Icd-u40

I have a bunch of CCS ICD-40 debuggers. Are they still usable with CCS IDE? Debugger reports communication error and does not connect. Connects and operates fine with ICD-U64. Thanks

They should work.
Just plugged one in, and it is merrily seen by CCSLoad. Had to update the firmware, but it was then recognised, and successfully programmed a chip.
In fact it accepted a chip that a few months ago was 'not supported', following the update. Smile

Thanks for the reply. I’ll update the firmware and give it a try. Regards

Did have an issue a while ago, with a 'not communicating' error, when I tried to use an unpowered hub. Remember they do draw noticeable power.

Thanks again. That may be the issue. I'll use a powered hub and try again.

I have found the most reliable way, is not to use a usb hub at all.

I plug mine directly into the front USB port on my desktop computer and it has
always worked with no problems.

also..
Check the USB port settings it's plugged into.!
Somehow, some program or 'ap' CHANGED the current limit on one of my PC's USB ports ! I have no idea how or when or why...just went through the dbl toothpicks thinking that I had done something.
Once I saw it (using USBView) I was able to change it back to full power.
That was 2-3 years ago..still bugs me that it happened.
