Code Composer 5 locking up while loading (2%)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3S1968

Hi, I apologise if this is covered somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

Background: I'm using an LM3S1968 EVK as part of a final-year paper on embedded systems design at university.  We started using CCS4, but I'm now using 5.

CCS 4 and 5 both do this to me (I only upgraded to 5 because I thought it might solve the problem).  When CCS is loading the program into the device (after clicking DEBUG) it gets as far as shown, and it just stops.  I don't know why... If I click cancel, it just sits there - its not crashed, but its not going anywhere either.  I have to start the task manager and kill the process then restart (or I can click the debug button repeatedly and crash it then restart it)... it might do this 3 times before finally loading - it might do it 10 times or more... there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it.

I just thought it was me, but it not only happens on my laptop, my pc and my office computer but it also happens to other classmates... its very frustrating.  Has anyone come across this, and has anyone got a solution?  As I mentioned - I apologise if this has already been discussed and solved - but I wasn't able to find it when searching.

Cheers

Steve

    Steve,

    Could you provide some additional detials?

    1) Which specific version of CCS v5 are you using? If you are on 5.1.0, it might be worth it to try downloading and installing 5.1.1 (you can keep then side-by-side as long as they are installed in different locations). http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

    2) Does it hang every time only during program load and not during target connect? To confirm this you can launch the debugger manually and see exactly which step causes the hang.
      - right click on your .ccxml file in the Target Configurations view and select Launch Selected Configuration
      - atfer you switch to Debug perspective, go to menu Target->Connect Target
      - Go to menu Target->Load Program, browse to your project folder and load the .out file from the \Debug folder

    3) Are there only specific programs that hang during load? Have you tried the Stellarisware examples and do they load ok?

    4) Try some of the basic troubleshooting suggestions in this wiki page, specifically cleaning the workspace (step 2/3 of the General IDE section), and erasing all target cache configuration (steps 2 and 3 of the Debugger section)

    5) If the troubleshooting suggestions do not help, please provide the diagnostic logs as described here. I think the debug server log and any crash dump files would be most helpful.
