How to get ROV to run in Non-Project Debug Session?

I am using CCS 4.2.3 in Non-Project Debug mode and I see that both ROV and RTA are unusable.  ROV complains that it needs a path to the XDCTOOLS, I set this, but the complaint presists.  How do I get ROV to work in Non-Project Debug?  I have the source lookup path set to find the source files and I can set breakpoints and do normal debugging activities, but the other tools to not currently work.

  • Hi Lee,

    The answer to your question is two part.

    If you do not have any debug information, ie if you do not have a .out file and therefore can not load symbols, you can not use ROV or RTA.  Ie you need to be able to load symbols.

    If you do have a .out file and are able to load symbols, then you can use ROV and RTA in non project debug mode.

    What you need to do is the following

    - under Window->Preferences->CCS->RTSC  ... you will see the following form (see image attached) that you need to then manually fill in.  This is why it does not find your xdc tools.

    - in your projectless debug session you then also need to load symbols

    - after these two steps you should have access to ROV and RTA

    I hope this helps!

    Best Regards,
