Hi all,

I was finally able to sit down and work on the Launchpad a bit more this morning. Here's a description of the problem I'm currently running into.

When I do a power cycle (unplug and plug it back in), the computer recognizes the device as a USB connection and automatically assigns a com port. The code complies nicely in CCS with few to no errors. When I try to run the code on the board, CCS says that the current firmware version of 3.0.0.29 must be updated to 3.0.0.31. When I try to update the firmware through CCS, the console says "updater failed to connect to the XDS110 in programming mode."

I tried to update the firmware manually through command prompt. I typed the following commands as indicated in the manual:

xdsdfu -m 

xdsdfu -f firmware_3.0.0.31.bin -r

After typing the 1^st command, the device is supposed to go into DFU mode. The computer gets rid of the USB connection with com ports and now shows a new connection called "Tiva Device Firmware Update." In the Device Manager, this shows up under "Other devices" with the yellow triangle. After typing the second command, I get a response saying that "the requested device was not found on the bus."

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Sincerely,

Alex
