Part Number: MSP430G2231
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2353

Support Path: /Tools & software/Help me with an issue/Design Kits / Evaluation Modules / Boards/Software issue/

To whom it may concern

Dials with the GUI Composer have been created.

Dials beeing updated only when programm is halted. While running through there is no updating.

Moreover Installed Gui Composer and extracted files in the webapps directory. (C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps)

On clicking the launcher.exe file nothing happens or sometimes an error message (something with missing webapp) shows up.

GUI composer on cloud does not support the device.

Could you provide some assistance so that one option may work?

Kind regards

Joshua

    Hi Joshua,
    Were you prompted to install the TI Cloud Agent?

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../TI_Cloud_Agent Ensure you have this installed and see if it fixes your problem!

    yes, after a few hours it is working now

    However I tried the MSP uart_demo

    on my pc UART com 7 is set properly from pc side
    gui_demo shows an error (1. 2. make sure a compatible target serial monitor loaded an running)

    I can run the gui within composer but not as a stand alone app

    what additional settings I have to do at the demo software so that gui is running with?

    Hi Joshua,

    Re: the error code "make sure a compatible target serial monitor is loaded and running"

    - If you are using 'XDS Debug Port / Target Monitor' for target communications (also referred to as the 'program model'), your target code needs to include a 'monitor' that the GCv2 App can send read / write memory commands to in order to bind widget properties to the values of global variables in your target code.    Please see http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ProgramModelUart_GuiComposer for more information about this monitor.

    Re: I can run the gui within composer but not as a stand alone app:

       The best way to generate a stand alone version of your GCv2 App is to use File / Publish / To Gallery.  This will generate a 'tile' for your application on https://dev.ti.com/gallery/  that you can click on to run your app in your browser.  It also provides a  button that you can click on to download a proper installer for your application.  This installer will take care of installing the GCv2 Runtime that provides the infrastructure needed to run your applicaiton on your computer.

    The File / Export / as Standalone App menu creates a zip file that can be unzipped into the root folder of the GCv2 Runtime that the Gallery app installer installs for you.   Without the runtime, however, it can't run on its own.  

    I've filed a bug report that we need to improve the usability of the File / Export / as Stanalone app menu option.  

    Regards,

      Brian
