XDS100v1 and XDS100v2 Driver Problem

MarkIlg

I attempted to install the latest CCS emulation tools to 6.0.228.0 and now the XDS100v1/v2 devices are no longer detected by windows. I can manually install the drivers using "Have Disk" -> Point them to "C:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds100_drivers\ftdi" but the device is only recognizes as TI XDS100 Channel A. I cannot seem to get the device to load both channels. So far I have:

Uninstalled all TI and FTDI drivers. Through windows control panel and through pnputil.exe

Reinstalled FTDI drivers from FTDI's website.

Reinstalled the emulation package.

Manually install the drivers through DPInst64.exe /SA /PATH "C:\ti\ccsv6/ccs_base/emulation/windows/xds100_drivers/ftdi"

Manually remove c:\windows\system32 > FTID dlls.

Reinstall all again.

And yet still windows does not automatically find the drivers.

I have also used FTProg to reinstall the firmware on the FTDI chips in the eval kits. Still to no avail.

I am using with the Concerto F28M36x Control Card and the F28335 Control Card on the Docking Station.

These evaluation kits work fine on another computer without issue.

Hi,

Interesting; I don't think there were updates to the OS-level FTDI drivers recently and you seem to have covered most of the details already.

Have you ever used OpenOCD that required installing libFTDI? Perhaps Windows is getting confused by the mix and match of libraries - I remember having this issue in the past, where a nifty utility called Zadig helped me with the constant switch of drivers. The usual "symptom" is the presence of the following entry on Control Panel:

If you don't want to use the utility, simply right-click on the "Texas Instruments Inc.XDS100 Ver 2.0" and select "Update Driver Software". Then, click on "Browse my computer for driver software" and select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Then they must select the entry that starts with TI XDS100 as shown below:

Other usual suspects are:

- other FTDI-based devices plugged to the PC; unlikely as it would be pretty obvious to identify these in the Control Panel.

- wrongly programmed FTDI devices of your development boards; highly unlikely due to the fact the board works on a different PC.

Apart from this I am not entirely sure what may be happening with this particular PC, but I will reply back if I get any additional ideas.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Solved the problem. It turns out I had a corrupt usb.inf file and infcache.1 file which actually inhibited any usb device install

Hi,

Thank you for reporting back the solution to this issue. It may certainly help other developers in the future.
