About controlSUIT

Had the same today... Re-installing did not work. I deleted the folder c:\TI\controlSUITE and then re-installed. But this time I used the offline installer, not the web installer. Now it works.

Hello,
I got the same problem after I updated my ControlSuite using Updater that mentioned in ControlSuite (this is for the latest ControlSuite)
I was thinking maybe because I updated my ControlSuite while also working on CCS and the ControlSuite couldn't fully update. Don't know whether this was the case.

Best regards,
Maria

Hi Chris

Before update I had ControlSUITE v3.2.9 installed. (All TI things are installed in default folder C:\ti\ so ControlSUITE is inC:\ti\controlSUITE)

I then manually checked for updates by selecting the start menu item found in Start -> Texas Instruments -> controlSUITE -> Update controlSUITE. I started this link as Administrator because otherwise I get a "access denied" error at start. A update was found, I clicked to update controlSUITE.

While updating I worked with CCSv6, on same day some MS updates were installed. System is Win7 Pro 64Bit.

I can reproduce following behavior:

• open the new controlSUITE (dont select anything on the left tree, just the top node) -> all ok.
• Open a 2nd controlSUITE -> it opens ok too.
• Close both
• open controlSUITE
• Navigate in the tree to open a pdf (example: Devices->Piccolo F2802x -> User Guides -> Serial Peripheral Interface SPI
• I let it open in a separate pdf viewer (pdf X-change by tracker software).
• Now open 2nd controlSUITE -> it opens with empty window UI like it did after update.

So perhaps it was not a update issue but a pdf / internet explorer issue.

To open the pdf in a separate pdf viewer I configured my pdf viewer like this:

pdf x-change viewer: do not show in browser (so if I click on a pdf in Internet Explorer I get the message "Do you want to open or save the ..pdf.." I get this message in a small window in controlSUITE too, and can select 'open'). It opens in a separate window which is much more comfortable than the controlSUITE window.

Ohoh, while writing this post I played around with pdf viewer settings.. Now I have the same problem. controlSUITE opens always without UI. I will restart my laptop and update this message after... Perhaps this is because controlSUITE wants to open last pdf at startup (which is not really a cool new feature imho).

Update:

After rebooting my laptop, controlSUITE still does not open normally, just the empty user interface. Setting the pdf viewer to show or not show in browser doesn't matter... So this is not a update issue...

Update 3:

Deleting C:\ti\controlSUITE\eclipse\workspace\.metadata

does solve my issue

Hi sir,

I can't solve the problem with deleting "Metadata" file, Os is windows 10 64bit and the control suite is the last version(29 of september 2017). please help me for solving the problem.
