Simultaneously connect two TM4C123GXL Launchpads to one instance of CCS v6?

Robert Samuel

I would like to simultaneously have two, or possibly more, TM4C123GXL Launchpads connected to one instance of CCS v6. I intend to work on each Launchpad individually, each running different and unrelated code.

When both are simultaneously connected to USB ports on my PC I can see them in them Device Manager; each has its own related “Stellaris ICDI DFU Device” and “Stellaris ICDI JTAG/SWD Interface”, and com port assigned. They function in CCS v6 individually when only one of them is connected.

My question: Is there a method to switch between them from within one instance of CCS v6?

Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

The problem is that the CCS target configuration for the Stellaris ICDI debug probe on the TM4C123GXL Launchpads doesn't allow the Stellaris ICDI instance to be specified by serial number, and so if there is more than Stellaris ICDI connected there is no way to tell CCS which one to use.

At the end of the Multiple target debugging: CCS5 and Stellaris ICDI (Eval Boards) thread someone suggested that a work-around is to use the USBDeview program to selectively enable/disable USB devices.

[I haven't tested this myself]
