I had a harddrive crash last week, and ended up totally re-installing everything. I used to have the usually odd problem with CCS and the JTAG communications crashing, but it would at least come up and run consistently. But now after the reinstall it doesn't work at all for about 1/2 the day. Then through some combination of reboots, stray cosmic rays, etc. it will begin to work after about lunchtime! When it fails, CCS doesn't recognize that the xds510pp (Spectrum Digital) is even connected. When it fails I can run portio -s, -r and -x and none of them recognize the xds510pp or even a working port. When it finally starts working all of these tests work. I've tried changing the parallel port setting from EPP (which is where it was set when it worked with the previous harddrive) to SPP8 and reinstalled the win98 LPT driver. It appeared to work for a while, but this morning CCS doesn't recognize anything again. I suspect that the real culprit is Win98 and its parallel port driver, since the portio -s test doesn't even work when it fails. This is under Windows 98, CCS 1.2 Debug and Codegen tools with a Spectrum Digital XDS510pp on LPT1 (only parallel port on the MB, a A-BIT BP6 with a single processor). Thanks for any hints, Brian ----------------- Brian C. Lane Programmer www.shinemicro.com RF & Microcontroller Design |

Brian, Have you remembered to edit your sdopts.cfg file after reinstalling the software? This file somehow congfigures the communication along with the board-driver.

I have changed the xds510pp.ini file, and I did an install using the CC Studio setup utility to add the board using the sdgo5xx32 driver. And in the previous installs that was all that I did. Something that is different this time is that I installed CCS Debug in c:\ti-debug and CCS Codegen in c:\ti, I also have the spectrum digital drivers installed in both directories. I may try reinstalling with both in c:\ti even though the CCS install complains when you try to do this. Thanks, Brian ----------------- Brian C.
