Tool/software:
I was using F29x processor with CCS 20.0.2 and at one point it got stuck. I had to close it. When I reopened it, I started getting the following error dialog box related to ccs-server:

Now, I am unable to load any .out files to the processor. The load program option is in grey and cannot be selected, and the window always has the "Code Composer Studio - Initializing..." all the time. I tried restarting and the issue persisted. This help page does not have this particular error information and any other steps in the document that I tried did not help. 10.1. Installation — Code Composer Studio 20.1.0 Documentation
I have uninstalled the ccs software and I will have to reinstall the ccs now. If the issue still persists, I will update here accordingly, but is there any better way to deal with this?
