C55xx: Error initializing emulator

Kfir Gollan

Hello,
I recently got my hands on a TMX320C5515 eZDSP v2 USB stick.
I'm running a windows 7 PC.
I installed CCS  Version: 6.0.1.00039 from the TI web site and connected the board to the PC via the emulation USB port. The device was identified by windows as two TI XDS100 channels. So far everything seemed good.
I wrote a simple HelloWorld program and tried to load it to the board.
When I tried to launch the application I got the following error:

C55xx: Error initializing emulator

Here is my provided ccxml file for the project

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configurations XML_version="1.2" id="configurations_0">
    <configuration XML_version="1.2" id="Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator_0">
        <instance XML_version="1.2" desc="Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator_0" href="connections/SDDSKUSB_Connection.xml" id="Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator_0" xml="SDDSKUSB_Connection.xml" xmlpath="connections"/>
        <connection XML_version="1.2" id="Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator_0">
            <instance XML_version="1.2" href="drivers/sdgo5510dsk.xml" id="drivers" xml="sdgo5510dsk.xml" xmlpath="drivers"/>
            <platform XML_version="1.2" id="platform_0">
                <instance XML_version="1.2" desc="EVM5515_0" href="boards/evm5515.xml" id="EVM5515_0" xml="evm5515.xml" xmlpath="boards"/>
            </platform>
        </connection>
    </configuration>
</configurations>
I spent a few hours googling around trying to come up with a solution but sadly I didn't find anything that helped me solved the problem.

Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kfir

    This kit has an on-board XDS100v2 emulator. So in target configuration I hope you've selected XDS100v2 and not v1 or v3.

    Hi Gautam,
    I didn't find any place in which I set the version of the XDS in the target configuration.
    The target configuration file that I'm using is provided in the original post (the ccxml file). 
    The target configuration contains a configuration for my spectrum digital evb so that is what I selected and it doesn't seem to work.

    Note that the drivers that are installed on my windows machine for the board are XDS100v2 (located in c:\ti\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds2xx_drivers\)

    P.S
    Is there a way to get a more detailed error message from CCS to know better what is going on?

    Thanks in advance,
    Kfir

    Ok, so it took me a while to get this done but eventually it was exactly what Gautam said.
    If you have the same problem with the board I was talking about you need to change the connection type to Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Emulator (using the SpectrumDigital ones doesn't seem to work).

    I hope that this will useful for someone someday :)

    P.S
    The following link might help with more details
