CCS/MSP-EXP432E401Y: An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed in linux 16.04

Part Number: MSP-EXP432E401Y


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi

I have bought installed CCS IDE in my Ubuntu mate sytem to program the MSP-EXP432E401Y launchpad. I've connected the launchpad to my computer using XDS110 port as mentioned in the data sheet. When I tried to upload an example code I got the following error.

Error connecting to the target: (Error -260 @ 0x0) An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed. The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of your installation. View the ReadMe.txt file there for instructions. (Emulation package 8.0.27.9)

I searched a little about this error and found that running the command xdsdfu -e will give the list of XDS devices that has been connected to the computer. When I tried the same which results in identification of 0 devices. I found that other people have faced the same issue but I couldn't understand how they solved the issue.

I also tried using the launchpad on a windows system(running IAR) and it works fine.

Can someone help me fix this problem.Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I am unsure what may be happening in your case, but there is a narrow possibility the firmware pre-programmed in your launchpad may be incompatible with Linux. In this case, can you retry to connect the same launchpad in a Windows host? If you still can't connect to it, then there is a possibility your launchpad is either defective or has no pre-programmed firmware.

    For details on how to program the firmware, please check the XDS110 page at:
    e2e.ti.com/.../707319

    Section 7 contains details on how to update the main firmware, while note 2 of section 8 contains details on how to program its bootloader.

    Regards,
