error message; Can't find source file while simulation issue

Mohamed Sohal

While software simulation using CCS v5.0.23 at certain occasions the following error message pops up.  it is showing certain files are missing. We have to locate those files manually if we want to continue. What may be the issue.

 

 

Can't find a source file at "path of the file"

Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location.

    Hi Mohamed,

    Is this during debug?  Or during build?  Could you send more details on what you see and are trying to do?   Maybe even a screen shot.

    An error like this typically means that CCS can not resolve the path to the file.  Have you checked your include paths and build variable to make sure the path to the file is included? 

    If you right click on a file in the Project Explorer and go to Properties you should see the location and size of the file if CCS is properly resolving it.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Dear Lisa,

                        Thanks for the reply. The issue happens during debug. When the project is run no problem arises. but when it is debugged at times some or other source file is shown missing. The files are there in the actually directories since it works while running.

    Hi Mohamed,

    is it reproducible?  Do you still see the error if in debug mode you connect your target and go run->load->load program and load the projects .out file?   What do you see if the disassembly view when this happens?

    Hi Lisa,

           We are following the same steps in debug mode. When we locate the files manually the debug continues for sometime and and shows some other source file is missing. Again we have to locate the files manually. Why are these files missing?

    Hi Mohamed,

    we would need a bit more information to help diagnose things.

    Could you provide more information about your build and path variables?  Include paths etc.   Is this a shared or imported project?  Could you send a screen shot?  What target are you using?  etc ..

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
                It is an imported project. The IMAGE PROCESSING DEMO that comes with the MCSDK. The target that is used is the Texas Instruments Simulator -> C6678 Device Functional Simulator, Little Endian.

    Hi Mohamed,

    what import options did you use?  For example, did you select to copy the files?  

    Have you tried v5.0.3 or our recommended latest version 5.1RC1?   Because you have MCSDK installed, if you would like to try 5.1RC1 please deselect the MSA during installation.  

    Did you make any modifications to the include paths?  In the project explorer view, if you right click on one of these files, do you see the path and file size information?  This is a way to tell if CCS can properly resolve the file paths.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    • Project->import existing project is what we used.
    • Have'nt tried those versions. Current Version is 5.0.23
    • Have'nt made any modifications in the include paths
    • path and file size information are shown in their properties.

    Hi Mohamed,

    did you select "copy project into workspace"?  I would certainly recommend trying a newer version, however as mentioned, please be careful to deselect MSA for v5.1.

    did you load the cores with the program/.out file?  (Run->Load->Load Program)   When you do this do you still get the same message?   When opening the debugger, did you get to select which core(s) you wished?  What debug settings do you have set (screenshot?)

    Best Regards,
    Lisa
