Re: C6727b JTAG Connectivity Error

Several different people have reported mysterious problems when using
the TMS320C6727B-Wintech TDS510USB Emulator configuration.

6711 and 6713 devices work okay with the Wintech TDS510USB Emulator.

IMO, The problem appears to be rooted in the software for the Wintech
TDS510USB Emulator. The 6727 device has the longest JTAG scan chain of
any C6000 device [and most likely any TI DSP]. It is my theory that
the larger buffer that is required by the C6727 [due to additional CPU
registers] is not being managed properly by the software. This is
sometimes illustrated by getting different results on different PCs
and sometimes changing the behavior by shutting down some applications
and rebooting. To my knowledge, XDS560 emulators, BlackHawk XDS510
emulators, or Spectrum Digital emulators do not exhibit this problem.

Additional comments below.

This error message indicates that the initial 32 bit scan of the
device ID was invalid. Possible causes are [1] improper device
initialization, [2] bad power, [3] old CCS driver without Silicon
Revision Number error recovery, [4] ESD damaged C6727, or [5] an
unusual 'sensitivity failure' of the TDS510USB Emulator Pod [not very
likely].
