CCS/CC2640: Initialization error while emulating CC2640

Part Number: CC2640

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I'm new with ccs and emulations in general. I would like to create an emulation framework for CC2640 (possibly using XDS200).

My ccs version is  6.2.0.00050 on Windows10 64.

I tried to download the emupack from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS_Emulation_Software_Packageand I checked for updates using the ccs utility but I sill having two problems.

1) when I create a new target configuration there is no emulators for XDS200.

2) then I tried with another connection type (namely "Spectrum Digital XDSPRO USB Emulator"), i linked the .ccxml file to one of my project but when I click the debug button ccs always reports the following error:

Error initializing emulator:
(Error -2083 @ 0x0)
Unable to communicate with the debug probe. Confirm debug probe configuration and connections, reset the debug probe, and retry the operation.
(Emulation package 7.0.100.1)

Any idea??

Regards, Gabriele.

    What other options do you see beside the Spectrum Digital option? Do you see any options for XDS100/XDS110? Anything that starts with "Texas Instruments XDS"?

    This is for the Pro Trace pod which would not apply to an XDS200.

    I see you mentioned "possibly using XDS200". Do you have an actual XDS200 pod to try?

    Thanks

    Yes, I see XDS100[v1,v2,v3] and XDS110, but none of them is an "emulator"... I see emulators only for "Spectrum Digital".

    Yes we have one, but we are currently using it to program a different device.

    Our new hardware (in production) will mount a CC2640 chip. For this reason we want to emulate CC2640 and do some early software development. We will program the new board with XDS200 but actually we are just looking for a working emulator setup.

    Thanks, Gabriele.

    "emulator" is the same as "debug probe". "Emulator" was the term used more often in the past. However the standard term these days is "debug probe", hence we are shift towards that. But you can use them interchangeably. 

    This is the option you need:

    It is missing in your dropdown list?

  • Dear Ki,

    I already tried to use XDS2XX from the beginning, but also this configuration reports the same error, please see below:

    Thanks in advance for your help, Gabriele.

  • That is a type of host connection error. Please see the below link for more details and suggestions:

  • Hello,
    I haven’t heard back from you, I’m assuming you were able to resolve your issue. If not, please post a reply with an update below (or create a new thread).

    thanks,

  • Hi Kim,

    we finally waited for the new hardware...

    Thank you very much and sorry for the delayed reply...
