2.8.1 XDS110 Interface

J8 provides access to the onboard XDS110 (TM4C1294NCPDT) emulator. This connection provides the following interfaces to the PC:

  • JTAG for CCS connectivity
  • MSS logger UART (can be used to get MSS code logs on the PC)

When the J8 USB is connected to the PC, the device manager recognizes two XDS110 COM ports under Ports (COM and LPT).

AWR2944EVM, AWR2944PEVM XDS110 COM Ports Figure 2-21 XDS110 COM Ports

XDS110 debug probe and data port are detected under Texas Instruments Debug Probes.

If the PC is unable to recognize the above COM ports, then install the latest EMUpack.
