XDS100v1 Emulator not present in target configuration.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hello, I am using TI Launchpad C2000 TMS28069M and want to use MATLAB to program the board. I am using CCS v6 and when doing a target configuration from CCS, I do not see any emulators from the drop down menu. The tutorials I follow online all set this parameter to XDS100v1 USB Emulator but all I see is debug probes. What may cause this problem?

  • Hi,

    This is due to while installing CCS you need to select the spectrum digital drivers. I guess you missed this step and hence you're unable see it in the option.

  • Thanks for the answer. I did a clean install, this time I tried CCS v5.5 and now I am able to see the XDS100v1/v2 emulator options. However when I select that and launch the configuration I get a bunch of errors, I believe the board fails to connect as well. Apart from controlSuite and CSS is there anything I need to install? Any suggestions?

  • I'm not familiar with the above errors. Either post these errors on matlab forums or be patient until you get a reply to this thread.

    Goodluck & Regards,

    Starting with a specific version of CCS (I think 6.1.0), the name for JTAG debuggers was changed from the traditional but inaccurate word Emulator to the better suited word debug probe. This has no functional effect other than aesthetical, therefore a XDS100v1 USB Emulator is functionally identical to a XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe.

    Regarding the other errors, unfortunately I don't have a recent copy of Matlab to help you, but I suspect there may be some incompatibility between your project and the older CCSv5.5 you just installed. Mathworks may be able to provide additional help.

    In this case, my suggestion is to erase the existing CCSv5.5 install (check item 2 of this wiki topic) and reinstall the CCS release that is compatible with the Matlab version you are using (their documentation should mention it). When running the new release, make sure you select a new workspace to avoid any possible issues created by the older version of CCS.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
