TMS320F28P650SK: CCS20.3.0 ISSUE. GEL Expression: OnReset(0) BUG MAYBE.

Part Number: TMS320F28P650SK

Hi guys, everytime I build and flash my ASM program CCS20.3.0 brings up two requesters and it remains there untill I hit the cancel buttons.

The two requesters is: GEL Expression: On(Reset(0) and the other is GEL Expression: OnTargetConnect()

CCS just waits here and does nothing until I choose the Cancel buttons. Once I choose the cancle button sometimes it goes and flashes my code (without errors) and sometimes another requester pops up with GEL Expression: OnReset(0). Then when I choose Cancel AGAIN CCS erases my chip and downloads my ASM code. After that my chip and ASM code is working fine.

What is GEL Expression and how do I turn it off.

Please let me know as this is giving me a viscious hedache.

Thanks guys, hope to hesr from you soon.

Peter

 

  • Peter, 

    GEL file is an initialization script which runs when a CCS debug session is launched.   It is used to setup the memory map and clocks for the CCS Debugger to work properly. 

    For F28P65x, the GEL file is named 'f28p65x_cpu1.gel' and it is located in the CCS directory at <CCSInstallDir>\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel folder.

    Is the issue that you are facing repeatable?  Can you try with a different project/ binary file ?

    or you can launch the debug session, erase the memory  and then load the code?

    Best Regards

  • Hi Siddharth, sorry for the late reply. Yes it is repeatable. Everytime I DEBUG or FLASH I get the GEL requesters. I'm using a MAC by the way. OS 15.7.2. I'll create another new project because I only have one project and I'll see if I get the same problems. I'll let you know. Thanks for the reply. Slight smile
