Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS
Hello all,
We have recently acquired a C6678 DSP for the purpose of running some custom benchmarks. We have found a great tool in CCS v5 called System Analyzer, which allows us to examine and analyze particular data. We, however, are entirely new to System Analyzer and CCS in general. For that reason, we have been following the System Analyzer tutorials found in the wiki page. We successfully ran tutorials 1 and 2, but tutorial 3 has been giving us a whole lot of problems.
When we first try to build our project for tutorial 3A, following the instructions on the tutorial step-by-step, we get the following error message:
**** Build of configuration Debug for project Tutorial3A ****

The error states that two variables must be set to false, Load.hwiEnabled and Load.swiEnabled. The variables are located in the .cfg file of our project:
When we change the values of the variables to true and we build the project once again, the configuration is successful and the .out file is built:

However, when we open the Live Session: Logs window of System Analyzer, we only see two log entries. The tutorial states that there should be new log entries every 20 seconds, but we always only have two:
What could we be doing wrong? Or perhaps our particular configuration is causing the problem?
Our version of CCS is 5.2.
I will provide any additional information if needed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
