CCS V5 Debugger problem

Hi Thomas,

have you also tried a fresh workspace and/or deleting the metadata?   It almost sounds like something might have gotten corrupted.   Also, another tip would be to double check what differences there are with working projects.  (ie confirm all are CCS projects, version created with etc)  Perhaps some further information will help us here with any diagnostics.

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for responding to my post.

I am not super familiar with CCS. So when you mention deleting the metadata I am not really sure what you mean. I have tried creating a new workspace for the project and I am getting the same result. Not only has this been an issue with my current project, but even my old ones are not going into debugger at this point. Between the projects that are using the same chips, they all have pretty much the same settings and I set them up the same way. I have already tried re-downloading and installing CCS and I am getting the same results. 

With regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

can you provide screen captures and any further details?  I would like to see if I can reproduce this so any details/steps on how you are setting up your project etc would help.  I have not seen this behaviour to date with my launchpad.   What OS are you using?   Do you also see this with built in examples?  (eg from the latest stellarisware)

Lisa,

I have included a screen shot of the problem. The other day I could have sworn it was doing this for every project. Even those in StellarisWare, but now it looks like it may just be my projects. The picture shows the error at the top in the Properties -> Debug. When I try to click on the debug icon at the top of the screen nothing happens. I am using Windows 8 for my OS.

Keep in mind, I am setting up the projects the same as the example projects (as far as I know its the same way) and my projects were working just fine well in advance to this error occurring. 

With regards,

Hi Tom,

did something change if you say your projects were previously working?    Is there any further information you can provide?  The only thing suspicious I see in your screen capture is that there are two folders/projects with the same name.  Please see if the problem goes away if you rename/remove one of them.  I know ccs/eclipse does not like duplicate names.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Lisa,

As far as I know nothing has changed in the projects. I did go back through the project settings when the problem occurred to make sure that nothing had changed. Some of the names are similar, but there aren't any projects with exactly the same name (one may be SSI vs SPI and one make say test where the other doesn't). I am not sure what else to provide you in terms of information without you just asking what you may specifically be looking for. Thanks for continuing to help.

With regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

can you provide any details at all?  What exact steps did you take?  Would you mind trying to remove the & and spaces from the names?   From the screen capture it appears there is no real CCS or device information at all.   Can you double check permissions and antivirus interference?

Lisa

Hi Tom,

I just thought I would check for any updates with your enquiry.

Lisa

Hi Tom,

ok, glad to hear you have a working setup and sorry for the inconvenience.

All the best with development.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Just wanted to add some info here as I ran into a problem like this.  I tried to copy a project in CCS so I would be able to do some testing and have a second copy of the original project.  I renamed the project and used the '&' symbol in the project name.  This apparently causes a problem in creating a debug configuration so I removed that symbol and now I can launch the debugger and program my Tiva launchpad.  Just an observation, but may help someone out.
