CCS/CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL: Can't download, error 1170

Part Number: CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have attempted in vain to download a compiled demo project to the dev board. Invariably, I get the following error:

(Error -1170 @ 0x0)

Unable to access the DAP. Reset the device, and retry the operation. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle the board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK).

(Emulation package 8.3.0.00003)

I reset, cycled power, changed JTAG settings but nothing changes. I am just compiling one of the RTOS examples. Running on iMac with macOS 10.13 and CCS 9.2

  • Hi,

    Were you ever able to download code to this board? If not, check the thread below that contains a range of troubleshooting tips for it:

    Hope this helps,

  • None of the suggestions in that thread helped, jumpers were in the correct position and board was in dev mode. Also when I tested the connection with the board (project properties, test) the connection worked just fine without a single failure reported.   I did notice that a different example project (a NORTOS project) build and downloaded just fine - there appeared to be a difference between the two ccxml files. Copying the 'good' ccxml file to the 'bad' project allowed the download to work.

    1. Though I noticed the differences in the CCS GUI between the two ccxml files, there appeared to be no way to make changes. At first I thought to just put them side by side and made changes so the files would be the same and I could learn something in the process. But no. 

    2. Every time I download, my CCS perspectives layout will change. Every dang time I have to reset it. Everytime I bring up some window (Explorer for example) the layout is modified and whatever window is just plugged in the middle somewhere.
