Codecomposer Studio Stellaris IDK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Dear Ti team,

I received and installed my "Software License File for CCSTUDIO TMDSCCS-MCUN01D" today but when I try to debug my own target I get:

Error connecting to the target:
The target board you are attempting to connect to does not appear to be a Stellaris IDK and is not supported with this license. This license may only be used with the development board that is included with Stellaris IDKs bundled with Code Composer Studio.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Martin,

That error message appears when CCS is using one of the free licenses with a board other than an IDK that was bundled with CCS.

My guess is that you may have had CCS setup at one point with a free license and even though you dropped in a new full license, CCS is still trying to use the free one. Basically once it gets a license it caches the location and keeps using that one.

There are a couple ways to fix this. The FAQ here describes how to force CCS to look for a new license: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/FAQ_-_CCSv4#Q:_How_do_I_change_the_license_that_CCS_is_using.3F

Another way to fix it is to find the other .lic file and delete it. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/FAQ_-_CCSv4#Q:_Why_can.27t_I_find_the_licenselocation.txt_file.3F
