MSP432-DEBUGGERS: Cloud CCS Debugger not working with MSP432P4111

Randall Fowler

Tool/software:

The MSP432P4111 is an inactive controller used in a class setting for the last several years. When attempting to debug a project in the cloud, "Debug session initialization failed. See console for details." is given without a message to the console. We enabled the logger in the TI Cloud Agent, and we were viewing an error relating to opening the xml file for the MSP432P4111. If we are unable to resolve this issue, we can encourage students to download the desktop version of CCS, but many students won't be using this IDE again. Please help resolve this issue as we like to use the cloud software for ease of use.

MSP432P is indeed EOL'ed for quite a few years. This device is not recommended for new designs but I understand you are using this device in a university course for embedded designs. Have you tried the standalone CCS instead of the cloud version? I strongly doubt that the the latest cloud CCS will support this device.

The microcontroller has worked fine with the cloud version until recently, and older versions of the TI Cloud Agent with Windows 10 seems to work. Standalone works fine, but this is not our preference for the students to use. It just seems that the newest version of TI Cloud Agent wasn't tested with this controller, but we would still like to find a solution for using the cloud CCS. This issue persists with Windows 11 and newest version of MacOS.

I've also attached 3 log files above, but only the first log file is previewed on this forum page.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply as I'm currently on travel. I will forward your question to our CCS experts for assistance.

Hi Randall,

If you do a manual launch using the target configuration view to create a new target configuration file for MSP432p4111 and then right-click on the file and then select "start project-less debug session", does that work? Can you manually connect to the CPU and load the program for the project?

Thanks
