GUI Composer Runtime

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi

I've just started playing with GUI composer and I've got a very simple counting application running on the TS430PW28 test board. The program and the GUI are functioning properly in CCS but when I deploy and try and run the runtime I get the following error in the console output.

Restarting Program Model...
Initializing target : null
sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.WrappedException: Wrapped com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment.ScriptingException: Could not start server: DebugServer.1: No configuration was supplied (<Unknown source>#8) in <Unknown source> at line number 8Restart Completed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Steve

    Hi Steve,

    It looks like you are missing the target configuration ccxml file in your deployed app. You can simply copy the ccxml file that you use within CCS into your app folder and rename it to appConfig.ccxml.

    Hi Steve, 

    The runtime does not have support for MSP430. Currently, only C2000, TMS570 and Stellaris devices are supported. This is mentioned on GC wiki in runtime download sections : http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Gui_Composer#Windows. MSP430 does not support non-intrusive memory/register access through JTAG. Thus every time a widget needs to be updated it would temporarily halt the CPU, makes the access and runs the target again. We could create a runtime with MSP430 support, but that limitation would still exist. appInitScript.js would need to be adjusted to configure these types of accesses during GUI Composer application start. For a lot of applications/systems these temporary halts can cause issues such as missed interrupts. I am not sure if this will impact what you are trying to do.

    Hi Martin

    Thanks for the info, I didn't see it while downloading the Runtime. I'm just trying out the GUI right now and unfortunately I won't be moving back on the C2000s for a while, so it looks like the smps engineer who needs a micro overseeing his latest design will have to go without a GUI for the time being.

    Thanks

    Steve

    Hi Steve, 

    Just adding MSP430 support should be pretty simple. I can do it relatively quickly. However, I am not sure if temporary halts that will need to happen to get/set data will cause issues for what you are trying to do.

    Yes please!

    This would be an awesome addition!

    I was getting ready to write some host application using LabView for a wireless sensor network using the ez430-rf2500 EVMs.

    It would save me a lot of work and headaches if I could use the GUI composer.

    This is not a time critical application. As long as I know that this may affect interrupts I can take care of it.

    Thanks,

    Arne
