[CCSV4.2] Issue when attaching a CCS GUI from DSS

Hi Claudio,

would you be able to send (offline works just as well) more or your script?  Do you import the packages you need?  Have you done this successfully in the past?

Cheers,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Yes I have modified the file to make it simpler.

I attached a zip

Once you unzipp the files, open a dos command under <your_dir>/reg_tests/ivahd

launch call ivahd_boot_host1_ducati.bat -c omap4430_ES2_freerunning_with_gel_wakeUp_topsim.ccxml

I never done the experiment before.

Note I have multiples instances of CCSV4 / CCSV5.1 installed on my PC : could some env. variable have been overriden?

Hi Claudio,

ok let me look into this and see if we can spot the issue.

Thanks for the zip files.   A couple quick initial things.

- do the unmodified examples work and launch CCS?

- at the moment my computer will not recognize your bat file as something that can be run or as a correct bat file for some reason

Cheers,
Lisa

isa,

-no, the unmodfied was also not ok. I just remove some useless dependencies.

- did you extract the file on a network drive or a local drive? local drive is prefered.

Strane indeed

Hi Claudio,

I did unzip them on my local pc.  As mentioned I was not able to even run anything at all. 

Please double check.   In the mean time I will see what we can do to start having a quick look at your .js files.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Claudio,

Ok, I have made a bit of progress.

What I have done is the following

- I went into my CCS4.2.4 scripting directory.  In the scripting directory I modified the dss batch file as described on this wiki page to lauch Rhino when run

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debugging_Your_DSS_Script_Using_CCStudio_v4

- In Rhino I went to File->Run and selected your omap4_dss.js file

- as described on the wiki I put a breakpoint after the call to lauch CCS

- I pressed "Go"

- I got an error when get_args was called in the main function

I commented the get_args out to try and remove the error and repeated the above.   At the breakpoint CCS did launch.

So I think maybe you needed a breakpoint?   Please give the above a try and keep me informed.   From what I can see, your script does indeed seem capable of launching CCS.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Lisa,

I also commented the get_arg function call. but without any success.

So I see the difference is that you are using another .bat file than I am. So I try to modifu the file <TI_DIR>ccvs4/bin/dss.bat (is it that one you've modiifed?)to call rhino debugger

But I can load the omap4_dss.js file but not able to run it (the Go button is not activated.)

Sounds issue is in the bat file, no?

I see more arguments when calling the java.exe process in the <TI_DIR>ccvs4/bin/dss.bat file than in the one used for the loadti.bat example. (the one I have modified)

regards

Hi Claudio,

In the Rhino debugger you have to go to File->Run and select your .js file.   This is what I did with your javascript file.  Then you need to set a breakpoint after the call to start CCS as mentioned in the wiki. 

Have you done these steps?  Could you please try and let me know?

I do not think there is a problem with the batch file.  As long as we both have the same CCS version we should have identical batch files actually.

Best Regards,
Lisa

hi lisa,

ok so now I did GO-> "my js file" and  Isee the ccs GUI opened. (I was loading the js file and  I was expecting I could do a simple GO )

However  Ihave an error logged:
!SESSION 2011-08-16 15:09:03.969 -----------------------------------------------

!ENTRY com.ti.dvt.rta.RtaSolution 4 4 2011-08-16 15:09:14.969
!MESSAGE Could not update RTA6 Solution's DP: XDCLogSource

I have commented out the get_arg function.but  If I call it after the session is opened  I still have an error. Since the function is defined in another js file and is hence not available. In my script  I load the getarg.js file based on a environement variable SCRIPT_DIR

By the way, if you look in the zip package the batch I am calling is the dss/loadti_omap4.bat.and is different from the one used to launch CCS when invoking the scripting/bin/dss.bat file

I think error is in this file. since it differs from the one called when launching the one under scripting/bin directory

I tried to modified my batch to pass more arguments to the java process , but in vain.

regards

lisa,

Finally, I am able to launch CCS after having modified the loadti_omap4.bat file. I basically copy the ds.bat present in the scripting dir.

I have still an issue when launching rhino debugger, the js is not automatically loaded (path/ env variable issue I think)

I attach the modified bat file in case

Hi Claudio,

It might be more of a path when you load the function.

Eg if dss.js, omap4.js and getArgs.js are all in the same directory then it is easy ...

in omap4.js just do

load("getArgs.js);

getArgs();

This works ... the only issue becomes I think in your getArgs() you cause a script or at the very least Rhino exit.  So look into this as a next step.

Cheers,
Lisa

lisa,

yes for the path issue it is due to the fact it can be used from multiple users with different config.

For the 2nd point  Idon't get your point.

In fact  Iwould like to have more info on the way we need to pass argument to the jva process: in the loadti.bat, it seems simpler than in the scripting/bin/dss.bat.

Since  Iam not a java expert, the command line such as

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_SHELL! %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

is not very crystal clear. but it sounds to be necessary

 BTW I see the CCS5.1 M7 dss.bat has been simplified (similar the the loadti.bat example in fact.)

Hi Claudio,

I have a lot to learn myself.

What exactly are you trying to do? Bind a CCS and script session?  Perhaps I should pause here and make sure that we understand.

Best Regards,
Lisa

isa,

yes  I have developped a script to launch some test in an automatic way. Sometimes some tests are failing we need to investigate more in details, that is why the CCS GUi is usefull in these cases.

since I do not want to maintain multiple batch files,  I want to release only 1 version that can also open [conditionnaly]  the CCS GUI.

That is why some deepers information on how to pass argument to the java process in the batch file would be more than welcome, since we have seen by our experiments that some parameters are needed for this Use Case.

rgds

HI Claudio,

I am actually not yet a scripting expert myself but it seems the best and only sources of documentation are:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Loadti

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debug_Server_Scripting

And of course the scripts and readmes in the scripting directory itself. 

As loadti is actually an example script you should be able to continue to make modifications and hopefully will find that in the end the script you need will come out.  In the readme and loadti scripts you can see how you can pass parameters via command line or file.  Unlike dss.js, which is not really command line based, loadti is written to be passed files and arguments.

If you have specific questions please feel free, however there is unfortunately no further documentation available.

All the best!

Lisa

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for the invitation to this thread. I skimmed through the thread. Well, I think we are both victims of the DSS, however, I never tried to pass arguments to the scripts. So, I haven't got a good idea what's wrong. Sorry.

Did you do a re-installation of your CCSv4? Maybe this will help to get the CCS GUI working again. Did you have a look to my files, posted in my thread ? I never used this loadTI-thing.

Jo
