CCS: CCS7.0, CCS 6.2 crashes when connecting to Beaglebone Black AM335x PRU using an XDS100v2 compatible JTAG emulator

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have two fresh installations of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using VirtualBox. I've installed the CCSv7 and CCSv6.2 on both machines, respectively. I've also installed the latest ti linux sdk on both machines. My goal is to get through the PRU Training content. I don't get very far...

In the toggle_led demo, at the point where I connect to the CortxA8, and after the PRU_CAPE.gel is run, when I try to connect to PRU0, CCS immediately crashes. This is persistent. I've followed some of the other threads here and attempted to delete the .metadata file, but that doesn't work either.

Not sure what the deal is. Really frustrating. These are fresh installations with latest updates installed.

  • Hi,

    This is an outstanding bug for PRU cores that happens only on Ubuntu 16.04/64 and affects the CCS releases you are working. This is registered as CODEGEN-1941 and its fix is under way.

    Unfortunately there is no workaround at this time.

    Please apologize for the inconvenience,
    Rafael
  • I have had brief success at times with the .metadata delete with ccsv6.2. Can you suggest another Linux environment which is known to work consistently? Do you know if Ubuntu 16.10/64 works?

    I did try another virtualbox yesterday with 32-bit Ubuntu 16.04 and also had the same trouble. It seems the Linux sdk will not install on 32-bit linux either, so I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.
  • I observe the same bug on my fedora 25 with CCSv7. Is there any fix/workaround yet?
