CCSv4 Fatal Error encountered

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

 

I see the following error when I try to connect to the ARM in the OMAP3530 via the Spectrum Digital XDS510 Plus USB emulator pod:

Cortex_A8_0: Trouble Reading Register ETM_ID: Error 0x80002004/-1203 Fatal Error during: Register, Control,The DAP access, address 0x000001E4, has returned a SLAVE error. 

 

The OMAP3530 is located on the Mistral board and I'm using CCS version 4.1.2 with BIOS version 5.41.04.18 running on a PC with XP.  If I hit "cancel" I can get through the connect process and ultimately connect to the DSP which is the goal.  So my questions are the following:

1) Why do I see this error?

2) What does it mean?

3) How can avoid this error when I connect to the target?

Thanks,

Len 

 

  • Len,

    Essentially, what this message is saying (I think) is that when CCS tries to connect to the device, it's doing a scan to identify the revision of the Embedded Trace Module on the ARM (ETM).  For some reason, it's not getting back a value. 

    The question of why you are seeing it is a bit trickier.  It could be, potentially, that the CCS XML file for 3530 has an incorrect value.  It could be something with the emulator.  The fact that the "Fatal" error is not fatal to you is likely because yua re not trying to use the ETM capabilities. 

    I would suggest , initially, asking SD to confirm this.  They can verify exactly what the error message means, and when it is generated.
