Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The following has been tried on both Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 16.04.6 with the same result.

It has been tried with two different LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 boards with the same result.

Install Code Composer Studio 9.2.

Import ble5_project_zero_cc2640r2lp_app.

Connect LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2.

Try to download/debug.

This will work once, then the next time a popup indicates "Load program Error":

If I use Flash Programmer 2 to erase the CC2640, I can download/debug *ONCE* before getting this error again.

NOTE: When running Flash Programmer 2, it will update the XDS firmware to 2.3.0.18 every time, then when download/debugging with CCS, it will update the XDS firmware to3.0.0.5.

Hi Dave,

I can't seem to reproduce either issue (load program error on second load, and constant firmware update). I tried with CCSv9.2 on Windows 10.

You screenshot didn't get posted correctly, is there any other information other than "load program error"? Any other text in the debug console?

Thanks

I meant to say that "I can't seem to reproduce either issue". I edited the post to correct that.

Here is the dialog that pops up:

From the console window:

Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Board Reset Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: Target timed out! (Block 0)
Cortex_M3_0: Status 0xFFFFFFFF: Target flashloader has not returned any status. Unknown error!

Hmmm, seems like I can't insert a screen shot. Even tried the "insert from windows".

See: https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/821597?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=faq%3Atrue

But I don't think I need the screenshot anymore. The messages your provided from the console have the information I need.

It seems like your issue has been reported in the past:

There are some suggestions in that thread made by Rafael (he has a link to another thread). Perhaps some of those suggestions are worth trying out.
