CCS/CC1310: Error -242 @ 0x0 : A router subpath could not be accessed.

Hi,

I have built a custom board based on the cc1310 reference design. I'm using the CC1310 launchpad to program and debug my board. Whenever I launch a debug session I get this error

IcePick_C: Error connecting to the target: (Error -242 @ 0x0) A router subpath could not be accessed. The board configuration file is probably incorrect. (Emulation package 8.0.903.2)

I found this page http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccsv7_debugging_jtag_connectivity_issues.html#a-router-subpath-cannot-be-accessed which talks about the issue. But following the instructions I was able to work around the problem by directly connecting to the DAP (as shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yGmq_VKvTQ&feature=youtu.be. But I have to perform a physical reset using the reset button on the launchpad before connecting to the DAP. If I don't perform the physical reset I get the same error.

I was wondering why the reset is required. I never needed to manually reset the CC1310 chip onboard the launchpad. But my custom board doesn't work without the physical reset. Could you please help?

Just so I understand correctly, you are using the XDS110 on your CC1310 launchpad to debug your custom CC1310 board?

Thanks

Yes, I'm using the XDS110 on the CC1310 launchpad.

I realized that the post composer ate some of my text when I posted the question. I've updated the post with the missing information. Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for the clarification. I will bring this to the attention of my colleague, who is more knowledgeable regarding these types of emulation issues.

Hi,

The fact the Debug Probe is not reseting the device may be due to either a build (PCB routing) or a connection issue (the reset line is failing or not connected). Can you double-check the connections and the directives shown at the section "Target Connection Design" --> "Single device non-buffered configuration" of the reference below?

Also, a few other posts cover some troubleshooting details that may be useful for your scenario as well.

At last, if you have a photograph of your setup with the connections, that could help get to the bottom of this.

Hope this helps,
Rafael
