CCSv5.1 multicore grouping problem

Greg Aumann

I am trying run the FFTC_Simple_testProject that comes with MCSDK 2_00_05_17 on a C6670. The instructions in the Readme.txt state: 'run the multi core example project
on all 4 cores in "synchronous" mode.' I am using CCSv5.1. These instructions seem to be for CCSv4. I think the CCSv5 equivalent is to group the cores as per [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Multi-Core_Debug_with_CCSv5#Fixed_Groups]. However when I select multiple cores and right click the context menu I get is quite different. See the attached screenshot. I have not modified the example code nor the configuration file. It makes no difference whether I select main(), _c_int00() or the core names.

    Hi Greg,

    Are you using the 5.1 release or some early pre-release build of 5.1? The Debug view in your screen shot contains some items that existed in old version of 5.x that have since been removed...

    Thanks

    The install file is named ccs_setup_5.1.0.09000.exe

    thanks

    That is the release version. Not sure why the Debug view is behaving like that. Very strange. Are you in the 'CCS Debug' perspective? Could you try resetting your perspective (Window -> Reset Perspective) or using a new workspace folder?

    From the screen capture, the debug view's toolbar and context menu looks different, it doesn't look like it is in the "CCS Edit" or "CCS Debug" perspective. The grouping menu items are only contributed to these two perspectives. Try switching to either one of these perspective and see if the menu is available or not.

    I am definitely in the CCS Debug perspective. I click on the CCS Debug button in the top right hand corner just before selecting the cores.  I also tried reseting the Debug perspective as per another suggestion above and that made no difference either. Today I have updated CCS through the Eclipse update mechanism and that also made no difference.

    thanks

    Greg,

    Can you post a screen capture of the full workbench window?

    thanks,

    sorry for the delay, I was off work for a couple of days.

    Here is the full workbench screenshot. I am also including screenshots of the installation versions as I think they might be helpful too.

    thanks

    Greg - from you screenshot, I can see that you are in the "Debug" perspective and not the "CCS Debug" perspective. Could you switch to the "CCS Debug" perspective and see if the grouping functionality is available?

    Thanks

    From the screen capture, it looks like Greg did a plugin install mode, instead of a full CCS install. So, that explains why he didn't have 'CCS Debug' and 'CCS Edit' perspectives by default.

    ok, that was the problem. I was using "Debug" view rather than "CCS Debug" view. In fact I had no idea there was more than one debug view.

    Can you explain what a plugin install mode is and how it is different from a "normal" install?

    thanks

    Hi Greg,

    The 'view' that you are referring to is call 'Perspective' in the eclipse. There are many predefined perspective in eclipse, and you can also define your own perspective too.

    For plugin install mode, i.e install into existing eclipse, CCS installer tries not to change the user's existing setup. Whereas, for full install, there are additional settings that are enabled ontop of standard eclipse to give the user a better experience out of the box. i.e CCS perspectives; simplified menu and toolbar, TI welcome page where you can find examples and documentation, etc...

    Regards,
    Patrick
