CCS/CC2640R2F: Flash fails when debugging

Luzian Hug

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, when I try to debug my custom CC2640R2F Board normally, I get the following error:

Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Board Reset Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: Target timed out! (Block 1)
Cortex_M3_0:   Status 0xFFFFFFFF: Target flashloader has not returned any status. Unknown error!
Cortex_M3_0: Erasing all unprotected pages failed! Timed out waiting for target flashloader to complete command
Cortex_M3_0: File Loader: Memory write failed: Erasing all unprotected pages failed! Timed out waiting for target flashloader to complete command
Cortex_M3_0: GEL: File: C:\Users\XXX\workspace_v8\XXX\FlashROM_StackLibrary\XXX.out: Load failed.

When I perform a Forced Mass Erase in Flash Programmer 2, I can debug normally again one time. When I want to debug another time, the error happens again and I have to force mass erase again.
My debug probe: XDS110
CCS version: 8.3.0
Simplelink SDK 2.40.00.32
XDCTools 3.51.01.18

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Yesterday everything worked fine, and I hadn't changed anything major in the code this morning when the error first occurred.

Thank you for your help!

Hello,
Can you try the "MassErase" option from CCS (under the "Scripts" menu)?

Thanks

Hello, thanks for the reply.

I don't get this option under scripts, it only says No scripts available.

Are you using the default configuration fro CC2640r2? It should use the default GEL file for it, which adds the MassErase option:

Thanks

I have it selected here:

But I don't get the option you mentioned:

Regards

EDIT: I now managed to get the option by doing a mass erase with Flash Programmer 2 and flashing the firmware again. I tried it but it didn't help.

You are not in an active debug session. You must be in one for the Scripts menu to get populated.

Hi Luzian,

Are you using a custom CC2640R2F board or CC2640R2F Launchpad? I do not encounter this problem using CC2640R2F Launchpad.

Yes, I found the option now, thanks. Didn't help my issue though...

I see. Please reproduce the issue, except with debug server logging enabled. Then zip the log and attach it to this thread:

Thank you for the log. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find anything unusual in there to help with the investigation.

Would it be possible to provide the program you are trying to flash? If you wish to share it privately, please start a private conversation with me.

Thanks
