CCS/LAUNCHXL2-RM46: How to start debug LAUNCHXL2-RM46 with USB connection?

Part Number: LAUNCHXL2-RM46
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM46L852

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi there,

I  recently purchased LAUNCHXL2-RM46 and installed CCS Version: 10.1.1.00004.

I started CCS, and then, to confirm LAUNCHXL2-RM46 debugging, connected it to my PC with USB cable.

then, LED was blinking on the board. But I could not start debugging.

Does anyone help me?

There was no LAUNCHXL2-RM46 detection in CCS I expected, when I connected board to my PC (already CCS running).

So I tried to make configuration manually,

Window->Show view->Target configuration .... Connection and Device was selected in the window.

Connection : Texas Instruments USB XDS110 debug probe

Device : RM46L852

Then save configuration, pushed Test Connection, following coming up:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity

[Result]

This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
This utility will load the adapter 'jioxds110.dll'.
The library build date was 'May 7 2020'.
The library build time was '21:10:18'.
The library package version is '9.2.0.00002'.
The library component version is '35.35.0.0'.
The controller does not use a programmable FPGA.

An error occurred while hard opening the controller.

-----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-260' (0xfffffefc).
The title is 'SC_ERR_XDS110_OPEN'.

The explanation is:
An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed.
The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid
firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB
cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the
xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110
directory of your installation. View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf
file there for instructions.

[End: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0]

I also tried to search a device with xdsdfu.

    It appears that your Windows system is not detecting the XDS110 probe on the LaunchPad. Hence the CCS debugger is unable to communicate to it.

    Please take a look at the troubleshooting section for the XDS110 page and try some of the suggestions mentioned there:

    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Hello Mr. Ki,

    Thanks for quick response to my trouble.

    I could connect to my device with my PC.

    I tried following process,

      1) Connect to LAUNCHXL2-RM46 without CCS running. 

      2) "Texas Instruments Debug Probes" appeared on my PC (device manager).

      3) Change Baud Rate and Stop Bits at  "XDS110 Class Application/User UART(COM)"

          following Quick start guide.

    I got aware that there is no "Texas Instruments Debug Probes" on device manager if CCS running,

    before calibrate COM parameters. 

    That is why I did not have a connection.

    Thanks lots, anyway.
