USB Tap on Windows 7

azguard — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:51:18 GMT

Has anyone gotten a USB Tap to work with Windows 7?

My current workaround is to install the XP virtual machine, and then install Codwarrior within the virtual OS. However, I was having an issue with programming speed (the download was taking up to 3 minutes). I tried to install the Jungo driver that comes with CodeWarrior, and now all I get is "CCS: USB Open Failed" when I attempt to flash the chip (16 bit MCF8322 via JTAG).

If I could just work from within Windows 7, it would save a lot of headache. If there's not any support for the USB Tap, what programmers do work with CodeWarrior on a 64 bit machine?

I got past my virtual machine issues, so I'm back to a working workaround. I would still like to know what everyone is using to program these chips from Windows 7 if the USB tap is not going to be supported. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem: I can't use the USB Tap to program an MC56F8025 with my new 64bit Win7 notebook.

The USB Tap connects to the processor, blanks the flash, but then writes:

"CCCSClient::WriteMemoryDirect: Core not responding"

Has anybody found a solution?

BTW, on the Virtual XP machine the USB Tap does work, but it's not an attractive environment...

Have you looked at this forum thread?

I finally SOLVED the problem: I just obtained from Freescale a new build of the "ccs" directory (for CodeWarrior or FlashProgramming).

I just replaced the old "ccs" directory with the new one, and now the USB Tap is working fine even under Windows 7.

Hope it can help.

There is an application note, AN4338, which provides an updated CCS build. Use AN4338 and the Enter Keyword search to locate it. That build was for the Classic (non-Eclipse) CodeWarrior IDE, though. Is this the same build?

No it's not the same.

I already tried the "ccs" inside AN4338SW.zip: with it the USB Tap installed correctly on win7, but using it I had the error as in my previous post.

The new "ccs" seems really new, I received it today ("ccs_bld000_win.zip").

Thank you for your help.
