CCSV4 Debug Stellaris Startup fails but was Previously working.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Everything was working fine for days; Then with no warning I could not start the debug of the active project.

hello world (modified) on lm3s9b92 through TI ICDI.

Error was:

Error initializing emulator:
Unable to load C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\DebugServer\drivers\DebugLib.dll because The operating system cannot run %1.

Using the ICDI successfully previously and through LM Flash Programmer on this board on this project.

Cleaned out as many caches as I could find and tried to set up a new target configuration.

Debug log shows lots of Polling messages then:

    Can you check the suggestion in this related post, and verify that debuglib.dll and the other dlls mentioned there exist in the respective directories?

  • in reply to AartiG

    The dlls are where I expect them.

    Did an un-install and re-install of CCSV4.2.2.00033 and the problem persists..

  • in reply to Robert Parker
    TI__Guru**** 173310 points

    Is this on Windows7?

    I know you said you did this before, but could you reconfirm that you deleted target cache and debug launch files are described here?

    Sequence of events:
    Debug session works OK. Debugging code. (Version 4.2.2.00033 with patch for LM3S9B92 rev C5.)
    I may have worked on a CCS3.3 MSP-430 project in this time frame and mucked about some as I had lost the
    bin/d43 build configuration for debug AND/OR softbaugh programming.
    I think I did at least one successful Stellaris cortex-M3 debugging session here.
    Wrote enhancement code into project.
    Numerous test compiles to get out coding errors and warnings.
    Tried another debug session of the now compiling code and it failed with the error below.
    Tried a previously working debug session on another project. It failed the same way.
    Cleaned out all caches and the workspace and re-installed code Composer Studio.
    Still fails as below. Looked at the DbgView, hello.launch and eclipse logs and saw nothing obvious.

    Note: no longer see the Texas Instruments/Luminary ICDI debugger available in the Debug Target configuration menu.
    Using:
    Stellaris In-Circuit Debug Interface

    Error:
    Error initializing emulator:
    Unable to load C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\DebugServer\drivers\DebugLib.dll because The operating system cannot run %1.

    Either I lost the "magic" target configuration across the board (All projects.) or I wiped out a path/script in Eclipse or the JRE

    I'm running an XP virtual machine under VMWare on Ubuntu 10.4.

    I wonder if this is the source of the problem. Do you have access to a native XP machine that you can test the same hardware and CCS with?

  • in reply to AartiG
    Intellectual 370 points

    This virtual machine was what the system was working on previously. All other IDE's and targets worked on it.

    Tried deleting caches and the workspace again and starting over to the same effect/error.

  • in reply to Robert Parker
    Intellectual 370 points

    Found a few things that point to the error but haven't yet connected the dots....

    The error is probably an Windows XP Operating System error. The message is associated with codes 182, 188, 189, 190, 192, 194, 195, 198, 201, 202

    Looked into Administrative tools \ Event Viewer and found the following 3 errors:

    Error Source - SideBySide   Event -  59  Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\common\bin\xerces-c_2_5_0D.dll. Reference error message. The operation completed successfully.

    Error Source - SideBySide   Event -  59 Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system

    I'm not sure if this will help, but it would be quick to test:

    1) Download and re-install the VS2005 redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en

    2) Download and re-install the VS2005 SP1 redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en

    3) Check your Windows\system32 folder for any copies of xerces_2_5*.dll. If you find one, temporarily rename it.

    4)  Retest ...

  • in reply to AndyW
    Intellectual 370 points

    Tried all the above to no effect.  The Debug session launch fails with the same error.

    Loaded up a new virtual machine and installed Code Composer Studio, grabbed my modified

    StellarisWare/hello and the debug launch works fine.

    It's clear I broke the XP operating system install.  This is no longer a "show stopper" but I would still

    like to know why and learn how to trace the error faster.

  • in reply to Robert Parker
    TI__Guru**** 173310 points

    One thing to try to trace such errors might be to load debuglib.dll in "Dependency Walker". It may be that this dll communicates with a windows driver that is not correctly installed on the system. This tool would flag any missing dependencies.
