I have a brand new AURIX TFT TC397 board which has a USB port that can be used for debugging and/or as a serial port interface.  The Infineon documentation that I have indicates that I just need to plug it in to a USB port on my computer and it will automatically setup a serial port interface.

I have tried this on two different Windows laptops, one running Windows 10 and the other Windows 11.  By observing Device Manager, neither one even indicates that I have plugged anything into a USB port, nor sets up a virtual COM port.  There is nothing wrong with the USB port because it powers the target board and the demo firmware on that board runs just fine.

Hi Roger,

Please check if give power to the board? Have you installed ADS and DAS?

I have a DAS64 and this is what I see when I run the tools inside the directory.  I don't know what ADS is. I am not using a miniWiggler or anything like that because eventually I will be debugging using the PLS UAD debugger.

Hi Roger,

Could you please install ADS (Aurix Development Studio) and try to flash a demo project into the board?https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.aurixide

Generally, ADS will use integrated DAS automatically, so you don't need to run DAS seperatedly.

I grabbed a generic project for the TC39x and built it. Then I selected a generic target (not sure if that is a problem or not. But I got this error.

Error creating session
The debug instrument IO could not be initialized.
The GDI debug instrument provided the following error message.
Could not open Access HW

It was a bad cable.  I found a different cable and can now debug via ADS and also see a COM Port in Device Manager.

Thanks
