CCS/LAUNCHXL-F280049C: error initializing emulator

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280049C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BOOSTXL-DRV8320RS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Team, 

My customer is having an issue with debugger:

I am having trouble with debugger on LaunchXL-F280049C. It works when BoostXL-DRV8320RS is not plugged in. After I plug in BoostXL-DRV8320RS it doesn’t. I get this error:

My CCS version is 9.3.0.00012. Even if I unplug BoostXL-DRV8320RS I still get this error until I restart CCS.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Viktorija

  • Here is additional information to my problem. I ran the utility:

    Also I removed/installed J1-J3 when I install/remove BoostXL-DRV8320RS board.

  • Alex, Viktorija, 

    Thanks for the details. Error 260 indicates the host can't communicate with the probe, which is usually caused by many factors, including cables, the USB port, etc. Check the reference below for details (search for the error number).

    You mentioned you removed JP1~JP3, but perhaps the boosterpack may be providing insufficient power to the processor side of the board? You could try to remove JP9 and apply external power to the board independently. That or put the boosterpack in the lower part of the board (J5~J8) and isolate the power through JP8.  

    I didn't thoroughly check the schematics to see if there may be other issues at hand, but that is my best bet at this time. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • Dear Rafael,

    Instead of wasting my time you could have asked a simple question: "Di you install JP9 when you removed JP3?" They are mutually exclusive but one of them obviously (now) required because +5V0 is connected pin 96 on the debugger chip. This requirement is not mentioned in any TI documentation/guides. TI should add this to the chapter 3.2 Hardware Setup of BOOSTXL-DRV8320RS EVM User’s Guide. You did help me when you mentioned JP9 but I fixed TI problem myself.

  • Alex,

    Hindsight always has a perfect perspective and I don't deliberately make developers like you waste their time with useless reading.

    Whenever replying to a thread, I don't have the developer's system in front of me and need to cover all possible scenarios that may be causing a failure.

    Also, there are many boosterpacks and launchpads available and I don't have access to all the hardware, especially in times of quarantine like these.

  • All I want now is TI to update the document I mentioned in the previous reply so no one else has this problem. This document is not a general document. It is for a particular launchpad and booster pack.

    Thanks

    Alex

  • Alex,

    I appreciate the feedback and we will be discussing how to improve that area of the documentation.

    Regards,
