Can't debug code that worked and was debugged a few days ago. CCS 10.1.1 - TMS320F28035

Mechi Fendel

Why is this?

I recompiled the code, updated the CCS, restarted my computer, reset the device, went back to older versions that worked last week, etc.

And still - each time I try to debug code that worked it goes through the correct dialog boxes, but doesn't allow debugging - doesn't start at first line of main() and doesn't allow to Run, Pause, etc.

Mechi,

Have you tried to clean the project and build?

As you have updated the CCS, try to reimport the project and then build.

Yes. I've rebuilt several times - especially when using different versions of the code - all of which worked in the past.

Hi,

Please create a new workspace and import the project in new workspace and build.

Mechi,

You may already be aware of this. Going by the snapshot you have sent, you should be selecting the C28x core you are running and not the emulator. I believe you can then see the Run/Pause dialogs.

Thanks & Regards

Pramod

Of course I choose the correct core and not emulator.

I created a new workspace and a new project in a different folder.

Copied all of the source files and was able to debug. I then copied the project files back into the original workspace - but I changed the name of the folder of the project.

Can it be that the folder of the project had a <space> in the name - and this caused the problem? I renamed the folder and the project to be without spaces.

Take a look in "Breakpoints" window to see if you have any breakpoint memorized from the last debug session.

I don't know why but sometimes this prevents ccs from enabling debugging, and the "run" button remains gray.

Regards.

Yes. Whitespaces in file/folder names can cause issues and should be avoided:
