Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGYTRACE, CONTROLSUITE

Hello,

I have this LAUNCHXL-F28377

 I want to compile and load a project example from control suite however this message appear related to energy trace.

When I go to window>> preferences>> advanced tools>> energy trace this appears:

Unable to create the selected preference page.
An error occurred while automatically activating bundle com.ti.dvt.energytrace (422).

    Hi Enetz,

    Energy Trace is only available on MSP430 and MSP432 devices.

    You will need to use other methods to measure the power consumption of the C2000.


    Thank you,
    Brett

    Hello Brett,

    The problem is that when I try to debug the project it directly points this error, I'm assuming it works like other companies compiler: when you debug it also programs the board. And in this case the there seems to be a dependence between energy trace and programming the board I followed the instructions to project zero TI for LAUNCHXL-f28377 and that's how it is done.

    Could you please provide me with info bout programming my board?

    Hi Enetz,

    To confirm:
    You tried to follow the directions for project zero with the LAUNCHXL-f28377.  When you tried to compile the project, a message came up regarding energy trace.  Correct?

    Can you recheck you target configuration?
    Can you make sure that CCS is updated? (Help->Check for Updates)


    Thank you,
    Brett

    The CCS is already full updated
    The target is set correctly.
    I will share what I did however this does NOT solve the problem entirely.
    Uninstall CCS 6 ultimate version and install the previous version.
    First of all Energy trace is now working it let me configure the XDL100 connection.
    Load the led and debug.
    The code example is wrong there is no GPIO31 it should be GPIO13.
    Brett could you please tell me how to run this demo when the board is not connected to the computer or offline.
    The application works but not when it is disconnected from the computer or when powered externally it seems that the program is erased when disconnected.
    I'm sorry for changing the compiler like so Brett but it has been quite annoying installing and reinstalling for about 3 days and not seeing any functionality.

    Hi Enetz,

    Can you confirm that the below is the project that you are using?
    \controlSUITE\development_kits\LAUNCHXL-F28377S\LaunchPadDemo\


    Thank you,
    Brett

    Yes confirmed that's the tools I'm using.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    That project is designed to run from flash, so I do not believe the issue is related to software.

    Can you check the bootmode and TRSTn switches to see if they set for Get-Mode? (section 5.3 and page 13)
    http://www.ti.com/lit/sprui25

    Get-Mode is, by default, boot to flash mode.


    Thank you,
    Brett

    Yes I have checked the bootmode the switches are all up to allow correct debugging.

    To run the Serial application that shows the ADC value then the switches should be up up down.

    Right next to the project this appears: Active-CPURAM.

    I followed this instructions:

    Hi Enetz,

    I think the fact that your project shows a "CPURAM" configuration next to the project name is a clue. 

    When myself and another engineer import the project from the following directory, we only see a "Debug" build configuration.
    \controlSUITE\development_kits\LAUNCHXL-F28377S\LaunchPadDemo\

    Something seems off.  Can you double-check?


    Thank you,
    Brett

    Yes I'm sorry for the late reply.

    I solved it yesterday , I changed to CPU FLASH now I'm able to take the application I load elsewhere.

    The only thing that remains and I think it would be great to check is the latest version of CCS because I downloaded it to another laptop and is still missing the energy trace application, it's like if it was never installed.

    But this ends this threat I believe.

    Thanks a lot for the assist Brett.
