[CCS for OS X] unable to add TIRTOS Mailbox or Queue in cfg

I'm using CCS 6.1.1.00027 for OS X and am trying to add TIRTOS Mailbox or Queue to the cfg. Neither works. Adding other TIRTOS objects, like tasks, works as expected. 

On case of Mailbox or Queue, neither the "Add" button more the right-click context menu "New Queue" work. No error is displayed and the OS X console also does not show anything related to this issue. 

Is this a known limitation in the latest CCS Beta for OS X?

    Hi pixbroker,
    This is a known issue, and is not specific to OS X. Can you work around this problem by adding the mailbox to the cfg script file, instead of using the graphical configuration tool? Here's an example that I took from the BIOS 'static' example .cfg file:

    /* ======== Using the Mailbox Module ======== */
    /* Create a Mailbox and manipulate Instance parameters */
    var mbxParams = new Mailbox.Params;
    mbxParams.heap = Program.global.heap0;
    Program.global.mbx0 = Mailbox.create(8, 2, mbxParams);
    /* Create a Mailbox using default Instance parameters */
    Program.global.mbx1 = Mailbox.create(16, 4);

    Best regards,
    Janet

    Hi pixbroker,

    It turns out (according to the bug description), that you can just add the line:
    xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.knl.Mailbox');
    to your configuration script. Then the graphical configuration tool will allow you to add a mailbox. Hopefullly, no need to add the mailbox create code directly to your script.

    Best regards,
    Janet
