Scott, Pavel,

- keep getting the "ERROR: Ret JSC_RegisterWrite" message and cannot connect :(

This error seems to indicate the TI Emulators component that was updated (see the screenshot from the OP) is incompatible with this JTAG debugger.

I talked Signum support and they were aware that "some people" have been having issues with CCS 5.5 but he really didn't seem to care too much. I didn't get the feeling that there were any plans whatsoever to investigate the issue.

Signum was acquired by IAR, therefore I can imagine they may not have a strong push to support XDS products that work with CCS (a competing IDE). In this case, the safest alternative is to wipe and reinstall CCSv5.5.
One alternative is to uninstall just the TI Emulators component and reinstall a previous release. Go to menu Help --> About --> Installation details, highlight the TI Emulators component and select the Uninstall button. Then, go to this page and follow the installation instructions for a previous release (I think CCSv5.5 comes with release 5.1 320.0).
From time to time we release updates to our emulation protocol stacks and we inform our partners to integrate the changes to their packages. However, ultimately it is up to the partners to perform this task.
I apologize for the trouble,
Rafael
