CC2540: Cannot connect CC Debugger to CC2540 dongle

Part Number: CC2540
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

I am trying to debug using the CC debugger and CC 2540 USB Dongle.  I get the following error when I try to connect.  I do not see and XDS110 in the Ports under Device Manager.  I do see CC Debugger and CC2540 USB Dongle under Cebal controlled devices.

Error connecting to the target:
(Error -260 @ 0x0)
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 ReadMe.txt file there
for instructions.
(Emulation package 6.0.628.1)

    Hi Duane,

    You do not say anything about what SW/IDE you are using, but the XDS110 and the CCDebugger are two different things. I am guessing you are running a CC26xx example project in CCS, that will not work for CC2540. You need to download to appropriate BLE Stack version (1.4.2) and use IAR.

    Cheers,
    Fredrik

    I am using CCS Studio 7 (Code Composer Studio Version: 7.1.0.00016).  I have attached a screen shot of the options it gives for debugging.  There are only XDS110 type options. I have attached a screen shot that shows the options.

    Hi Duane,

    As I wrote, CC2540 is only supported in IAR, not CCS. You must also download the appropriate SDK, the current project you are using is for the CC26xx devices.

    Cheers,
    Fredrik

    Ok, then another route. Can I load the Sensor Tag code on the SmartRF06 board?

    The reason for the query is the target is CC2650. The application we are doing is very simple, it reads a button press and sends a 1 byte message to a BT app on a PC. The Sensor Tag app appears to be a good basis to start from for this type of app.

    If you use CC2650 SensorTag, you can download code using SmartRF06.
