CCSv5 - Debug Server Scripting - "CCSServer.openSession() failed"

Joachim Siegler

I'm try to get a java script which was used for Debug Server Scripting with CCSv4 working for CCSv5. But there is one problem, if I try to start CCSv5 out of the script I get an error message. The commands to start CCS from the script are:

server = script.getServer("CCSServer.1");
session = server.openSession(".*");

The second command ends up with the error message below:

CCSServer.openSession() failed. DSS was unable to launch Code Composer Studio, however script execution will continue. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

Is there may be a problem with line 39 in the dss.bat file in "C:\....\Texas Instruments\ccsv5\ccs_base_5.0.0.00095\scripting\bin"? I cann't find the file "startup.jar" in the CCSv5 install directory. I attached my dss_debug_ccsv5.bat file which equals the original file except that I'm calling the RHINO_DEBUGGER. I also attached my java script which tries to start CCSv5 in line 35.

The rest of the script is working fine but without a CCSv5 instance it's very hard to debug the java script.

I'm not sure what version of CCSv5 I'm using because HELP -> About Code Composer Studio says "Version: 5.0.0.201010041800 ", however, the CCSv5 install directory says "ccs_base_5.0.0.00095".

Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance, Jo

Hi,

I am almost sure the issue you are having is due to the change between eclipse used by CCSv4 and v5. The link below mentions the correct way of calling CCSv5 from the command line. Would you mind trying that and seeing if your script runs fine?

Hope this helps,

Hi,

thanks for the link, I checked it. Now I understood the problem but I have no idea how to start the CCSv5 in the same context as the debug server script. In the dss_debug_ccsv5.bat file in line 65 we see the java.exe call:

java.exe -Xms40m -Xmx256m -Dxpcom.bridge.executeOnDedicatedThread=no -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath="!DEBUGSERVER!\win32" -DXPCOM.RUNTIME="!DEBUGSERVER!\win32" -cp !RHINO_JAR!;!SCRIPTING_JARS!;!DVT_SCRIPTING_JAR! !RHINO_DEBUGGER! %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

in which the parameter "SCRIPTING_JARS" provide the path to the "..\eclipse\startup.jar". With CCSv5 or rather with the new eclipse we can not longer use the startup.jar but where I have to call the new "eclipsec.exe"? I guess it doesn't make a lof of sense to substitute "startup.jar" with "eclipsec.exe".

Could you please give more guidance?

Thanks, Jo

hi Joachim,

I am facing same issue. Please see thread

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/128204.aspx?PageIndex=1

I was able to open once the GUI, but after that, it becomes impossible again.

It is not clear to me why .
