CCS5.2 easily crashes under Win7 64-bit

Hi,everyone!

I use ccs5.2 under win7 32-bit system and it works OK.But recently I install it under 64-bit system and there are some problems.

When I use simulator,it is still all right.But when I try to use the XDS560plus emulator,it often shows no respond .In detail,the debug session starts normally and there is no error information.But after the debug session is successfully launched and I set some breakpoints and trigger the program,the CCS5.2 often shows no respond.

I think the code is OK since it runs well when I use 32-bit system,is there anything else should be noticed when using ccs5 under 64-bit system or it do have some bugs because it is only for a 32-bit system?

Thanks,

zhao

  • Hi Zhao,

    do you have the 64 bit XDS drivers installed?  Do you see problems with all projects/workspaces?  Is the problem only related to breakpoints?

    A bit further information would help.

  • Hi Lisa,

    Thank you for your advice and I've updated my emulator driver as you recommended. But the problem is still unsolved,it seems CCS crashes occasionally when debugging and has no specific relationship with the breakpoints.This time when I step over my code,it's OK,next time it crashes.

    Since you mentioned the XDCtools version,is there any specific version for 64-bit?My XDCtools version is 3.23.03.53,which is automaticly downloaded when installing CCS5,is it all right?

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Lisa,

    A bit more information:

    When I set a breakpoint,the program can stop at the breakpoint normally.When I run the program and then suspend it, it shows the program is still running and I can't stop it,and I can't terminate the debug session,either.When I use simulator the program runs OK and can be suspended,it seems the problem lies in the emulator?But the emulator works OK when I use 32-bit system.

    Could you please offer me more advice?thank you.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Zhao,

    as a next step would you check whether you have any error logs or dump files (.dmp) generated when the crash occurs.  This wiki explains more about these logs.

    Is there another program, device plugged in or something in the "crash" case that is not opened or pluged in when things work?  How often is the crash?  Does this happen on other 64 bit installs do you know?  Have you seen this with other projects/workspaces?

    Best Regards,

  • I have the exact same problem frequenctly. It will definitely happen when I try to close the graph tool while the program is still running.
