Error creating target configuration file.

Phil Langhorst

I just installed CCSv4 to work on an older project. The install, project import and build went fine but I get an error creating a target configuration. I am trying to create a target configuration for a Signum Jtag Jet emulator and a 320F2810. But after creating the file I get an error on the first line "Trouble Parsing include or instance xml file".

I have attached a zip file with screen shots, target file and the error log. The error log includes several attempts to create a target configuration. I can browse to all the files it is complaining about not being able to read.

What am I missing?

Phil,

The reason for the error is that the device xml file f2810.xml is referencing two register xml file named C2000_EV__Type0_Registers.xml, but these files don't exist in the CCS installation. The files that should be referenced are C2000_EV_A_Type0_Registers.xml and C2000_EV_B_Type0_Registers.xml.

You can manually edit the f2810.xml (found in C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\common\targetdb\Devices) and change these references. They are at line 32 and 33 of the file in CCS 4.2.3. To make it easier, I have attached the modified file with the corrections. Make a backup copy of the current f2810.xml file in your installation and replace it with this file. Then create a new target configuration file and it should save without errors.

Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

Aarti,

Thanks I was able to get it connected. I was not able to use the attached file but I was able to edit the device file that existed.

Now after working on it for a while I went to enble the real-time watch window and the option is grayed out.

I went to Target->Advanced and the Enable Silicon Real-Time Mode is grayed out. So I went to the project properties debug target window and all the options related to real-time mode are grayed out there as well. I attached a screen shot.

Can you help me with that?

Thanks,

Phil

After you launch a debug session, in CCS 4.2.3 you should see a icon for enabling silicon real-time mode (as shown in the screenshot below). Do you not see that icon?
