CCS/TM4C1294NCPDT: Linux: Cannot flash bootloader to XDS110 using xdsdfu

Part Number: TM4C1294NCPDT

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to load a new bootloader onto an XDS110 device using xdsdfu -b boot_loader.bin -r, however the program seems to exit prematurely.

user@host:~/ti/ccsv7/ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110$ ./xdsdfu -b boot_loader.bin -r

Replacing the bootloader may render the XDS110 unusable. Do you want to continue (Y/N) ? user@host:~/ti/ccsv7/ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110$


As you can see, before I input Y to continue flashing the bootloader, the program exits to the shell. I have used this method on Windows 7 before without an issue. The xds110 device enumerates correctly when I run xdsdfu -e.

  • Hi,

    Is there a strong reason as to why you want to re-flash the bootloader? In general the firmware is the component that changes the most.  

    That said, there is an outstanding issue with the xdsdfu on Linux and macOS. This is being fixed as we speak and will be available in the next release of the TI Emulators component of CCS (perhaps on March or April).

    At this moment there is no workaround other than updating your Debug Probe in a Windows environment. Sorry.

    I apologize for the inconvenience,
    Rafael
