Code composer issues

  • Sometimes, project file update doesn’t work with CCS. Need to clear workspace folder to fix the problem (Looks like, CCS is storing some project related stuff into workspace)
  • Sometimes, Green bug button (all actions button) doesn’t work. Need to do all actions (launching configuration, connecting target and loading program) separately.
  • Overall reliability of CCS5 is less than CCS3.1. (Disconnect from target more frequently, error prompts appears more frequently, etc)
  • Project becomes inactive in Project Explorer window (even if there is only one project in workspace). It makes “Build Project” option unavailable.  Need to click on project (or project file) to make project active.
  • Creating multiple expression window doesn’t work properly. (Meaning, removing one watch expression from one expression window automatically removes from another expression windows). I like to have different variables in different expression windows.

    Hi Jayesh,

    Thanks for the feedback:

    Yes some project information is stored in the workspace. And yes, clearing the workspace can help resolve issues due to corrupted cached data in the workspace.

    The Debug button automates multiple functions. If one of the function fails, the Debug action will fail. Could you describe what exactly failed?

    CCS reliability was an issue with v4. v5 has come a long way in trying to achieve v3 reliability. Reliability/stability is always a key priority for us and we will continue to work on it with every future patch/release

    yes what happens is that the project context is lost. And this can happen even if there is just one project. This is something we inherited from Eclipse and how things work there in terms of context. It is a bit of a PITA to constantly check to make sure the project is active but we did add an enhancement in 5.1 where there is some text next to the project name saying if it is ACTIVE to help make things clearer.

    The views share the same information and have the same context. But it is a valid enhancement request.

    Thanks
