Steps to properly access the T2080 via CodeWarrior TAP

[christiankeller]

I want to get familiar with the usage of the CodeWarrior TAP. The
Hardware I have available is a T2080RDB board.

The TAP is connected via USB on a Windows host.

The CodeWarrior Version is
 - CodeWarrior for Power Architecture
     Version: 10.5.1
     Build Id:160128

The connection from TAP <-> board is done via the correct adapter and
a 1:1 cable as shown on the Codewarrior TAP User Guide plugged into
J23.

The goal of this exercise is to access the Processor during the boot
stage, so don’t have a software project yet (thus „simulating“ board
bringup).

What I have tried so far:

1. Opened a „CodeWarrior Bareboard Project“
2. Selected the T2080 / Type Application
3. Selected T2080RDB0-PCIe since the other option is only the
   T2080QDS, Download option „Default“, Connection Type „CodeWarrior
   TAP USB“ (which is correct)
4. Default Build Settings
5. Hit Finish
6. Build Project

I get the following error:

Error launching t-core00_RAM_T2080_Download
CCSProtocolPlugin : CCS: Cable disconnected
 [CCS last error: Cable disconnected (target power not detected) ]

My Questions:

How is this done correctly?
Where can I find Documentation on how to setup the connection properly?
Is there an example project to try out the CodeWarrior TAP?
Why is there no option to select the T2080RDB in step #3?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Christian Kellermann,

1. Please check whether there is problem with CodeWarrior TAP, please plug in CodeWarrior TAP and check whether you could find the attached information in the device manager on your host PC.

2.  Please power on the target board.

3. Please compare the following default switch configuration with your target board to make sure no problem with the reset sequence.

If you suspect there is quality problem, please create a service request in our system from the Sales and Support|NXP .

Have a great day,
Yiping

Thank you for your reply. I have verified all the settings you have mentioned. I am unsure how to properly open up a project for debugging with CodeWarrior. Could you point me to an example project/tutorial/Manual that describes the steps necessary to set up debugging?

Note that I would like to use the TAP to attach to the CPU and step it without having a source code project available (during board bringup).

Thanks!

Christian

Hello Christian,

Please follow step by step new project wizards to create a sample project in CodeWarrior IDE from File->New->CodeWarrior Bare Board Project. In the "Debug Target Settings Panel", please choose "Attach" Launch configuration, and use it to connect to the target board later.

You could refer to the section B in the quick start document C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\Quick Start for PA 10 Processors.pdf.

Have a great day,
Yiping
