CCS/TIDM-1007: Solution Adapter not Working

Part Number: TIDM-1007
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE, POWERSUITE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm trying to use the Solution Adapter to import source code from the TIDM-1007 reference design. When I get to the screen shown below, I try to click on the button for "F28004x" but nothing happens.

Some background:

I previously had issues with my CCS 7.4 install so I uninstalled and installed again with McAfee disabled, using the offline (.zip) installer. Then I installed the GUI Composer Runtime and C2000Ware Digital Power SDK.

    Hi,

    Interesting; I am able to import the project just fine here in my environment. I have installed CCSv7.4.0 and the same Digital Power SDK version 1.03.00.00. 

    In this case, I can't really pinpoint a specific root cause for this issue. When you installed CCSv7.4 and opened the Resource Explorer, were you prompted to update it using the instructions in the page below?

    http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_tirex_update.html 

    In addition to that, did you run a different workspace and see if hte issue persists? I wonder if a lingering issue may be getting in the way of a proper project import. 

    The troubleshooting guide below has additional tips to troubleshoot both the TI Resource Explorer and the IDE itself.

    Oh, and one last detail: the project requires a compiler that is newer than the one installed with CCSv7.4. 

    Regards,

    Rafael

    How do I make sure I have the correct compiler installed?

    To answer your question: Yes, I did follow the linked TIRex installation procedure. IIRC, I don't think it prompted me to install it until I clicked a Troubleshooting link. 

    I've tried both switching and creating new workspaces, but neither helped. It did prompt to install the powersuite in the new workspace, though.

    I did notice that the powersuite and Digital Power SDK images are missing in TIREX (see below). Not sure why, but it could be a clue.

    OK, I found where to install the C2000 Compiler from CCS App Center. However, the DigitalPower SDK and powerSUITE icons are still blank as shown above, and the Solution Adapter still does nothing when I click the button shown in my first post.

    Hi,

    Interesting; I have the icons on these two products. In this case, I wonder if there is some sort of cache mechanism influencing your ability to properly instantiate the product. In this case, can you try the troubleshooting tips shown in the section "Resource Explorer" of the Troubleshooting CCS page below?

     http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_troubleshooting.html 

    Other than that, I am not entirely sure what else could be influencing this behaviour, short of something on the host itself that is preventing the javascript from running properly (all these buttons run underlying javascript code).  

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    OK, I finally got it to import the project. What I did was uninstall CCS, delete all CCS files and workspaces, and reinstall everything. When that didn't fix it, I finally tried "offline mode" within the Resource Explorer. Only then could I finally get it to launch into PowerSuite.

    Perhaps McAfee was blocking Resource Explorer from working in "cloud" mode?

    Anyway, Thanks Rafael for your help!
