Important information

• Firmware update XDS200 probe needed
  When you are installing the TI emupack enclosed with EWARM 7.60.2 make sure that your XDS200 probe has the latest firmware (v1.0.0.8).
  The firmware update tool is found in your TI emupack installation C:\ti\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds2xx

• Installation of USB drivers for TI XDS debugger probes
  During the installation of the Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) you have the possibility to install the TI USB drivers.
  
  But in case you need to install any driver manually following steps are done:
  

  1. If you are using TI XDS100/110/200 emulator, you must have the version of the TI emupack provided with this release of EWARM installed in the suggested directory C:\ti.
     
     The TI emupack installer is located in the arm\drivers\ti-xds directory of the EWARM installation.
     Note: To install the TI emupack you must have full administrative rights on your computer. To achive this you have to do Run as administrator when starting the installer.
     
     The following USB drivers are included in the TI emupack installation, and will be installed in your system as part of the installation procedure:
     
     
     • For TI XDS110, USB drivers are found in the C:\ti\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds110_drivers directory.
     • For TI XDS100, USB drivers are found in the C:\ti\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds100_drivers directory.
     • For TI XDS200, USB drivers are found in the C:\ti\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds2xx_drivers directory.
     
     
  2. For some TI XDS110 boards, you need to explicitly install the USB driver in the arm\drivers\StellarisICDI directory of the EWARM installation. This USB driver is also possible to install during the installation of the EWARM.

• The C-SPY driver for the TI XDS emulators currently supports the following TI device families: AM1xx, AM3xx, AM43xx CC13xx, CC2538, CC26xx, CC32xx, F28M3x, LM3S, LM4F, MSP432, OMAPL138, RM48L, TMS470M, TMS570.

New features

• SWO support for TI XDS110
  The IAR C-SPY Debugger now supports SWO trace data from the TI XDS110 debug probe.

Known Problems

• For XDS100 with ARM9, Cortex-A or Cortex-R cores, the USR mode registers R8_USR to R14_USR does not always contain the correct values. This makes the stack usage function report false warnings. To disable the stack check functions open the Tools>Options dialog and uncheck all options in the Stack category.

• The semihosting (Terminal I/O) does not work correctly after flash download when using the XDS100 debugger driver. A workaround is to stop the debugger, and then start debugging without download.

• When reading the FIQ register group in the XDS100 debugger driver, incorrect values are recorded. The actual behavior depends on the current cpu mode. This will cause the stack checking to give false warnings in the log window. A workaround is to turn off the stack checking from the menu Tools>Options>Stack and disable all stack options.

New features

• Support for Texas Instruments XDS100v2
  The Texas Instruments debug probe XDS100v2 is now supported for TI TMS570 devices. To use XDS100v2, select TI XDS100 in the Driver drop-down list on the Debugger>Setup options page. The XDS100v2 debug driver requires the Texas Instruments emulator package to be installed. To install the emulator package, start ...\arm\drivers\ti-xds\ti_emupack_setup.exe and follow the installation procedure. Make sure to install the emulator package in the suggested default location. This will allow the debugger to find the emulator package automatically. If for some reason the package is installed in a custom location, the option --xds_rootdir=path must be specified on the options page Debugger>Extra Options.
