ccs5 locks up reloading modified file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

target configuration is c6747 cycle accurate simulator

after rebuilding ccs5 pops up the "Reload the program automatically" dialog.  when I click OK, most of the time ccs5 locks up and the process must be killed.

also tried saying no then reload n debugger - locks up here too...

any ideas?

    also tried clicking the Restart button.  get a dialog saying "Error - Stack not available at this time" and ccs5 is locked up tight. requires killing process.

    FYI ccstudio.exe process is maxing out one of my CPUs

    Hi Kurt,

    Are you still having this issue?   Could you please try renaming ctools.dll?  Does this occur with all projects/workspaces?  Would you please attache any error logs or dump files (.dmp) generated.

    1) Rename ctools.dll?

    2) Yes, it happens with all the projects and debuggers I have tried (simulator and xds100v2). The only way I can work right now is to kill and restart the debugger between edits.

    I have tried all of the standard troubleshooting like /clear and delete .metadata.

    Don't have any logs but I will create some as I work in the future.

    HI Kurt,

    ok any logs you could provide would be of benefit.  And yes, please try renaming ctools.dll and keep us informed.  You should be able to do a search in the CCS install directory for it.  It should be under the emulation folder ...

    Hi Kurt,

    just thought I would check for an update/any available logs.

    thanks for the concern.

    but, in the interest of getting work done I no longer reload modified files.  every time I make a change I terminate and restart the debugger. 

    I just don't have time to debug ccs5. or my installation.  or whatever it is. there were a lot of strange quirks in the ccs4 debugger.  ccs5 has been better.  I figure this is one of those quirks in ccs5.
