CCS 5.3.0.00090 Crash while re-starting debugger using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Parallels Virtual Machine

Hi everyone,

I recently started using Code Composer Studio 5.3 on my Parallels virtual machine for MSP430 development.  CCS is crashing frequently during debugging efforts.  The crash/instability occurs when re-starting a debug session without shutting down CCS.  The first time that I start up the jtag debugger, I have no issues.  And sometimes it will even work into the second or third session.  But it ALWAYS crashes if you get it enough time.

I have attached the error log.  Any advice about how to alleviate this issue would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Colin

    Colin,

    I believe you are running into this issue: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/233448.aspx

    Alex replied to that thread with how to rebuild the msp430.dll with a boost patch.  Alternatively you can wait for CCS 5.4, or try the 5.4 beta (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Code_Composer_Studio_Beta_Downloads) as it should be fixed in that version.  Lastly, you can try to avoid terminating the debug session - try to compile and re-load the program instead of terminating and relaunching.

    Thanks Darian,

    I will download and install the 5.4 beta.  Do you have a sense of how "beta" it really is?  I would prefer to not jump from the frying pan directly into the fire.

    Thanks,

    Colin

    Colin,

    I don't personally know and I expect the official stance is that it's "beta" quality.  However, it should be safe to install it into another folder so you can use it at the same time as CCS 5.3.  That way you can always revert back if there are other problems.

    You could even take the libmsp430.so file from the 5.4 beta and copy it to the 5.3 install if you just want this one fix (just be sure to backup the original one first).  It should be in located here: ccsv5/ccs_base/DebugServer/drivers/libmsp430.so

    Darian, Thanks!  I ended up just taking the libmsp430.so file and putting it into the 5.3 build.  So far this appears to fix the issue!  Thanks!
