CCS/LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Followup on debugging executable not build with CCS

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

for various reasons, I want to setup a project that also contains some targets for C2000 microcontroller (F28379D and F28377S) using cmake. With the help of the documented Project Creating manuals, I was able to setup a cmake project that supports both chips and I was able to create a first binary. I was able to upload that binary, unfortunately it is not working and I have to debug it not.

Here (https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/888388?tisearch=e2e-quicksearch&keymatch=gdb

  • Hello,

    in CCS it is possible to import a project based on a make file as follows:

    File -> import -> C/C++ -> Existing Code as Makefile Project

    Regards

  • Yes, I'm aware, that one can import an existing make based project into Eclipse. I've tried that route earlier this day (and was even able to build from Eclipse after adding a path for gmake) but I was not able to start the debugger. Now I'm reading through the Processor-Wiki to get some clue about the underlying debugger and if it would be possible to use it without Ecliplse (https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debug_Handbook_for_CCS).

    Do you think it's a predicate to be able to build the targets to be debugged from within Eclipse?

    I tried to use CCS to create a Target Configuration and as the used chips where not listed, I've updated CCS, which then failed with Java Exceptions. Now I'm able to select the used Chip, but adding the existing make file project results now in a not openable project (see screenshot).

    best regards,

    Torsten

  • Deleting the workspace and adding the project again into a new, fresh workspace seems to work around the bug above. In the meantime, I've managed to start the debugger without adding a project to the workspace.
