UniFlash cmd and script failure

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM48L952, UNIFLASH

I am able to erase and program the OC  flash of an RM48L952 with the XDS200 via UniFlash Version: 3.3.0.00053 on my Windows machine (though the connection is unreliable as mentioned here). Now I want to streamline the flash process by writing a script to do the same. I started with scriptExample_complex.js and modified it for the RM48L952 my software images as follows.

/* Import DebugServer enving and Java packages */
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.debug.engine.scripting);
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

/*
Equivalent to the command line: 
uniflash -log Custom_Flash.xml -ccxml ../configs/TMS470MF066_USB.ccxml -setOptions FlashEraseSelection="Selected Sectors Only" FlashBank0Sector0=0 FlashBank0Sector1=true -operation Erase
*/

/* Global handles to the debugger */
var env = ScriptingEnvironment.instance();
var server = env.getServer("DebugServer.1");

env.traceWrite("TEST 1\n");

// Create a log file in the current directory to log script execution
env.traceBegin("Custom_Flash.xml", "../stylesheet/DefaultStylesheet.xsl");
env.traceSetFileLevel(TraceLevel.ALL);
 
env.traceWrite("TEST 2\n");

server.setConfig("../configs/RM48L952.ccxml");
env.traceWrite("TEST 3\n");
var session = server.openSession("*","*"); // error here

env.traceWrite("TEST 4\n");

try{
	/* Unlocking device */
	env.traceWrite("\nUnlocking...");
	session.flash.performOperation("Unlock");
	env.traceWrite("Finish unlock.\n");

	/* Set Flash Options */
	env.traceWrite("Setting flash options...");
	session.flash.options.setString("FlashEraseSelection", "Entire Flash"); // Entire Flash, Selected Sectors Only, or Necessary Sectors Only
	
	env.traceWrite("\nConnecting to the device...");
	session.target.connect();
	env.traceWrite("Connected. \n");
	
	env.traceWrite("Erasing selected Flash sectors...");
	session.flash.performOperation("Erase");
	env.traceWrite("Completed.");
	
	env.traceWrite("Starting Program loads...");
	session.flash.multiloadStart();
	session.memory.loadProgram("../programs/CLV.hex");
	session.memory.loadProgram("../programs/boot.hex");
	session.memory.loadProgram("../programs/SYS.hex");
	session.flash.multiloadEnd();
	env.traceWrite("Completed.\n");
	
}
catch(err)
{
	env.traceWrite("Error encountered during script: " + err);
}

/* End session, since the tests are done
*/
server.stop();
session.terminate();
env.traceEnd();

I ran this script with the following command:

C:\ti\uniflash_3.3\ccs_base\scripting\examples\uniflash\scripting>..\..\..\bin\d
ss.bat Custom_Flash.js


This is the output:

TEST 1

At the error message's recommendation, I reset the probe and tried again. The error persisted. I thought, maybe I could learn something by running UniFlash from CMD. I got the same error. With the knowledge that the program itself works (sometimes), what might be the problem with flashing via cmd and script?

Thanks,

Ryan
