PGA970: Debugger stuck at launching 100%

This is what CCS looks like when I try to debug:

I checked the configuration and it matches. Here is my ccxml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configurations XML_version="1.2" id="configurations_0">

My debug configuration matches the tutorial you linked.

I was clicking the debug icon in the top bar. I followed your step by step instructions. Step 1 starts but gets stuck at launching 100%. The option for step 2 is grey:

Hi Nathan, 

What .gel file are you using? Can you please post it?

Are you sure your target config file is linking to the correct .gel file?

If you click "test connection" do you have a successful connection?

You mentioned previously that a colleague was able to debug on their machine. Does your hardware setup match theirs? Are you using the same CCS project as them?

Thanks,

Maggie

I am using the gel provided in the 1.6 firmware folder (I assume it's okay to post)

pga970.gel

I re-chose the gel file and nothing changed:

Test connection reports a successful connection.

I followed my coworker's instructions, I'm reaching out to them now to see if I can copy their project folder and see if that works.

I retrieved their project folder and ran into the same problem (launching 100%). Here is the log:

Hi Nathan, 

I heard back from my team - none of them have encountered this error before. One colleague mentioned that your JTAG clock frequency in the target configuration is set to Adaptive. In our XDS110 target configuration, we set the JTAG clock frequency to Fixed. Can you try changing your clock frequency to Fixed?

I assume you and your colleage are using separate PGA970 devices and XDS debuggers? Are you able to try your setup with your colleague's PGA970 and XDS debugger (so the only difference between their setup and your setup are the computers)?

Thanks,

Maggie

I switched to fixed at 1MHz and it's still stuck at launching 100%. We use the same PGA970EVM and XDS200. I had him bring his desktop to my office and it worked on his desktop with my exact hardware setup.

Hi Nathan Yonkee,

Today is a national holiday in the US, please expect an initial response to your post in the next 1-2 days. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Nathan, 

Unfortunately, if you've performed a full swap hardware swap with your coworker, and your CCS settings are the same, then I'm not sure how to proceed. There doesn't seem to be any problem with your hardware if it works with your coworker's setup. To me, it seems like there may be some issue with your computer, which is outside the scope of support I can provide.

You could try asking a question in the CCS forum - perhaps they've seen this issue before:  Code Composer Studio forum 

My apologies,

Maggie

Hi, I'm going to try uninstalling everything and starting fresh. Are there configuration or cache files somewhere on the filesystem that won't be included in the uninstall from control panel?
