This is normal; with an erased flash, the processor will read a  HRCW
which  sets external bus arbitration and CPU core disabled - there is
nothing left for the BDI to communicate with.

Install a RCFG jumper... The PM82x modules  have  a  RCFG  jumper  to
bring up the CPU in internal default configuration.
