Please update the USB TAP firmware from CodeWarrior for Power Architecture by means of the CCS command "updateutap" as described in CodeWarrior install folder\Help\PDF\CodeWarrior USB TAP User's Guide.pdf, chapter "Reprogramming the USB TAP Firmware Image" (if getting CCSProtocolPlugin:CCS:USB open failure error together with USB TAP Tx/Rx LEDs flashing red this might indicate a probe damage). For the firmware writing operation you should have only the USB TAP with this problem connected to your computer. Also please use the USB TAP with the default settings.
I recommend using the current version of CodeWarrior for Power Architecture 8.7 (it seems you are using an older version (go to your CW menu, Help->About...->Installed Products for checking the CW version) and update your USB TAP firmware from this version.
I hope this helps,
