Debugger hangs on loading TM4C1294XL Launchpad

I am currently evaluating the TM4C1294 process for use in an upcoming project using the Launchpad for it.  I am debugging using the included in circuit debugger on the launchpad board.  When working with any of the example projects or projects that I have created, the debugger hangs for over 30 seconds on the Launching Debug Session step.  The progress bar is full and says "Launching 100%" but the system hangs at that point.  After 30 seconds or so the debugger continues loading as expected and runs fine from there.

I have tried debug the same project and code from IAR and the debugger loads in a few seconds so there is no issue with the board or debugger as far as I can tell.

Is there anything that can be done to speed up the debugger or is this a known issue with these boards?

If it helps I am running this on CCSv5.5.0 on Windows 8.1.

Thanks,

Patrick

    Hello Patrick,

    What is the size of the image being loaded? The speed cannot be changed for the ICDI on the launchpad.

    Suggest that you look at two areas:

    a)  Might you have changed any of the factory - IDE settings - tying your MCU to the IDE?   Even a subtle "miscue" may trigger such delay.

    It's very important that you, "Test & try to repeat this behavior with a "pure, factory supplied project - ideally one of the smaller, simpler ones."

    b) Have you a separate MCU board?  Should the issue persist across two such boards - I'd bet on some IDE mis-setting.  If the issue clears w/a fresh board - look for a board gremlin.

    This happens with any project that I try to load to the board including the bitband example that is < 30K or so.

    Hello Patrick,

    I think then the IDE is the problem (as cb1 also mentioned). Might I suggest uninstalling CCSv5, deleting all of its contents in history, cache, temp, etc... and checking it with a CCSv6 or fresh copy of CCSv5.5 on your machine. Also did you check the same with a Win-7 machine?
