CODECOMPOSER: CCS v9.3 - trouble with RTOS analyzer --all of a sudden--

Tool/software:

I've been using RTOS analyzer on a project for the last 2 years. It's C6748 with TI-RTOS. It has consistently worked, although sometimes I've had to restart it to get a new set of data to appear, other times starting and stopping the processor would be enough.

However, just in the last two days, it refuses to show any data at all. I start and stop it the same way, and it now just shows the empty tabs for Live Session, Execution Graph, Processor loads, etc. and no data appears when I stop the processor. I've not changed the .cfg settings, they are:

LoggingSetup.sysbiosLoggerSize = 500000;
LoggingSetup.mainLoggerSize = 500000;
LoggingSetup.loggerType = LoggingSetup.LoggerType_STOPMODE;
LoggingSetup.countingAndGraphingLogging = true;
LoggingSetup.loadTaskLogging = true;
LoggingSetup.loadSwiLogging = false;
LoggingSetup.loadHwiLogging = false;
LoggingSetup.sysbiosSemaphoreLogging = true;

The debug probe is a Blackhawk USB560.

I've tried the usual suspects, rebooting the target, restarting CCS, even rebooting the computer. I then installed the same system and project on a second computer (also Win 10) and the same thing is happening there!

I'm baffled, so if anyone has any clues, they would be appreciated.

  • Forgot to add that I also tried deleting the dvt folder, and also tried starting with a -clean command. No help.

  • Hello James,

    Please note that you are using (versions of) tools that are no longer supported. This includes your CCS version, debug probe, the device, and TI-RTOS in general. Hence we cannot provide much support here unfortunately.

    You seemed to have tried the usual troubleshooting steps. If you installed a fresh CCS on a clean machine and using the same exact projects and versions of the tools and it is still not working, then I'm afraid I don't have much more insight to offer. You do need to enable logging in the cfg but you are using the same cfg file that worked before.

    TI-RTOS was last supported by the device experts so I will bring this thread to their attention just in case they can offer any further suggestions.

  • Hi Ki,

    Thanks for your reply. Do let me know if the device experts have any insights.

  • Hi James,

    We can no longer support TI-RTOS either. However, this doesn't look like a TI-RTOS issue. Do you have any earlier working code that you committed and saved? Maybe you try that on a fresh installed CCS9.3.

    Regards,

  • Hi Jianzhong,

    Thanks for that suggestion. I reverted to an earlier code check-in and the feature is working once again. I'm not sure why yet, but I'll add back the changes one by one and see what breaks the RTOS analyzer. We can close this ticket.

    Thanks again,

    James
