CCS/MSP430F5438: Unfamiliar CCS error message

Part Number: MSP430F5438
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGYTRACE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I get a similar message when Launching my application

An internal error occurred during: "Launching myapplication".  com/ti/dvt/energytrace/af/PowerActivity

And when I go to the preferences page

Windows -> Preferences > Code Composer Studio -> Advanced Tools -> EnergyTrace Technology

"Unable to create the selected preference page.   An error occurred while automatically activating bundle com.ti.dvt.energytrace (456)"

I've done two reinstalls of CCS to fight this issue.  

Any suggestions?

  • Please see item 7 in this page. Using a new workspace should resolve the error. 

  • The specific problem had something to do with a corrupted workspace, or too little space left on the virtual drive the VMware instance of Windows had. I did some heavy trimming, both in my Host OS (my Mac OS laptop), then in that VMware instance of Windows. This included deleting most c:/TI directories (which could be reloaded), and reloading all the TI pieces. Including refreshing the CCS 7.4 (although not trying to move beyond that).

    Finally, when I reinstalled my workspace from backups, and GIT, it compiled cleanly. Whew! A couple of days lost on that. But I'm happy I'm back developing.
