CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1350: Modifying debug probe selection

Michael Cress
Expert 1455 points

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1350

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello:

I have two launchpads plugged into the same computer. Within CCS, I clicked the Debug button and was presented with a dialog window prompting me to choose which probe I wished to use (probe0 or probe1). I chose probe 0, and chose poorly. Now, I wish to alter my probe setting so I can flash the correct board but I can't find the setting anywhere. Additionally, a grep of the workspace for "probe" and "robe0" didn't turn anything up. How do I alter this setting?

Thank you,

Michael

    Ok, I found the setting. For anyone else who is reading this, you can find the setting in the .ccxml file within the targetConfigs/ project folder. Open that file, click the "Source" tab, search "Enter the serial number" and you should see a block that looks like this:

    <property Type="choicelist" Value="1" id="Debug Probe Selection">
    <choice Name="Select by serial number" value="0">
    <property Type="stringfield" Value="L400A310" id="-- Enter the serial number"/>
    </choice>
    </property>

    Change the L400A310 to the serial number of your device. This can be found either by using the dialog that CCS shows you when you unplug the device and attempt to reflash, or alternatively to use the "xdsdfu" utility with the -e flag and selecting the "Serial Num" field from the output. I found the xdsdfu utility at the following path ( on Mac OS X): /Applications/ti/ccsv7/ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110

    Michael,

    It is also possible to edit or clear this value in the GUI editor.

    Here are some screen captures for any others reading.  If you have multiple LaunchPads connected (which is reasonably likely when using a SimpleLink device) you will get a dialog like this the first time you launch the debugger prompting you to select which one you want to use:

    That selection then gets stored in the .ccxml file and then used automatically from that point on.  However if you want to clear that selection it is possible to do so.  One way is to edit the ccxml file automatically.  Or you can use the ccxml file editor.  Just double click on the .ccxml in ccs.  It is usually in the targetconfigs folder in your project.

    Then click on the advanced tab at the bottom.  Select the debug probe in the tree on the left.  The properties are on the right.

    If you change to to "Only one XDS110 installed" it will prompt you to select the next time you launch the debugger.  Or if you know the serial number you can just edit it.

    Regards,

    John
