CCS5: How to change debug platform?

David Aldrich
Expert 1345 points


Hi

I have just created a new CCS5 project and selected platform ti.platforms.evm6670.  Some of our developers don't have an EVM6670 and must use a simulator. When I attempt to debug the project without an EVM6670 connected I get error:

Unable to launch CCS debug-session based on current selection.

The specified file "<my proj path>\6670Sim.ccxml" does not exist in the file system.

How can I change the platform to the 6670 simulator without creating a new project?

    Hi David,

    Did you create a target configuration file for the C6670 simulator? Sounds like it cannot find it or you have the wrong default configuration selected.

    You can also change the platform in the project properties under the 'General' and then the 'RTSC' tab.

    Thanks

    Hi Ki

    Thanks for replying.

    I am not aware that I have, but it must be a relic of a previous project.

    I have now changed it to ti.platforms.simTCI6608, but I still get the error:

    The specified file "<my proj path>\6670Sim.ccxml" does not exist in the file system.

    Can you suggest what else to do please?

    Where did this reference to a 6670Sim.ccxml file come from? Did someone create a link to this file that is now broken?

    I'm sorry but I don't know. I am very new to CCS5.

    I can't see it in the project tree.

    Any idea where I would look please?

    Can you zip up and attach your whole project folder?

    Hi Ki

    I am reluctant to attach my project for confidentialty reasons.

    I have taken 6670Sim.ccxml from a previous project and added it to my present project.  Now the debugger launches ok.  I just don't think I have the environment set up correctly because the 6670 simulator is not offered in my list of platforms.

    Is it typical to need a .ccxml file in a project?

    What is the full version number of your CCSv5 install? It should be available in the official release (5.1.0.09000).

    No. But for whatever reason, your project had a reference to it. I'm not sure where it came from, especially if you created a new project from scratch.
