CC1310 & XDS100v3, can't get them to connect

Hi,

Could you test to program the cc1310 with the most up to date smartRF Flash programmer 2, to sort out whether the debugger is defected, or there some issues with CCS configuration (may be drivers).

Also, you haven't mentioned the OS, is it linux, or windows (MAC????) ?

Hello

Flash Programmer 2 (ver 1.7.2) gives these reults:

Clicking on the debugger (XDS100 Ver 3.0, XDS-...) gives a popup with error "Selected device was not recognized - Name of the device not defined in device_info.xml: "XDS100 Ver 3.0"". Clicking on the "Unknown" name beneath it gives a "The selected device could not be identified." etc. error message.

Following this thread: e2e.ti.com/.../425459 , I have modified the device_info.xml file to include my debugger. When I click on it now Flash Programmer 2 it shows a picture of a SmartRF06EB board. But I have no option to select my target chip, and clicking on "Unknown" gives the same error message as before ("The selected device could not be identified"). There is no activity on TMS and TCK when I click on "Unknown"

Main OS is Windows 10 64-bit, plus Linux Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit for testing.

Kind regards,
Wilin

Who is the manufacturer of your XDS100v3?

Hello

The manafucturer is Embest. Link to the product page: www.embest-tech.com/.../xds100v3-usb-jtag-emulator.html

Kind regards,
Wilin

I think it has no support for cortex M3 devices, nor the cJTAG (2 wire jtag)
Do you have any other XDS100v3, or XDS200 to test with?

Hello

It should support Cortex M3 devices, since Cortex M3 devices are supported by XDS100v2 and XDS100v3. XDS100v3 is also reccomended for cJTAG support. I tried with normal JTAG too, and that did not work either. I do not have access to another to another debugger.

Kind regards,
Wilin

I agree with Igor. You may try other XDS100v3 such as www.olimex.com/.../

cc1310 is not supported by XDS100v2.

Several XDS100v3 won't work with cc1310

Do elaborate, what is this "normal JTAG"?

cc1310 is not supported by XDS100v2.

Fair enough, though the original comment said Cortex M3, not CC1310 specifically.

A link would be appreciated. If this is a common problem, it should be clearly written that not all XDS100v3's are supported.

My mistake, I meant "Generate 1149.7 4-pin standard mode", as described in CCS.

I have no specific link, I'm telling you this from my own experience, I had two different XDS100v3 (can't recall brand names), for one I had to

update the FW so it could recognize TI's cortex M3 devices (cc2538...), the other one was especially useful for elevating a bit my custom boards when I was programming cc2538 SoCs with smartRF06EB.

I strongly recommend you to purchase additional XDS100v3, see this link, and this one for more info

SUCCESS!

Turns out, it was the XDS100v3 at fault, and an FPGA update fixed it. The XDS100v3 from Embest, that I have, does not use the Actel ProASIC3 A3P125 that is in the design files. Instead, it uses the newer A3PN125. That meant that upgrading the FPGA firmware was non-trivial, as the firmware supplied in the XDS100v3 design files is not compatible (xds100v3_progfpga.exe will complain with "Failed to verify IDCODE"). I went through the procedure to generate the file again (note, use Libero IDE 9.1, and not 9.2 because it won't work), selecting the newer A3PN125 FPGA in the process. After generating the update file, I used xds100v3_progfpga.exe to load it onto the FPGA. The process was not exactly smooth, with the tool complaining a few times with "Unable to program UROW". I suspect some FTDI weirdness, as the tool succeeded after I connected the debugger to my Linux VM and back again.

Now debugging works in CCS, and SmartRF auto-detects and reads the CC1310.

For anyone having problems with XDS100v3 and cJTAG or programming/debugging or connection problems with CC13xx and CC26xx chips, update the FPGA firmware. I have attached the file, necessary for the A3PN125 FPGA, and you can get the one for the "old" A3P125 FPGA in the design files.

Kind regards,

Wilin

I have the same problem as you faced
my xds100V3 is from olimex
I will try your solution

I have a custom board I just built with an CC1310 on board. I am using the sensortag debug devpack www.ti.com/.../cc-devpack-debug
$15! to flash and debug with no problems.

I have bought 2 TI debugger devpack to see if I would be luky
but no it doesn't function
error msg : with "subpath " problem
but in the meantime I have solved the problem with the XDS100V3 : solution was not to upgrade the fpga from my olimex xds100V3 but to change from TI jtag 20 pins connector to the arm jtag 20 pins connector ( I can't find any explanation )

we have also a smartrf06 on which our CC1310 custom circuit doesn't connect ( error msg concerning jumpers )

Mark could you send me the connections of your board to the devpack ?

in conclusion : with a custom cc1310 based circuit only 1 interface is ok on 3

This is the schematic at my 10pin JTAG connector. I think I have seen that subpath message before, I cant remember why now. I'll let you know if I see it again...

thanks for your post .it solved the problem with the devpack 

pin 1 on the TI devpack schematic has no connection to VDDS 

when I did it according your schematic it worked !

next step is to understand the smartrf06 board problem

Can you provide some more information on this? I'm working on a Senior Design project at my university, and we chose the XDS100v2 to use with our CC1310 because the v2 supports Cortex M3 devices. Is there any reason it shouldn't work with the CC1310? 

Thanks,

Matt

You can only use XDS100v3 or XDS110 to program or debug CC1310.
