CCS6.1.0 tries to launch another CCS process during single step in debug

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I'm debugging a modified production application for the F2812 in CCVSv6.1.0.00104 that uses DSP/BIOS 5.42.1.09. I'm using an XDS-200 JTAG emulator. During single-stepping, sometimes CCS tries to launch a 2nd copy (process) of CCS for no apparent reason. It never quite fully starts though as it tells me my default work space is in use, so I usually close it. If I give it an alternate work space, it will fully open to the getting started page. At least most recently, it happened when the PC was pointing to cint00() at address 0x3da9f8, which is in flash.

This is very annoying and time consuming while I'm trying to debug a serious problem. What can I do to keep this from happening?

Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have never heard of such a problem. It is one of the strangest issues I have ever heard. I don't even know how a single step action can trigger another CCS launch. I was going to as for a screenshot but that won't be so helpful. What may help is a short video capture of the issue. Some people post video captures and they can be really helpful.

    Thanks

    Ki-Soo, thanks for your reply. I eventually figured it out. Somehow, the .s28 file type got an association with CCStudio.exe. During single-step debug, it tried to open a .s28 file and therefore launched another CCS process. I did have to edit the registry to undo that, as I couldn't find a way in windows-7 to unassociate a file type. There's an easy way to make an association or even to change it, but to undo it completely is a different problem. It's all taken care of now. Thank you.
