CCSTUDIO: Launching Debugger hangs in debug session

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL,

I am using CCS 8.3.1  with Connected Launchpad EK-TM4C1294XL.

When I try to debug my project , it hangs during configuring debugger. Some time back on the advice from a forum, I created a new workspace and imported project into it. This worked OK for about a week and now again I get the same problem in the new work space. I created another new workspace but the problem remains. This is quite frustrating as I am unable to debug my code.

LM Flash programmer has no problem in down loading the .bin file. But I would like to debug my project to solve some critical bugs.

Can some one help please.

  • Hello,

    Note that CCS 8.3.1 is quite old and no longer supported. I would recommend updating you CCS version if it is an option for you.

    If you need to stay on this version, please provide more details about the hang. Does it it happen right when you are trying to start a debug session? I assume by hang, the IDE is non-responsive and the ccstudio application must be force terminated? What host OS and conenction type are you using?

    Thanks

  • Hi Ki,

    My CCS 8.3.1  is on Windows 10 64 bit machine. Yes the hang occurs right when we click debug button. The window showing Launching debugger ( this may take a few minutes at first launch) appears and does not go away till I force close the CCS.

    The problem got solved magically as below:

    I tried to save the debug log to send you by going to Help->CCSSupport and cleared the logs and set the folder to save the log file. Surprisingly the debug is working  as expected after this. I wonder what is the connection between clearing the logs and debug launch hanging.

    Thank you.
