xTIMEcomposer: debug configurations: where is TARGET hw list Topic is solved

[redfart]

Help a new developer. When I'm in the MAIN tab of the Debug Configurations (for a new xCORE Application), the drop-down list of Targets is empty. (Below "Device Options, run on hardware..."). How does this list get populated? Seems like I should see either my XMOS chip or the dev kit name appearing here, right? (screen shot attached)

Even though the field is blank, I can run the debug configuration. My project is the sample audio project "app_usb_aud_xk_216_mc"; my C/C++ app is the .xe file generated when I built the code. Yet, when I start the debug, my hardware is not configured according to the settings I've made in the makefile. I suspect it's because I have not identified a physical target here, and the device is actually running older code.

Hi redfart (now that is a very unique name). Correct that you should see that field being populated. Do you have a XMOS kit of some sort ?

See here for a close up for the XMOS StartKit ($15 USD from Digikey):

If you do have any XMOS hardware then experiment by testing some other USB port (non USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 is one idea). Some have reported issues with USB 3.x ports during enumeration. Post back if you still are unable to locate your attached h/w.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. Yes, I am running the dev kit "XK-AUDIO-216-MC-ABL" (xcore 200 multichannel audio). I thought I'd followed all setup steps correctly. THere's not much tutorial that comes with the kit; just tech data

Forgot to mention - I am debugging the HW with an XMOS XTAG3 1V2 (jtag debugger). It enumerates successfully as a USB device, type: LibUSB-Win32 Devices

Review this thread:

Are you using a USB hub or plugging direct into your PC ? Although it is very possible that there is a hub controller present on your motherboard.

THAT WAS IT!!!

I was plugging the XTAG-3 into my laptop's docking station's USB port. Originally, I had plugged it directly into the laptop. I moved it back to the laptop's USB jack, and now my hardware is running my configuration. The XTAG-3 also shows up in the debug config's TARGET field (after doing a "refresh list")

Yes, I am running Windows 7-64, just like the users in the thread you linked to. Thank you!
