TMS320F28377S: GUI Composer v2 runs inconsistency

Part Number: TMS320F28377S


Hello

Currently, I have a project in GUI Composer v2 for my microcontroller. My target communication setting is set to XDS, and I have a target program set that I wrote in CCS v6.2. From the target communication settings, I have tested the connection and GUI Composer shows that everything connects fine. When I attempt to run my program, it does not always run. In fact, i'd say it runs half the time I try to run my program. If it doesn't work, I typically press the reset button on my microcontroller or run my program through CCS first, then I try to run my program from GUI composer and usually it works. Today GUI Composer hardly worked at all. My graph would populate at first, and then it wouldn't update and I wasn't able to interact with my interface. Even when I download the program as a stand alone app, it works sometimes. Can anyone explain this?

If this makes a difference, I did have to delete a .gel file located in the following directory due to the fact that my project had a RAM Build Configuration.

<your user folder>\AppData\Local\Texas Instruments\TICloudAgent\loaders\ccs_base\emulation\gel

Thank You

    I downloaded CCSv7 and attempted to export and run my GUI Project in CCS Desktop View. My Program will still not run in CCSv7 with the GUI application open. In debug mode, while i have the GUI application open, my program will not run and my expressions window will stop updating. After I close the GUI application, without terminating the debug session, my program will start to run again.

    Can anyone at TI help with this?

    Just as an update, I found out that when I run my program through GUI Composer and my widgets don't update with data from my device, the program is still physically running on my microprocessor. My program regulates 2 volts and delivers it to a load on my C2000 BoosterPack. When I run the application from GUI composer and my graphs don't update, I can still measure 2 volts across my load. Along with this, when I input in my GUI application that I want 3 volts delivered to the load, I was able to measure and see the voltage rise from 2 to 3, but my GUI application doesn't update at all. For some reason it can process my inputs and communicate with the micro, but it doesn't seem to have any output communication due to the graphs never changing.
