RTOS/MSP432P401R: Error opening .cfg file with XGCONF

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

When trying to open the hello.cfg file in the hello example RTOS project, I can't open the file with the XGCONF GUI. When I try to open the configuration file, I receive an error:

"Unable to find package xconfig_hello"

When I was trying to solve my problem, I found the e2e post in [1]. I am having the same issue. The solution in [1] is to delete the project's .config directory. I have tried that, and it does not help. I have verified that there is a xconfig_hello directory in the .config directory, and that when I delete the .config directory, and then try opening XGCONF, the directory is remade.

Any advice on how to proceed? I can open the .cfg file directly with the text editor. It looks like inside it is all JSON. Is the JSON documented? If so, where is this documentation at? I can't seem to find it.

I am running CCSv7, recently reinstalled, on OSX.

Thanks,

J

    Does the application build? I'm trying to narrow down where the issue is. Can you please give the exact CCS version and a screen-shot of the Project's Properties->General->Main/RTSC/Products tabs (note: you may not have all of them). For example, here is one of them:

    Thanks for your help.

    The project does build.

    The version information is:

    Version: 7.1.0.201703152000

    Build id: N201703152000 

    I've posted a screenshot below.

    Thanks.

    James,
    can you attach the content of the file .log in the directory .metadata in your workspace? The best way to do it is to close CCS, delete the file .log, reopen CCS and try to start XGCONF. After you see the error, open .log and attach the content. That way, .log will only contain relevant log messages.
    You can find the location of your workspace under Code Composer Studio->Preferences->General->Workspace. There is a label Workspace Path in the middle of that window.

    James,
    I replicated the problem and it looks similar to e2e.ti.com/.../579694
    Your best bet is to download and install 3.32.0 from here and use it instead of 3.32.01 downloads.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    1614.CCSlog.logSasha,

    Thanks for your help. I'll try downloading the alternate version of XDCTools and see if that fixes the problem. 

    I've gone ahead and attached the .log file as previously requested.

    Thanks,

    James

    Hi Sasha,

    I tried XDCtools 3_32_00_06 as suggested and everything opens now.

    For those playing at home, the exact process I used to download XDCtools 3_32_00_06 was:
    1. Download XDCtools Core without a JRE, from link downloads.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html.
    2. Unzip the .zip file downloaded.
    3. Move the unzipped file to location where CodeComposer is installed. (For me, this is in /Applications/ti.) There should already be a folder with a version of xdcTools there.
    4. Open CodeComposer. A pop up will open asking if you want to install new tools, select "Yes" or whatever the default, affirmative sounding answer is.
    5. Right click on the project and select "Properties". A screen should pop up. Click RTSC and then select the new version of XDCTools in the "XDCTools version:" dropdown.

    Thanks again for the help.

    James

    James,
    thanks for listing these steps. But, for completeness, I would like to mention an alternative approach.
    It's not necessary to unzip an XDCtools installation to a specific location. You can go to Code Composer Studio->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Products, and click on Install. Then browse to any location and select an XDCtools installation.
