CCS/CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL: Unable to debug target in development mode - (Error -260 @ 0x0)

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have been working with this device for a while now, and I successfully debugged example code, as well as an example edited by a coworker. Having made some changes myself I am now getting an error message when starting a debug session:

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 7.0.188.0)

I have programmed the device with my project files using uniflash, it says my device in in development mode, and the uniflash project is set to development also. My SOP jumpers are set to 010 (according to documentation this is correct for 4-wire JTAG connections. I have defined __DEBUG_SF__ as a predefined symbol in my build. I checked my target configuration, which is set correctly to JTAG.

I also am no longer able to debug the examples.

I have run out of things to try at this point, requesting reinforcements.

Elijah,

Can you swap USB cables/ports used? I know that sounds foolish, but i have seen this be a problem.

If this doesn't work try re-flashing the XDS110 using the instructions below:

I've swapped dev kits for a brand new one including USB cable, it reflashed the firmware automatically and I have tried every USB port. Same issue. I also reflashed the original board to no effect.

Automatically? So when you debug in CCS, a pop up comes up and says to update the firmware?

The original board was reflashed according to the instructions you linked. The brand new one prompted a xds firmware update when I started the first debug session.

I have spent most of today setting up the environment on a different computer, and the board is working fine. I assume there is a bug in the IDE that has caused it to be unable to talk to the debugger, maybe this should be raised as a bug with the IDE development team.

I have uninstalled an reinstalled CCS on my main machine but I am still having the same problem. I would still like some assistance with this issue

New development - I can now debug only intermittently on the newly set up computer after unplugging and replugging USBs.

Elijah,

Is it random when the device will work? or cable dependent? Are you using a USB hub or docking station?

I've worked out that the issues I am having in this case are caused by my company's security software blocking the connection (zscaler I believe). I have a workaround until they fix the problem with it.
