LAUNCHXL-F280039C: SYSCONFIG not saving board ID

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280039C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hi,

I have started developing using LAUNCHXL-F280039C based of the demo project which blinks the user LEDs depending on an ADC measurement. Using CCS  Version: 12.0.0.00009

I want to configure the device using SysConfig applet. 

I created the base file by adding a file with syscfg extension. It allowed opening and all the configuration is available, so everything appears to be good. When I select my board in the device view (Device view-->Switch-->Board--> LAUNCHpad F280039C) it allows selecting the board and there appears to be something going on as it shows some pin mapping:

which is correct and when I save the document it does some migration process and it appears to eb properly saved as the * in the file name disappears and no errors are reported. However if then I close the file and reopen it, the board configuration has been lost and it shows no board:

Is there any step I'm missing during the process?

Thanks and regards

  • Hi Nicolas,

    We have a training video that showcases how to use the SWITCH button within SysConfig, which can be found here: https://training.ti.com/c2000-sysconfig-migrate-c2000-devices-under-10-minutes


    Because of the way CCS interacts with the SysConfig tool, there are a few changes that need to be made in the CCS project before you can migrate devices with SysConfig. Please let me know if you have any other questions

    Regards,

    Peter

  • Explanation for other users with the same issue:

    CCS project properties have preference over sysconfig file and thus this properties must be removed first by going to project properties-->Build-->Sysconfig-->Basic options and remove all the data in the text boxes at the bottom. In the video they also went to the Miscellaneous section and removed everything but it was empty for me already. After this, the sysconfig file saves the data.

  • Glad you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for providing a description for others that might find this thread!
