CCSv6 Debug problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Environment: Windows 7, Code Composer Studio v6

I am facing issue with debugger. I am using CC3200 launchpad. When I try to debug code I am getting following error.

"Unable to load ..\..\..\emulation\tpi\tpiarm_x.dll: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail"

I have checked in directory mentioned above and tpiarm_x.dll file is available there. How to solve this issue.

  • Hello,

    I assume you have installed the C3200 device support via the App Center. Can you reproduce the issue with debug server logging enabled and then zip and attach the log here?

  • I have uninstalled CCS completely and then install it again but the issue is still there.. I have gone through many post in this forum but  still not get rid of this problem.. It would be great if someone help me to solve this issue.. 

  • Niral,

    One reason you can see this message is there are missing dependencies for the DLL mentioned in the message. This DLL has many indirect dependencies, but the only ones I could see as possibly being missing are the Visual Studio 2008 redistributable libraries (MSVCR90, MFC90, and MSVCP90).  These are supposed to be installed by CCS and come from Windows SxS component store.

    We could confirm whether it is these DLLs causing the problem by installing the dependency walker and opening the DLL in the error message. The dependency walker should not report any errors when loading the DLL.

    If there are errors being reported for the DLLs I mentioned, I would recommend trying to re-install this specific Visual Studio package (here) from the GUI to see if any errors are reported. Assuming it installs OK, reboot the PC and re-run the dependency checker.  Could you let us know what you find from this?

  • Hello AndyW

    It works.. Thank you..

  • Very similar problem here with a msp432p401r on (Win7 Enterprise SP1 64bit).

    I tried working from TI CCS Cloud. Installed the "ticloudagent" and the browser thingy in firefox, as instructed. Successfully ran "out of box gui" and could change LED colour.

    Then tried importing and modifying code. Could compile, but not flash. Tools whining about a "emulation\tpi\tpi_cs_dap.dll"

    After a manual VCREDIST install from your link, everything works immediately, without any restart. THANKS!

    (Something needs be fixed in the Cloud install workflow, too....)

  • Hi.
    Today I have same problem with CCS V6.1.1.00022 .
    I tried with your solution but error still not fix.
    Can you help me to fix it?
    I also tried some another ways on this forum but it not change ( such as change a PATH,...)
    Pls help me to fix it.
    Thanks you.
  • The Visual Studio package mentioned above is no longer required for either CCS 6.1.1 or the latest CCS cloud version, so you would hitting a different problem.

    Can you describe the problem you have in more detail please? Could you also create a debug server log and post it here? ( http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv6#CCS_Diagnostic_Logs ).

  • Was this issue ever resolved? I'm having the same issue when running debug on CodeCompose Version: 6.2.0.00050 after installed TI-RTOS CC13xx . Ican compile code in CCS but I cannot load the compiled bits on to my board with 'Run->debug'. I get an error stating the following module can not be found: "emulation\tpi\tpi_cs_dap.dll"
  • So, I downloaded and installed v7 of Code Composer Studio and installed it. and at first it was fine, but then Norton popped up an error and is analyzing a threat "Suspicious.Cloud.7.F". After it was finished, Norton stated it removed the threat. Looking at what was removed, it was the "tpi_cs_dap.dll" and now I am back in the situation where I can Build a project in CCS but I cannot run Debug and load the code on the board.

    Restoring this file in Norton eliminated the issue and I was able to load code again to a target.

    Is this .dll a real threat or is Norton improperly flagging this?
  • That dll is an essential part of the driver code. Sounds like Norton is improperly flagging this. We will need to see if we can get Norton to update their definitions to not flag it.

    Thanks for reporting this
