EK-TM4C1294XL: Frozen?

Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL

Not sure, if this belongs in the Microcontroller or the Tools area, but her goes...

Every now and then when I am debugging my code, the CCS seems to drop connection to the on-board debugger.

A reboot of the laptop sometimes helps, mostly not. Same goes for reuploading my code.

What I have found working, however, is:

Upload a different code (UDP_echo) and then reupload my own.

But is that the only way?

And why?

  • Hello Ja Hv,

    I have seen that happen occasionally myself. One thing I would recommend is to delete the Debug folder for that project so you can re-compile from scratch. I do sometimes need to upload another code base to get things working again but typically it's deleting the debug folder and then re-compiling that gets me back online.

    I don't think a laptop restart will ever really do anything of use. At best it was the CCS reboot that helped.

    On rare occasion I also find unlocking the board via LM Flash Programmer helps too. Just another thing you can try.

    As for why it happens, I don't really know. Could be an issue with the ICDI interface or with CCS.
