TDA4VM: CRASH OF CODE COMPOSER STUDIO WHILE USING MEMORY BROWSER

Hello,

I assume you are using some version of CCS Eclipse based on your comments.

Mélanie Esteves said:

My hypothesis is that the address in the search bar is unreachable, which leads to the crash of CCS

I suspect you are not using a proper debugger memory map. I can reproduce the same behavior when I am not using a memory map and I try to browse an invalid address.

Mélanie Esteves said:

As a result, I'm interested in finding a way to delete the address that is saved by default in the Memory Browser.

Try deleting the workspace metadata cache: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_12.8.0/ccs_troubleshooting.html#clean-the-workspace-or-try-using-a-new-one

This worked for me.

Thanks

Hi Ki,

I tried deleting the workspace metadata cache as indicated in the link you gave me, specifically in part 9.4.3, "Clean the Workspace." However, it didn't solve my issue. I still have that address saved in the search bar of the memory browser window.

I also tried an alternative solution mentioned in that link: I switched off the workspace, imported my CCS project, debugged it, and then opened the memory browser. It crashed like every time.

I still don't understand why your solution doesn't fix my issue...

Hi Melanie,

Can you attach the crash dump files? You can view the location of dump files by opening the CCS Support dialog, click the Help -> CCS Support menu item. In the dialog, select the dump file entry in the list and click the View button.

Hi Patrick,

Here is the Debug Server Dum :

HI Melanie,

Can you zip up some of the recent dump files and attach it here?

Patrick

Hi Patrick, 

Yes sure

Hi Melanie,

The dump files don't provide useful information.

I also tired to delete the .metadata folder in my workspace, the memory browser does clear up the address for me and my entire IDE window layout is reset back to the default. Do you not see the IDE window reset the layout of the open views and editors back to default, as of you have have start CCS the first time.

Patrick

Hi Melanie,

Could you please also send us a Debug Server Log? It can be enabled in the same dialog that Patrick posted above. Enable it, then reproduce the crash and attach the log file here. Thanks for your help!

Oliver

Hello Melanie,

We still need a debug server log as requested by OliverP. Can you provide one? Please see the below page for more information on debug server logs:

Thanks

Hello Melanie,

Any update?

Hi Patrick, 

No, I don't see that after deleting the .metadata folder of the workspace

Mélanie

Mélanie,

Assuming that the issue still exists, can you provide the log requested by OliverP above?

Hi Ki, 

Here is the log containing the Debug Server Log

 Log Memory Browser.zip

Thank you for the attachment. I see dump files, eclipse and installation logs. However, I do not see a debug sever log. Note that a debug server log is not generated by default. It needs to be explicitly enabled first. Can you reproduce the issue with debug sever logging enabled and the provide that log?

Thanks

ki

I don't understand why the debug server log isn't there. I enabled as mentionned the debug server logging and then run the debug session, and then reproduced the crash... 

Can you check the location where the log was enabled and see if there is a log file there? This log can be valuable in debugging such issues.
