Setup CCS to debug application that was built outside of CCS

George James

I have an C++ application that is built outside of CCS and using CCS to flash the application onto a TMS570 board.  The application runs, I can break, step through the disassembly, and look at register values.  How can I get CCS to recognize the source code and allow me to step through the source code?  Is this possible for an application that is built outside of CSS?

    Hi George,

    The CCS can recognize the project only when it's had below project file 

    This file contains the below information

    Why don't you create a new project using CCS and you can import the existing .cpp files to the new project?

    Jagadish,

    I got this to work without adding the source files to the project.  I had to add a path to the source file in the debug configuration.  Then I had to manually load the symbols from the .elf file.  After that I could set breakpoints and step through the code.  Any breakpoints set before loading symbols would not work though.

    Thanks for the response, your answer didn't directly fix it, but going through those steps led me to the solution.

    Thanks,
