CCS/TMDSSOLARPEXPKIT: Missing Connection for Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator in CCS v7 to connect to Solar Explorer Kit.

Part Number: TMDSSOLARPEXPKIT

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I've got recetly got the kit TMDS SOLAR PEX KIT, and hence downloaded the latest version of CCS, which is v7.

The documentation that refers to this kit says to connect to it using the Connection 'Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator' however in the CCS v7 software, i only have TI XXX Debug Probes available?

How do i get this USB Emulator driver to install and appear in the selection list?

I've tried some of the other options, but i get no connection errors when trying to connect and download the complied code.

Note the documention that refers to this kit, refers to CCS v4. 

Mike.

    Mike,

    "Debug Probe" = "Emulator"

    For the connection select "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe". We stopped using the term emulator a couple years ago as it was mainly a TI thing and users new to TI would get confused on the meaning.

    I bet you tried that but hit an error when trying to connect. I don't have one of these kits but looking at the picture I see that the F28035 controlCARD (dimm like card) has a USB connector on it. That makes me think that the XDS100 is on that card. Try connecting that USB cable. However is the controlCARD doesn't have a USB connector on it then the XDS100 would be on the main board near an FTDI chip.

    Regards,
    John

    Thanks John, I worked out the problem eventually, it was a missing jumper on the JTAG Macro section. Can now connect and download. No i just need to work out how to make this kit light up the bulb.
