Automate connection steps to start debugging (externally built .out file)

Okay so I've made some progress, but there are still some steps missing that I may need assistance with.

UPDATE:

What can I do so far?

• I can use DSS scripting commands via the ("View" > "Scripting Console") to run my steps

What can't I do:

• Run these commands from a script externally
• Attach CCS to the running debug session

Any assistance would be appreciated

DSS Javascript code to perform my steps:

// No idea how to get this to work yet
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.debug.engine.scripting);
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

// CSS
var ccsInstallDir = "C:/TI/ccs1260/ccs";
// Directory where I've put everyting for this script:

var script_folder = "C:/LocalScratch/debug_script";
// File structure:
// /debug_script/application.out
// /debug_script/xwrl6432_xds110.ccxml
// /debug_script/xwrLx432.gel

// Folder and file setup
var logFile = script_folder + "log.xml";
var logFileStylesheet = ccsInstallDir + "/ccs_base/scripting/examples/DebugServerExamples/DefaultStylesheet.xsl";
var deviceCCXMLFile = script_folder + "/xwrl6432_xds110.ccxml";
var programToLoad = script_folder + "/application.out";
var gel_file = script_folder + "/xwrLx432.gel";

// Get a handle to the scripting environment object
var scriptEnv = ScriptingEnvironment.instance();

// Logging (DOES NOT WORK) QUESTION: Why?
scriptEnv.traceBegin(logFile, logFileStylesheet);
scriptEnv.traceSetConsoleLevel(TraceLevel.INFO);
scriptEnv.traceSetFileLevel(TraceLevel.ALL);
scriptEnv.traceWrite("Begin scripting session");

// Get a handle to a ScriptServer object to interact with the debugger
var debugServer = scriptEnv.getServer("DebugServer.1");
// Set the target configuration
debugServer.setConfig(deviceCCXMLFile);

// Connect to CS_DAP_0 and Run gel file
var cs_dap_session = debugServer.openSession("Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0/CS_DAP_0");
cs_dap_session.target.connect();
cs_dap_session.expression.evaluate('GEL_LoadGel("' + gel_file + '")');

// Connect and reset cortexm4
var cortexm4 = debugServer.openSession("Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0/Cortex_M4_0");
cortexm4.target.connect();
cortexm4.target.reset()

// Load program
cortexm4.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);

// Start debugging
cortexm4.target.run();

// Stop - QUESTION: Should this be here?
debugServer.stop();

// Stop logging
scriptEnv.traceWrite("End scripting session");
scriptEnv.traceEnd();

What issue do you run into when running the script outside CCS?

If you are inquiring about launching the CCS IDE and connecting it to an already active DSS session, then this is not possible. You can have a DSS script launch the CCS IDE however.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Ki. I appreciate the time.

I'm a bit confused about how to run it exactly. I've tried to launch it using (Let's call my script "script.js")

Path 1
dss.bat script.js
run.bat script.js

I get errors at the import step in my script "script.js" because the syntax above seems to be java not javascript, but I do not see examples of the same in javascript.

If I can resolve the issue so that the script recognizes the CSS commands then maybe I can get it to work?
Perhaps in the above two commands there is an additional step required to launch the IDE?


Alternative Path 2 (Primary Path at this stage)

set CCS_INSTALL_DIR="C:\TI\ccs1260\ccs\eclipse\ccstudio.exe"

set WORKSPACE="C:\LocalScratch\debug_script"
set SCRIPT_PATH="C:\LocalScratch\debug_script\run_debug.js"

%CCS_INSTALL_DIR% -data %WORKSPACE% -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.runScript -product com.ti.ccstudio.branding.product -import %SCRIPT_PATH%
