CC2538 IDE User's Guide CCS Problem

Mladen Miljus

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2538

I am a begineer with CCS and CC2538, so I tried to follow the descriptions in this user guide. For example, in chapter 5.4, I followed and completed all the instructions, apart from the last one:

To test target connection with the debugger and flash download, right click the project name in the Project Explorer and select ‘Debug As->1 Code Composer Debug Session’.

All I see is Debug As->Debug Configurations.

I've tried some other things, but I have not been able to debug and always get a "The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches."

Also, for example, in chapter 5.2, I don't see the Blink LED in Project templates and examples->Other Examples (I have checked the folders, and have found the blinky.c file)

Doe's anybody have a suggestion? I suppose I am missing something silly, but I have no idea what.

Thanks.

Hi Mladen,

could you possibly post a screen capture? Are you able to debug if you simply hit the debug button? This is the button that looks like an insect and is green. Does your project have a ccxml file associated with it (a target configuration).

Also I would try a built in example first.

Best Regards,

Lisa

This is what I get when I hit the debug button. I associated CC2538SF53.ccxml, as shown in the screen shot.

Best regards,

Mladen

Hi Mladen,

do you get that with all projects and workspaces? Ie, have you tried a fresh workspace or a simple built in example? Also, in your target configuration, do you know what settings you have?

Best Regards,
Lisa

No, I haven't tried other stuff yet. I'll try over the weekend and reply back. Thank's for your quick answers.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I got an unexpected holiday, so in fact I only tried it out today. I fixed the problem by reinstalling CCS (not using it as an Eclipse plugin). After that, the guide could be followed completely (debug was accomplished successfully). Thank you.
