Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
With CCS 8.2.0.00007 under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) was unable to use a XDS100v2 with a blank serial number, in that:
a. Attempting to start a debug session or perform a test connection failed with a 'SC_ERR_FTDI_OPEN'.
b. xds100serial reported 'No XDS100 emulators were found on the system'
Whereas CCS 8.2.0.00007 under Windows 10 PRO was able to use the XDS100v2 with a blank serial number:
a. Could start a debug session.
b. xds100serial reported the XDS100v2 and showed a blank serial number.
Once ft_prog was used under Windows to program an automatically generated serial number, the XDS100v2 was then usable with CCS under Linux.
Just reporting this again as in the original thread there was no bug report number listed.
