Hi,

there is the problem with the JTAG connection bethween PC with Windows 7 and 66AK2H14 evaluation module.

I suppose, it's the problem with the XDS200 driver.

In this topic I found this picture:

It's correct names of the devices. But my Windows can't find appropriate driver.

I can manually choose this variant:

And as the result I have the only one device:

If I start the "Test Connection" in Target configuratio menu, it returns this error after 1 minute process:

If I delete drvers for devoce and let it stay unknown "Test Connection" returns the same error but without 1 minute "thinking".

Somewhere in forums I found the way to test JTAG connection by xds2xx_conf.exe running.

There are the results:

The first case: without driver (unknown device) and the second - with it.

Also I've tried to do it in Ubuntu 18.04 using the VMWare virtual machine. The result is the same.

I use CCS 9.

I really need your help,

Nikolay

Nikolay,

The best person to help with this one is out for the Holidays. I have flagged the thread for them so that they will see it in their queue.

Do you have access to a different debug probe that you could try. On that board I believe the XDS200 is a separate card sitting on top and that you can remove it and access the JTAG header underneath.

Thank you, John.

But the problem is exactly not in the JTAG card or cable, because my colleague tested it yesterday and everything was OK. He have two COM-ports in Device Manager and drivers work correctly. There is the difference bethween our OS: he have Win10 and me - Win7.

Nikolay,

Were you able to make this work in your host?

There is a known issue with a specific USB3.0 controller that affects the XDS200 - this is reported in the section Troubleshooting of the XDS200 page.

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_xds200.html

You can also check the other details there for possible issues that may be getting in the way of a good connection.

Also, the Windows drivers shown in your third screenshot above seem quite outdated - the thread you linked talks about the difference between the names of the control panel drivers. I would then manually reinstall the drivers shipped with your CCSv9.2.0 following the procedure on the Troubleshooting section of the page above.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Rafael,

If I understand you correctly, you adviced to do this:

I've done it, but it was failed. Windows said something like this: "There are no drivers in this directory". It couldn't find them.

In this directory I have this:

Nikolay,

Please apologize for the delay; the directory contents match what I have here. In my particular case, they work just fine to install the XDS200 drivers.

At this point I am really unsure what may be happening in your environment - I have both Windows 7 and Windows 10 here and the drivers install perfectly fine using the method I indicated above.

I will keep an eye on other reports and hopefully another developer with a simiar scenario can comment on this thread.

Regards,

Rafael

Rafael,

Thank you for help. I suppose the problem was in my Windows 7. Now I use Windows 10 and don't have the driver problem.
