LAUNCHXL-CC2650: Run a debug session by connecting CC2650 as external target using MSP430FR5969

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a way to use Energy Trace++ with CC2650?

Yes, however you must connect a XDS110 which supports EnergyTrace hardware, for example the LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1.  This User Guide provides information for connecting external targets, and you can find more details on current consumption measurements with this Application Report.

Hi,

Tried connecting CC2650 as external target to CC2652R1F and run a debug sssion. Its working.

But the Energy Trace ++ feature is disabled as before.

How to resolve this?

What other observations can you share?  Are you able to use EnergyTrace in general?  Are the JTAG pins all connected (VCC, GND, RESET, TMS, TCK, TDO, TDI)? Have you tried switching to EnergyTrace++ under the menu Window → Preferences → Code Composer Studio → Advanced Tools → EnergyTrace Technology?  https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_energytrace.html

Hi,

Yes, Energy trace can be used.

In the Preferences, have enabled the Energy Trace++ also, connected all the JTAG pins that you have mentioned.

But the Energy Trace++ is disabled when I debug the program, only Energy Trace can be observed.

What SDK and CCS version are you using?  Have you switched to 4-pin JTAG from your target configuration file?  https://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/simplelink_cc13xx_cc26xx_sdk_5_30_01_01/docs/ble5stack/ble_user_guide/html/energy-trace/energy-trace.html
