How does CCS v5.1 load a .out file

Hi

I'm using CCS v5.1 and cannot find a way to load a single .out file (not a project) to a F28x MCU.

Any advices are appreciated.

Thanks,

Jiakai

    Hi Jiakai,

    you wish to do a projectless debug session?

    If so the steps are

    1 - create a target configuration (ccxml) file.  File->New Target configuration.  Be sure to save it!

    2 - go to View->Target configurations

    3 - right click and "launch selected configuration"

    4 - you should now be in debug mode

    5 - Run->load->program

    Best REgards,

    Thanks for this post. I was just looking it over to help me through this problem. My next point may go without saying, but make sure that you connect to the target in step 4 in order to have the Load Program drop-down go from being ghosted to being available.

    Lisa's procedure worked for me running CCS 5.1 for a F28335 board except I had step 4.5 before CCS would let me load a program:

    4.5 - Run->Connect Target

    Thanks for this.  We've been trying to do this ever since we switched to CCS 5 and it's been driving us nuts.

    Hello,

    I do have the problem that I do not get the menu to load the out files.

    Usually it should be possible to load a program by Run->load->program.

    But I only get Run->load->verifyprogram.

    Does anyone know what happend?

    Regards

    After compiling the code have you made configuration file? i.e .ccxml file. 

    then go to target >> debug active project

    then target>> load program

    then load the '.out' file generated during compilation.

    then target>> run

    I hope this will answer the question.

    Thanks.

    Hello

    I found the cause of the problem. The CCS had a program crash. During working with another tool the CCS broke down. After that many of the environment settings got lost. So it took some time to find the lost  settings and set them again.

     

    Many thanks

    We have found that sometimes when you have a project that stops working, you need to delete your workspace  files and start a new workspace from scratch.  Then everything magically starts working again.

    Lisa,

    I hope this post will help the next person that searches for what I needed. Very similar situation but I am starting with a full project. My concern was that when I start a Debug session, I would load more into the MSP430 than just the release code. (AKA all the Debug code.) So, I was able to execute 2 thru 4 above but Run > Load > Program was greyed out. My solution is:

    4 - arrive in debug mode

    4.5 - Run > Connect Target

    5 - Run > Load > Program

    At this point a dialog allows browsing to the *.out file that was generated from the release build. (I hope.) Software is running but I can't know for sure that there is no debug code embedded.

    Regards,
