How to debug failing CCS/USB Tap/Target?

chester_szczepu · ‎08-09-2018

Any help would be very much appreciated.

USB Tap with FW version 1.10

CW Version: 11.0.1

Target: Freescale M56F8345

CCS log(attempting to start debug session):

Hi Jennie,

Thanks for looking into this.

Your last sentence explains a part of the problem. Is there a different flash programming tool that does work with Windows 10?

Now back to using CW11.

Is there any way to prove where my problem lies, either TAP/target or the tools configuration? My environment is CW11 on Windows 10 with USB TAP now updated to v1.10 and CCS version 4.13.

USB TAP is detected with correct S/N:

(bin) 6 % show version
Received CMD_SERVER_VERSION
command done - Ok
CCS Windows Release Build 438p0
CodeWarrior Connection Server version {4.13}
(C) Copyright 2003-2010 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
(bin) 7 % findcc utaps
USB TAP Serial Numbers:
08160018
08160018
(bin) 8 %

Here's the CCS log from CW starting debug session:

ccs_open
ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
port = 41475
timeout = 60
serverh = 0
ccs_open; ccs_error = 0

index = 39
count = 1
value: (size = 1)
0x00000020
ccs_write_reg; ccs_error = 7; duration=0 ms
Error message: Invalid handle
ccs_read_reg
coreh = [serverh:0;cc_index:0;chain_pos:0]
index = 37
count = 1
value: (size = 1)
0x00000000
ccs_read_reg; ccs_error = 7; duration=0 ms
Error message: Invalid handle

I also have CCS window log with "show command" on. I just do not know how to interpret it.

I'm specifically puzzled with the following from the log:

Received CMD_RESET_TO_DEBUG
Sending CMD_SERVER_ALIVE
Sending CMD_SERVER_ALIVE
Sending CMD_SERVER_ALIVE
Sending CMD_SERVER_ALIVE
Sending CMD_SERVER_ALIVE

USB TAP command done - Subcore error encountered during multicore operation

I do not think 56F8345 has multiple cores. This makes me think of configuration.

Maybe having such a log from a working setup would help but I do not have one like that.

I have two versions of the board in question and they both behave the same.

Best,

Chester

Hi Chester,

No other flash programming tool that natively works with Windows 10. I recommend you use CW11 to test the basic connection.

ccs v4.13 is the latest ccs version. you can use it on win10

I suggest you create a new project from scratch with wizard in a new workspace. try if it can connect board. If not, test same on another computer.

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang

Hi Chester,

What is your chip part number?

Best Regards,

Jennie Zhang

chester_szczepu · ‎08-10-2018

Hi Jennie,

The chip is MC56F8345VFGE.

When it failed I saw that CW 11.0 did not have flash .cfg for this specific chip, so I took one from older version circa 2005.

No success either.

This may not be compatible but I need to find one that would work.

Thanks,

Chester

Hi Chester,

MC56F8345 memory config file is MC56F8345.mem.

We can file it under CW11 install folder.

There are many reasons that could cause connection fail.

Can you please test if your USB TAP work normal with another board?

then please also create a new project in a new workspace to test if the problem is only associate with a specific project?

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang

Hi Jennie,

My installation has the .mem file that looks ok. I can create and build examples and such.

Communication over JTAG seems to be failing

What I'm looking for is bypassing IDE to simplify the problem.

I'd like to run fflash.exe and this, as far as I understand, requires .cfg file for the specific cpu.

At this moment just being able to program S-record file in would be a big step forward.

Thanks,

Chester

Hi Chester,

Which version of Flash Programmer do you work with? I install v1.2, there is 568345_flash.cfg under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Freescale\FlashProgrammer v1.2\M56800E_Support\initialization

Here is FlashProgrammer v1.2 download link.

56800/E Flash Programmer

But please note, FlashProgrammer doesn't support win7/10 platform.

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang
