CCS/TMS320F28335: GUI Composer v1 & Code Composer v6.2 or v9.3: GUI does not work if only connected to running target, i.e. not debugging

Hello,

I thought I was previously able to run a GUI Composer v1 GUI while just connected to a running target.  However, that doesn't seem to be working now, i.e there are red xs all over my gui (meaning the widgets are not connected to the running code).

The GUI runs ok while debugging the target.

Should I be able to run the GUI while CCS is just connected to a running target?

    How do you connect to running target? Are you connecting in real-time mode, so CCS attaches to the running target?

  • I right click on I select the on  the target configuration file in Target Configurations and select "launch selected configuration".  Then I right click on the debugger in the debug window and select "connect to target".

    After thinking about it for a little bit, I decided to start debugging with symbols only (no download).  That works.

  • The problem was caused by symbols not being available. 

    Is it possible to debug with symbols when connecting the other way, i.e. connecting through the debug window?
