CCS/TMS320DM8127: fail to connec to target because of FTDI driver ?

Part Number: TMS320DM8127

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Experts,

I"m trying to connect to board DM8127 (Camera Starter Kit). but when I test connection on CCS v8, this message appeared:

I tried to follow some instructions about FTDI driver ,but seem it doesn't work. This is what  was shown when I run FT - PROG : 

i have tried to apply a new template to this device  (namely FT222H). Could this be the reason for all of my trouble ?

Can someone help me with this ? Thanks so much

  • Hi,

    >>i have tried to apply a new template to this device  (namely FT222H). Could this be the reason for all of my trouble ?

    Without much further details, I would guess this is the source of the issue.

    Your FTProg screenshot indicates the device is BLANK, thus not being correctly instantiated for operation as a XDS100v2 Debug Probe.

    That said, the attached template was created from my TMDSCSK8127 board (almost identical to a regular XDS100v2). Please feel free to use it to re-program your FTDI device.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
