Thanks,

Westin

  • Hi Westin,

    Here's a similar thread: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/p/286125/1008158.aspx

    Hope you find something useful.

  • Gautam,

    I am currently unable to try that out, as I not have other issues. I tried uninstalling CCS and the other associated software and reinstalling it all. During the CCS 5.5 installation I get a popup saying "XDS100 Driver Installation Failed". It finished the installation, but now when I try to debug, it says this.

    Error connecting to the target:
    (Error -151 @ 0x0)
    One of the FTDI driver functions used during
    the connect returned bad status or an error.
    The cause may one or more of: invalid emulator serial number,
    blank emulator EEPROM, missing FTDI drivers, faulty USB cable.
    Use the xds100serial command-line utility in the 'common/uscif'
    folder to verify the emulator can be located.
    (Emulation package 5.1.232.0)

    When I look at the device manager, I see "Texas Instruments Inc.XDS100 Ver 2.0" twice under "Other devices" with the yellow warning thing on the icon. It seems like I need drivers or something for the xds100. 

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Westin

  • I have tried what was said here, and it did not help.

  • I am going to make a new post for this specific problem with the xds100v2 so the topic is more relevant, and I may come back to this if I am still having issues after it is installed correctly.

  • Hi,

    Per your description it seems you are unable to see what is shown in the troubleshooting section of the XDS100 page, right? If so, can you navigate to the directory below for the XDS100 drivers?

    <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds100_drivers\ftdi

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • That is correct. In order to avoid these issues, I am having my computer reformatted. I think something was corrupted in the install. While I was uninstalling CCS the first time, the uninstaller locked up and was unable to finish, and I think this may have stemmed from that. I will install CCS on the clean computer, and then see where we are. Thanks for the replies.
