LAUNCHXL-F280039C: SysConfig Device Selection Every Time

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280039C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, C2000WARE

Tool/software:

After updating CCS to version 12.8.0 (from 12.7.1), every time I open SysConfig in a C2000 project, it will halt the loading and give me a pop up asking me to confirm the device I am using with my board. While this is minor, it becomes very annoying having to do this every time I load a SysConfig file. I hoped that the C2000Ware update 4 days ago would fix this issue at least with newer imported files, but I still have the same issue. I checked against other TI SDKs, and nothing else has a similar problem. A screenshot of the pop up is pasted below:

    Hi Ryan,

    Due to the device GPN updates between these versions of SysConfig, the GUI will always ask to confirm in such a pop-up. Once confirmed, it will not prompt you again.

    Aishwarya,

    The problem is that it always prompts me. Not just when I import/create a new project and open the SysConfig, but also any time I open an existing project's SysConfig problem. It's almost like it's not saving the selection I am making.

    Ryan,

    Can you verify that you have the right products (C2000Ware + SysConfig) in the CCS and CCS project properties? In Sysconfig board support, does the device information look correct? On my end, once I confirm the device info and save the file, it doesn't prompt me again. 

    Best Regards,

    Aishwarya

    Aishwarya,

    I checked where I believe the indicators of the correctly installed products are and it seems I have everything in order. Granted I'm rather new to CCS.

    When you go into a Sysconfig file, save some settings, exit the file, and reopen the file, are the settings as expected? Once I do this, it does not prompt me for the same file again, so I am not able to replicate what you're seeing. 

    Best Regards,

    When I modify SysConfig file settings (i.e. adding a GPIO pin), save, exit, and reopen, it gives me the Select Device prompt, but the settings I input before exiting are still saved (i.e. the GPIO pin config is still there).

    Just following up. I recently installed CCS Theia (after this problem has been occurring). SysConfig in Theia does not have a problem recalling what device I am using (i.e. the problem is not occurring in CCS Theia). Meanwhile, the problem is still not resolved in the standard CCS 12.8.0, so it's something strictly with that version of CCS. My solution for the time being is to use CCS Theia. Not idea since Theia doesn't support all products, but it will work.

    I am not sure that this is a CCS Eclipse vs CCS Theia issue. 

    When you select the specific device, that choice is saved in the .syscfg script.  However, if the board is also specified in the project properties, then those properties take precedence over what is saved in the .syscfg script.  This is why you are prompted every time. 

    We will submit a fix for this, but the near-term workaround is to remove the board specification in the project properties once you've selected the specific device.

    In CCS (Eclipse or Theia), that's available by right clicking on the project and choosing properties, navigating to Build->SysConfig->Basic Options and then removing the "board"

    Hey Darian.

    This was right on the money. Removing my project properties for the board fixed the issue.

    Thank you!
