CC2803X: "C28xx: GEL: Encountered a problem loading file:"

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, C2000WARE

Hi all,

after several hours while looking for solution I have decide to ask.

I have TIDA3000W050_V04 from Ttransphorm board which is equiped with CC2803X ISO DIMM.

Firmware example is populated under the name:
FullBridgeInv_28035.

Available version is few years old, do some references links to old CCS versions.

Due this diferrences I have had to find all new dependieces and have solved it all. Currently building of Debug and Release goes good.

My Workspace name is H:\\!!TI to be not too deep.

When I am trying to run debugger i have a messaage:

C28xx: GEL: Encountered a problem loading file: H:\!!TI\FullBridgeInv_28035\Debug\FullBridgeInv_28035.out Could not open file.

Screen below shows that everything is available and fresh, file isn't locked - I can delete or move it.

I have upgraded everything yesterday, I tried with admin privilleges for CCS, but nothing helps.

Thak you in advance for help

Regards

Mariusz

    Hi Mariusz,

    Are you successful with a recent, simple, example (LED blinky) project built on C: drive?

    If so, then ensure your target project is using the same output settings (EABI) and Debugging model / DWARF versions as the example project.

    Hi Kier,

    During CCS installation I have select only C2000 elements and I don't see this example.

    Additionally link to f2803x doesn't work :(.

    Could you help me - what I should install to get this example?
    When I have fired ControlSuite i see examples for F2803 but there is nothing about "blinky led"

    This is my first project on TI, until nowi have worked with STM/MCHP/Avr, so first steps are diffcult Slight smile

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards

    Hi Mariusz,

    Are you facing this only for a particular example? Can you try with any other example as Kier suggested?

    Best Regards

    I understand, it's always difficult to gather momentum.

    I recommend the following project in C2000Ware:

    C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_4_00_00_00\device_support\f2803x\examples\c28\timed_led_blink

    The example is for controlCARD but if there's an LED on your dev board perhpaps you can adapt it:

    I personally don't use the Resource Explorer. I download and install the individual support packages manually (e.g. C2000Ware) then import the projects in the usual Eclipse fashion.

    Hi All,

    Thank you for support :)

    Currently I haven't board here, where I am.

    So I will continue afternoon in another lab  (there is 11 am here in EU).

    Regards

    You're welcome.

    Note that you could perhaps use the LED blinky project with your dev board regardless of LED or not. After all, at this stage you just want to check if you can load a simple program and debug it on your dev board. Flashing an LED is not important right now.

    Hi Kier,

    Yes, I know :).

    Now I see that my mistake was that I have supposed that imported project is configured correctly and in fact I have changed links to apprioprate links and didn't see in all another configuration fields.

    And finally I missed debug mode.

    BTW: 
    Today I have recreated CCS environment on my laptop and I see one differnce - now I have two "final files" - .out and .hex.

    Could this be the cause of this error?

    Anyway I try to recreate my desktop installation afternoon.

    Regards

    I doubt it. The .hex file is optional and not used by the debugger anyway since the .out contains the program image too.

    Hi Kier,

    I undestand that .out file is like .elf in another systems.

    I hope that afternoon everything will be clear.

    If not, we will talking about this problem tommorow :)

    Hi Siddarth,

    yes, one hour ago :)

    Currently I haven't time to describe what has happened, but I promise to do it in the next 24 hours.

    Solution was a bit magic, so I would like to make description as detailed as possible and this is more than 15 minutes.

    Anyway, thanks for showing interest.

    Regards

    Hi All,

    Yesterday afternoon I started by removing CCS 11.1 and c2000ware.
    Then I installed the latest CCS 11.2 and c2000ware.
    A little adaptation of the project to the new folders was necessary. The Debug configuration was easy to change, but the Release configuration failed for now. I'll get back to that later.
    I checked the Debugging Model settings, as Kier suggested, it was fine.
    When I started the debugger, a configuration message appeared and then everything worked fine - the firmware loaded into the processor.

    Familiar joke - what to do if a computerized car doesn't work? - Just get out and get in.

    In all seriousness - I think the cause was the original debugger configuration error in CCS. When I turned on the development kit, I assumed that all settings on the CPU board were ready to go.
    Unfortunately this was not the case and at first I was unable to connect to the CPU at all. FTDI worked, but JTAG did not.
    In this state of F2803x board I was configuring the system from the beginning.
    When I switched right switch SW3, I got JTAG "connection" and then the message I started this thread with appeared.
    So I'm assuming that the first configuration with the wrong CPU (JTAG) setting caused the unspecified CCS behavior and the inability to reconfigure properly after getting a connection.


    This is my first project on TI CPU and first installation of its environment. So I hope this description will help others who are starting like me.

    Thank you all colleagues for your interest and prompt response to my problem.

    Regards

    Mariusz
