Real Time - Continous Mode NOT refreshed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335, CONTROLSUITE

Hi Everybody,

I updated my CCS5 from 5.1 to 5.2.1 and since then I cannot any longer see my Expressions window being refreshed. I've been looking for similar post on the forum but no complete answers are given refernig this Issue. My MCU is a TMS320F28335 and XDS510USB emulator.

  • Hello,

    Nothing should have changed in your update from 5.1 to 5.2.1 with regards to real-time mode continuous refresh. Do you get an "Error: execution state prevented access" in the expression view or do you just not see the variable change?

    I tried this out with CCSv5.2.1 using a TMS320F28335 and XDS510USB emulator from Spectrum Digital and it worked fine. I used the CPU Timer example from controlSUITE.

  • Hi there,

    The window will not be updated, and the "Error: execution state prevented access"  does not appear.
    The debug session is configured  as Scripts > Real Time Emulation Control> Run Real Time With restart. Moreover I got on the Expression window Continuous Refresh enabled. In order to see any change on the Expressions window, I must click every time the Refresh button.

    hmmm... it looks like real-time mode is working, but the continuous refresh of the expressions window is not. Can you try viewing the same variable in the memory view and see if the continuous refresh works there?

  • With the Memory Browser I can see the variables being updated with a 500msec cycle on Real time emulation, though the Expressions window stays frozen.

  • I am experiencing the same problem with continuous refresh.  Make a change to a variable click refresh see the change....don't have continuous refresh set on with an interval of 100ms...nothing changes unless I click manual refresh.  Did you ever resolve the issue?

  • I am using CCS 5.3. My global variable does not refresh in simulator mode.

    Continues refresh is enable in expressing window.
