New Debug / JTAG Probe - XDS110: First Steps

Hi,

I'm new to JTAG.

I need to debug the Beaglebone Black (BBB) using debug. I got a TI Lanuchpad CC1310

BBB has a cTI 20 pin.

Launchpad's XDS out has a (ARM) 10 pin.

Can I wire them up point to point by looking the pin layouts in here?

Will it work or do I need an adapter or a breakout borad (I don't know the difference)?

[mention:acaf6a9338de4eef8f6717d5561ed01d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] Nice one!

I have some CC1310 barebones in tape. Is it possible to program those in breakout board by connecting MSP-430 debugger from a launchpad?
Or how else could it be programmed as an alternative to XDS110?

I've just tested the UART integration with a TMS570LS04:

Note to myself:

On some devices, I get this (and similar) error when starting a session using the XDS110 probe:

[embed:dc8ab71f-3b98-42d9-b0f6-e21e02a0f8e2:3ef06e6b-9b7d-4651-b12d-db8be7f5e991:type=text&text=CortexR4%3A+Trouble+Setting+Breakpoint+with+the+Action+%22Finish+Auto+Run%22]

This is when the microcontroller has a limited set of hardware breakpoints (in my case: the TMS570LS04).

You can uncheck this option that makes the errors disappear:

Rant. What I don't like is that the product features highlight:

[View:/resized-image/__size/496x289/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-efe490b8-4a45-4e38-be48-cc9f3be5ddeb/contentimage_5F00_204393.png:496:289]

Then, when reading the details:

2.5.1 Physical Connection for the Expansion Interface
The XDS110 probe supports a 30-pin IDC female socket with .100 inch pitch. It exposes additional
functionality of the XDS110 debug processor (TMC4129) for add-on modules. The signal mapping for this
connection is shown in Table 2, but utilizing this interface is generally reserved for TI and designated third
parties that have the ability to integrate the add-on functionality into the entire system.

Nice pick up.

TI used to periodically put items like this up for sale to clear out inventory.

I picked up a nice spectrum analyzer once.

Jan,

Nice blog. I used to do a lot of work with some of the TI DSP parts. At the time the TI JTAG debug probes were so expensive, that it was difficult to get management to fork over the cash to get more. We would stand around waiting for someone to finish their work so we could get something done (not too smart on the management side).

Enjoy your new tool/toy!
