Part Number: TMS320F280025C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi

I am working on a project, 2 MCU A/B are communication between other each. Is there are mean to run 2 CCS to debug a firmware running on A and B in same laptop. I don't want to use 2 computers

Thanks

    You can run two separate instances of CCS. You just need to specify different workspaces for each instance

    Note that it may also possible to use one running CCS instance to debug both MCUs also. This would be a type of multicore debugging:

    You would need to create one target configuration for both MCUs. Assuming they are using separate debug connections, you may be able to specify multiple connection types in the same target configuration file:

    Hi

    I am using ,mac os. It is found that CCS cannot run two separate instances. Please advise how to run 2 instances of CCS in Mac OS.

    Regarding to other method for multi-core. I still have a question. In the demo. It is one project for 2 core. However, in my application, it is 2 projects. How to start 2 debug session for 2 separated projects. Please advise.

    Thanks

    You should be able to run two separate instances. The key is that you MUST use completely different workspace folders for each one. Also note that both instances of CCS cannot use the same debug probe atthe same time. It is assumed that you have a spearate debug probe for each MCU. Is that the case?

    You can start a manual debug launch and then specify different programs for each core. For an example of a manual launch, please see:

    Note in the video above, I load the same program for both cores. But you can also load separate programs for each core.

    Thanks

    One more thing to consider with macOS: Note if you already have CCS running, you won't be able to launch a new instance by double-clicking on the desktop icon again. That will just switch the context back to the eixsting running CCS instance. You will need to explicitly launch a new ccstudio instance. I'm not a mac user so I'm not sure what the best way to do this, though I was able to do this by opening a terminal and explicitly run the ccstudio executable inside the CCS installation directory. This opened a separate CCS instance from the one that was already running

    I have used terminal to execute CCS. It is same as double click the icon
