CCS/TMS320F28069M: Instaspin Uiversal GUI v1.05 does not start (com.ti.gui.composer.webserver)

I have a similar setup to this except with a 054M control card.

I cannot get ANY of the guis to work with this setup. Docs all seem to be wrong here.

Anyone know why?

Could you try re-downloading and re-installing GC Runtime from GUI Composer WIki? There should be a slightly newer version in windows section that resolves a missing dependency issue. It is called GUI Composer Runtime 6.2.0.1 (CCS v6.2.0):

Martin,

Thanks for the reply. Back on this project.

I downloaded this and installed it.

It seems to have blown away my previous install of the Instaspin Univesal GUI 1.05...It this correct. Webapps folder just has a modem app which I care not about.

If I try and re-install this, it tells me it is already installed..so will this then erase the previous install..

This all seems to be going round in circles...Burning a ridiculous amount of UNPAID time on this...

Ken,

you are right, the installation of GUI Composer removes the InstaspinUniversalGUI. You would need to save the webapps before the new installation. Then restore (copy) it to c:\ti\universalgui\webapps. Let me share it in case you missed this step. Unfortunately I cannot test it as I do not see the issue on my machine. But please let me know about the outcome on your machine.

Thanks,

Ok I got the universal giu installed correctly and I have it spliced into CCS and it runs.

Still having trouble getting one of the labs to actually run with it..seems the vars are in red some link is broken here, but making some progress.

I will try and figure it out.

Thanks for the help in getting this far

As a comment, there are WAY too many steps to complete and remember to get Eclipse to operate correctly, this is a nightmare compared to every other dev IDE I have used. Even the older Eclipse versions were not this bad...You really need to change this all out to a simpler, more cohesive ide environment, preferably one that looks the same on Windoze and Linux....just my 2C

Martin,

thanks for your suggestions. My customer has installed the GUI Composer Runtime 6.2.0.1 and as suggested restored the webapps in the appropriate directory.
Now the GUI starts up. However when he closes the GUI and restarts, a window briefly pops up and nothing more happens...

He has looked at the active processes in the Task Manager, and there are always three processes (cef_sub_process.exe, GUIComposer.exe, TICrashMonitor.exe) when starting the GUI.

Please advise.

Hi Ewald,
Would you be able to ask customer to collect some logging information? Link below contains instructions on how to collect a tracing log. PLease e-mail me the log file.

Thanks,

Hi Ewald,
Unfortunately, this log does not have useful information. Just as a test, would you be able to ask customer to run modem application that is part of GC runtime. I would like to check if you get the same behaviour with processes not exiting cleanly. The application is located in guicomposer\webapps\modem_m3 directory. You should be able to double click on executable to start it. Please note that instaspin Universal installer that is available online is slightly different and does not have this sample app. However, I believe customer has installed full GC Runtime.

We may need to have a remote debug session with webex to make further progress. Is this something that your customer is open to?
