4 Using the Onboard USB JTAG Emulation

The onboard USB JTAG emulation is based on xds100v1 emulation technology from TI and provides an easy way to connect to the board and begin Code Composer Studio™ development.

To set up the onboard USB JTAG emulation, follow these steps:

1. Download and install Code Composer Studio (CCS).
2. Connect the USB docking station to an available USB port.
3. If prompted, do not allow Windows to go online to search for drivers, but allow Windows to search your computer for drivers.
4. Once Windows has finished installing the drivers, the onboard USB JTAG emulator should be ready for use.
5. Open CCS and create a new target configuration, Target → New Target Configuration…
6. Choose the title of your new configuration to be xds100v1-f28X (where X is the part number of the C2000 MCU that is being worked with, for example F28035. Use the shared location.
7. Choose the device that goes with your kit. In CCS, the onboard emulator is called the Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator.
8. Choose the connection as Texas Instruments xds100v1 USB Debug Probe (or Emulator). In the Board or Device field, select the C2000 device that is on your controlCARD.
9. Open up the project for the kit by clicking Project → Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project. Once the dialog box appears, browse to find the applicable project.

For troubleshooting on Windows machines, the status of the driver can be checked by using the Device Manager. With a docking station plugged in, TI XDS100 Channel A and TI XDS100 Channel B should be seen. If they are not seen, refer to this E2E thread.
