CODECOMPOSER: system.xml editor for a system project not supported in CCS 20.1.0

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am trying to migrate a multicore system project to the latest CCS version (20.1.0) but it only displays the system settings file (system.xml) in raw xml format unlike the old version which has a dedicated editor like shown in the image below.

Do I need to install an extension for this feature?

Thank you

  • Hi Khalil,

    This feature is on the roadmap, for now editing the system.xml file is the current solution.

  • Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for the reply and the clarification.

    I also noticed that in the new CCS:

    - There is no option to show variable addresses in the Watch window

    - Unlike the old CCS, Enums are not interpreted in the watch window and are just shown as integer (casting them doesn't seem to work even though it's just C code)

    - The memory browser doesn't find variables (Data) and only works with functions (Program)

    Kind regards,

    Khalil

  • Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for the update!

    Yes it works with the ampersand, I used to just do "View Memory" form the "Expressions" tab on the old CCS, which is missing in the new version, so I didn't realise that I needed to add the ampersand.

    Also, it would be nice to have the ability to select both CPUs to do a "CPU Reset". In the new CCS I can only select one CPU at a time. Many thanks

    Kind regards,
