CCS/TMS320F28332: Development Board Serial COM Issue

Part Number: TMS320F28332

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi E2E Community,

I have DSP development Kit R1.2 with TMS320F28332 Control Card R2.2. It was working perfectly where I was just plugin and download my codes from code composer studio to the control card without any issues. Then I install software called "Eco Structure Machine Expert V1.2" used for PLCs programming, After that, when I connect the board with the PC through the USB Port and try to compile my code I get this error:

Error connecting to the target:
(Error -716 @ 0x0)
Required dynamic library jscserdes could not be located.
The library isn't on the search path.
(Emulation package 9.1.0.00001)

Troubleshooting I tried:

1. I Uninstall the new Software that I recently installed and I make sure that all the registered file related to that software is deleted.

2. I check the Device manager to see if it recognise the DSP board on the port (COM&LPT) I do not see the XDS100 V2 or V1 on my Port and the picture is attached below:

3. I tried to check if the driver has the latest Version

4. The Library is in the direct path and accessible

5. I uninstall and reinstall the newer version of Code Composer Studio and the Problem still present

6. I install The FTD2XX.dll Library in USCIF and that did not help

7. I Checked the Hardware ids and it is as follows:

Please Did anyone Can help me or faced the same issue before and resolved it. I am on a tight schedule. Please Help 

  • Hi,

    Thanks for sending such detailed post; you followed pretty much all the troubleshooting steps to try to get to the bottom of this. 

    I am not sure if you noticed, but the device drivers shown in step 2) above indicate problems with the XDS100 Debug Probe (they have yellow triangles on them). Can you try to reinstall the drivers or change them to see if the issues disappear? Details about that are shown in the section 2.6 of the XDS100 page at:

    https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS100

    Apart from that, I would check if there are any dependencies missing from the jscserdes.dll. Unfortunately Dependency Walker does not seem to work well on Windows 10, thus I went with an alternative called Dependencies, which showed me a few issues with the FTD2xx.dll file but my system works ok.

    Also, the FTD2xx.dll file I am using has the following version details:

    Apart from either a firewall, antivirus or other protection software blocking access to this or other CCS components, one last idea that is a very long shot is that, if you have used OpenOCD or other FTDI Open source code, you may have replaced or misconfigured the device drivers, which could cause it to fail their instantiation. To fix that, follow the steps I mentioned before to verify and reinstall the drivers. 

    I will keep trying to find additional options that may help dig further this issue and report back if I find anything relevant. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
