Too long to load register in CCS-5.4

Hi,

Which device and emulator are you using? And which register are you referring to?

Thanks

ki

Hi Ki,

I'm using AM1808 as below.

I just found out it's a lot worse when I'm NOT able to copy and paste register content from Register window to text editor.

I did verify it works great with CCS-5.2, but not CCS-5.4

Thanks,

How are you loading the register? Could you provide detailed steps to describe exactly what you are doing?

1) Open CCS

2) Select CCXML

3) Debug project

4) Wait for GEL file fully loaded

5) Click tab : View - Registers

6) Expand any module, say SYSCFG0ARM

For CCS-5.2

    a) All register data appear instantly right after expanding

    b) Able to select, copy and paste register data into text editor

For CCS-5.4

    a) It takes long time to display register data after expanding a module

    b) Able to select register data, but NOT able to copy and paster to text editor

It behaves the same for both OMAP-L138 and AMN1808

Thanks,

Thanks for the steps. Are you using an XDS100v2? That is the only emulator with I see any difference with. XDS510USB and XDS560v2 seem fine.

YES, we've been using it for years

If it does not work with CCS-5.4, why it's fine with CCS-5.2, 5.1, 5.0 ?

Thanks,

XDS100v2 is fully supported by 5.4. I never said it does not work.

I can reproduce this fairly easily. I will have the engineers take a closer look at this.

Thanks

We're in critical time in preparing a demo to potential customer pretty soon and we have quite some bugs to work on

Recently I got some tool issues slowing down our progress significantly

Please let me know the fix as soon as you can

Thanks so much for your great support, Ki

Duy-Ky,

We have been looking at this and cannot reproduce the second issue you reported about unable to cut and paste. I have no issues with cut and paste from the register view to notepad using CCSv5.4 and XDS100v2 with OMAP L138. Is this still an issue?

Regarding the first issue, I see about a ~3 second lag for expanding the register view with some slow painting in filling in the values. Is this around the same time you observed?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

I tried both on my 32-bit Win_XP Pro and 64-bit Ultimate Win_7 and have exactly the same behavor. They are new PC, only 2 years old

For CCS-5.4

* 32-bit Win_XP Pro : display SYSCFG0ARM lags : 1'47"

* 64-bit Win_7 Ultimate : lags 35"

But, once high-light after full content displayed, right-click on SYSCFG0ARM to select, copy-paste to editor, I got only

========================== Start of Edtitor ============================

SYSCFG0ARM

( BLANK !)

==================== End of Editor ===========================

However, for CCS-5.2, with exactly the same project and CCXML, no lag and copy-paste to editor with full register data

======================== Startof Editor ==========================

SYSCFG0ARM    
    REVID    0x4E840102    Revision Register [Memory Mapped]    
    DIEIDR0    0x0901103E    Die ID Register 0 [Memory Mapped]    
    DIEIDR1    0x00639355    Die ID Register 1 [Memory Mapped]    
    DIEIDR2    0x00000080    Die ID Register 2 [Memory Mapped]    
    DIEIDR3    0x06400003    Die ID Register 3 [Memory Mapped]    

* * * *

================== End of Editor ======================

Thanks,

Hi,

I have the same problem here. Until a new version of CCS arrives with the fix I use CTRL-X to put a register content into the clipboard or I use the right mouse button to select 'Copy' from the context-menu.

However, I'm anxiously waiting for the fix becaue I always keep forgetting it's not working...

Sincerely

- Peter

Hi Peter,

The issue appears resolved in early versions of CCSv6. Most likely this was already a known Eclipse bug and has been fixed in a recent Eclipse version that CCSv6 picked up.

Hi Ki,

When CCSv6 release ?

Thanks,

It is scheduled for sometime 1Q of 2014.

Hello

Long Path Tool is the most appropriate program to sort out such issues
