Using CCS 5.1.0.09000 with XDC tools RTSC/XDCtools 3.22.04.46
Does anybody else have this issue? I have tried deleting my metadata folder and reimporting my projects: does not seem to help.
Steve,
Is this the only project where you cannot view the configuration file properly or are there others as well? Can you double-check with another RTSC project - either your own or one created using an example template? Is this a CCSv4 project imported into CCSv5 or one that was created new with CCSv5? Has this .cfg come up properly in the XGCONF editor previously or always been blank like this?
There is a related thread on the forums but in that case the user simply deleted the .cfg and copied one over from an example project and that opened up fine. It might help for us to examine your .cfg file. If you can attach it here, I can move the thread to the BIOS forum for the experts there to comment further.

"Is this the only project where you cannot view the configuration file properly or are there others as well"
Yes. This seems to be the only project. Though my coworkers have had a similar issue with others.
"Can you double-check with another RTSC project - either your own or one created using an example template"
Sure. Worked fine.
"Is this a CCSv4 project imported into CCSv5 or one that was created new with CCSv5"
I believe it was imported from CCSV4.
"Has this .cfg come up properly in the XGCONF editor previously or always been blank like this?"
Yes. The cfg has opened in CCS, just the other day. I did get update for the IDE since I last remember viewing the file.

This would work per above. But I don't want to have to rebuild our configuration from scratch due to a CCS bug.

Attached.

Do you recall what updates you did to CCS? That might help isolate/reproduce the issue.
I copied your .cfg file over to a empty RTSC project and was able to open it fine with XGCONF in both CCS 5.1.0.09000 and 5.1.1.00031, so there must be something in your set up, possibly that changed during the CCS update you did.
I'll move the thread over to the BIOS forum and see if the folks there have ideas on how to fix this.
Come to think of it the updates I installed were in response to this issue appearing. I was hoping that there was a bug fix in the updates for said problem. I had installed, manually, BIOS 6.3.4.39. So no updates to CCS prior to the issue.
Would you be willing to give the latest Beta build of CCS 5.2 a try? It is available for download here. You can install it side-by-side with your current installation (just install in a different folder), so nothing in your current version will be affected. Then you can try importing your project into a new workspace in CCS 5.2 and see if that helps. If something is indeed messed up in your installation that is causing problems with certain projects, this new version should hopefully resolve it. Let us know if this does not help.
I installed the beta CCS5.2: same result.
I poked around some more and by clicking "bios" under the "available products" and was able to view the "system overview" and navigate all the different BIOS modules from there. However, nothing shows in the outline view where I would add resources to the configuration (semaphores, mailboxes, etc). This is the case in both my working CCS install as well as the beta.
Steve,there are two things you can do to help us with debugging. The first is to open Error Log view. If it's not already open, you can open it with View->Other ...->Error Log. Once you open it, you'll see buttons in the upper right corner of the view. One of the buttons is "Open Log", which will open a text file. Please attach it.
Then, in the shortcut for CCS5 you can add the option -console. It will open a command line window where some additional related messages could show up. Please post the content of that window too.

Steve,the error message from the console means that the package directory used by Xgconf somehow ended up being corrupted. It's a temporary package, which you can remove and will be recreated. That should bring Xgconf back to life.I'll explain how to remove it but before you remove it, please zip it up and post it here so I can debug it further.
First, you have to find your project on the disk. If you are not sure where it is, click on Project->Properties->Resource. You'll find the field "Location" there, and it points to the directory on the disk. Go to that directory and you'll see a directory .config. Zip it up and post it here, and then remove it. Reopen the CFG script in Xgconf and check if it helps.

That indeed fixed it. Let me know if you need any more info to help debug how it got corrupted.
