I can't open "*.cfg" files properly with XGCONF in CCSv5

Hello,

I have some troubles evaluating TI example projects since I can't open project configuration files properly.

My installation:

  • Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64-bit system
  • Code Composer Studio version 5.5.0.00077
  • AV BIOS SDK version 00 08 00 00

Each example project from the mentioned BIOS package has a configuration file of type "*.cfg", which can be opened with the XGCONF editor. But I have generally a problem to get any other view than the script version of these files. The first tab is always an error report (see attached files), the second one an empty property page, and only the last one, the "cfg script" tab, shows normally a text file.

I encountered this problem already with the previous version 5.4 of CCS, also on another platform (Windows XP on a 32-bit system). Several re-installations and even the update to version 5.5 didn't help out.

Now I wonder how I can solve this issue, Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Can you try opening a new workspace, import the project into it and then try opening the .cfg file? That could tell if it is a workspace corruption issue. Also, I would like you to go through this link:

    Hi Gautam,

    thanks for your quick reply.

    I tried already to import the project to a new and empty workspace, but the troubles still remain.

    What I could identify furthermore after going through the referenced thread is the following:

    1) I get the error report tab only for configuration files of Sys/BIOS examples from the AV BIOS SDK package. For other projects and for newly created projects I can open configuration files without any problems and they are displayed correctly with all tabs.

    2) it is no problem to compile and run the example project, even if I cannot edit the related configuration file properly. There I could not see any dependency.

    3) the XDCTools version I'm currently using is 3.24.03.33.

    May it be a compatibility issue with the XDC tools version?

    I attached the (original and un-modified) configruation file of the example in discussion, as it has been delivered with the sw package.

    Kind Regards

    Hello again,

    meanwhile I could find the root cause, thanks to the thread you referenced in your post!

    I checked the XDC tools version again, and I could find out that there are two different project configuration parameters pointing to an XDC tools package (see attached screen shot):

    • the first one is a configuration option in the project properties, page "General", tab "RTSC" > "XDCtools version" which was set to the version 3.25.3.72.
    • the second one is a reference to the XDC tools directory in the sub tab "Products and Repositories" of the same page, which pointed to the installation directory of an older version 3.24.03.33.

    This inconsistency led to the problems of the XGCONF editor. I updated the referenced directory to point to the installation directory of the latest XDC tools version 3.25.3.72, which is already selected in the first parameter, and now I can open and edit the configuration file without any problem. Nice!

    Kind Regards
