Flash Programmer: Missing Flash Programming Settings

I guess you have made an update to your CCS4 because this sounds exactly what I had. Read more: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/83252/287465.aspx#287465 .

I update very frequently, at least once every two weeks. And whenever something that's suppose to be working isn't anymore.

And yes, JHi, it is the exact same problem you had. The flash settings would just disappear for no reason and refuse to return. I got it to work a few minutes after I started this thread, but refrained from posting the method since the windows didn't look the same when I tried to replicate it.

The delete tip on the last page of the tips and tricks guide sound like the perfect solution (link below).

Thanks for directing me to that thread, JHi!

I am having this exact same error and have followed the instructions on both links and yet I am still getting the same error.

Displayed in the Console

C28xx: Flash Programmer: Missing Flash Programming Settings. C28xx: Flash Programmer: Error erasing Flash memory. C28xx: Flash Programmer: Missing Flash operation option. Operation cancelled. C28xx: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0x3f2000 on Page 0 of Length 0x25c Cannot write to target

Are there any other recommendations for restoring the flash settings.

Delete the target configuration file from your project (.ccxml) and then re-link the configuration file to the project.

If that doesn't work, create a new target configuration file and switch between the two. Hope that helps out.

I tried that this morning, but just tried again with no luck...

Did you also delete the cache files and targetdb.dat as described in the last page of the Tips and Tricks document?

I also have similar issue ... updated my ccs4 and now I am getting this error.

Tried all things discussed above but no luck.

My code composer is about a week or so outdated, but this method has been working for me consistently.

1. Clean project.

2. Clean Debug Cache - Right Click on the project, Click "Debug..." and then delete every debug session.

3. Close Code Composer.

4. Delete the 'Debug' directory in the project folder on your hard disk. While you're deleting this directory, make sure the '.launches' directory is empty.

Now load composer and you should be fine. In the rare case that this doesn't work: Repeat steps 1 to 4 and follow it with:

Launch TI Debugger, Connect to Target, and then use the flash tools to erase the flash.

These steps have been working for me consistently, hope they do the job for you.

Didn't work for me, it seems like its not able to find the path for  "FlashAPIInterface28335V2_10.out

Hi,

I got the exact problem on 28027 device.

After I upgraded CCSv4.1 to  Version: 4.2.3.00004 and restarted it, I got the following messages

I tried many things but still cannot make it work. Any one knows the solution? Thank you.

Keith,

 - Create a new folder name "flashAlgorithms"  in these folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ccsv4

- copy file "FlashAPIInterface2802xV2_00.out" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\DebugServer\drivers and paste that to the new folder you created C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\C2000\flashAlgorithms

These worked for me. Hope it works for you.

Thanks,

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

Thank you very much. It works now.

I followed your instructions and it went through smoothly.

Thanks again.

This trick worked for me (had to erase the flash also)
