CCS Version: 5.3.0.00090, guicomposer V1 does not complete loading. Windows 7 64-bit OS.

Hi Slav,

I have build 1.7 installed on a Win7 64bits machine and was able to start the example gui app. I am wondering if proxy setting on your PC is an issue or not. Do you by any chance know if port 7272 is blocked or not?

Can you run this command in the console to start the gui app and attach the text from the console to this thread?

<install dir>\guicomposer\eclipse\GUIComposer.exe -console -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3

thanks,
Patrick 

Hi Patrick,

I have tried your suggestion. Please find console output below.

Hi Patrick,

I have tried guicomposer with firewall disabled and still no luck. I also checked internet explorer and it is not using proxy for connection to the internet.

Hi Bronislav,

Could you add -debug to the command line (after -console), it is missing from my original command line that I sent. It should provide more information in the console.

Also, when the app opens, you can right click on it and select copy url from the context menu. Try to open firefox or chrome and past the url and see if it opens the app in the browser or not. I like to see if this is an app internal browser issue or a general webserver issue.

In case you can't see the copy context menu before the browser switch to the app page, here is the link that I copied from my gui app. You need to replace ipaddress with your own pc address, the name of your pc should work.

Hi Patrick,

Please find results after adding -debug option to the command console.

By the way I am running Java 64 version 6 update 31 build 1.6.0_31-b05. I have noticed -os win32 and -ws win32 in the console output below.

5822.Running GUIComposerURL in Chrome.pdf

Hi Patrick,

I have tried latest Java Version 7 Update 17, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. No change. Application still gets stuck on Loading.

Additional system information: Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 3.2Ghz, 16GByte memory, W7 Professional Service Pack 1.

Hi Bronislav, 

GUI Composer includes its own version of JRE, it is in GCInstallDir/guicomposer/eclipse/jre subfolder. However, your observation is correct in that a 32bit JRE is required, even if you are running a 64 bit version of windows. GUI Composer probably was not using installed version of the JRE as preference is always to use local copy first. If you wanted to try it out, you could rename jre folder in eclipse to something different. If local "jre" can not be found, then system java is used. 

It seems like the webserver can not start or it can not load some files. I have tried that exact same version of GC installer and it starts up fine for me(win 7 pro, 64bit). Right after that "Loading" progress bar, you should see console output with text below, if using the sample app. When that text starts appearing, then debug connection loading of a program and other initialization actually takes place. In your case, it does not seem like you are getting there. Can you think of any windows configuration settings that might prevent the webserver from starting? (e.g. security settings, port restrictions, etc)

Hello Borislav,

Can you extend the tracing Patrick suggested earlier by copying the attached file traceAll.properties to the guicomposer\eclipse folder and changing the command to “GUIComposer.exe -console -debug traceAll.properties -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3”

After you attach the log to this thread I’ll look at it.

Regards

Dobrin

Better yet,

Once you've copied traceAll.properties from the previous post copy the attached file eclipsec.exe to the guicomposer\eclipse folder and run the command

eclipsec.exe -debug traceAll.properties -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3 > all.log 2>&1

All logs will be redirected to guicomposer\eclipse\all.log and you can attach that file to the post.  

Dobrin

Hi Dobrin,

I have performed the following steps as suggested.

1. Copied attached  traceALL.properties and eclipse.exe files into c:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse directory.

2. Opened command prompt and changed directory to c:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse.

3. Run eclipsec.exe -debug traceAll.properties -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3 > all.log 2>&1

4. Please find c:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse\all.log attached.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you Borislav, for the log. 

Unfortunately, there is no much in the log.

Can you try even more logging: add -Dlog.LEVEL=ALL to the command line and attach the new file:

eclipsec.exe -debug traceAll.properties -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3 -Dlog.LEVEL=ALL  > all.log 2>&1

Thanks

Dobrin

Hi Dobrin,

Following your suggestions I have performed the following tasks.

1. Opened command prompt and changed directory to c:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse

2. Executed command GUIComposer.exe -debug traceAll.properties -vmargs -Dgc.webApp=modem_m3 -Dlog.LEVEL=ALL >all.log 2>&1

3. Executing the command above created all.log text file with 0 byte length (e.g. file was empty). I have manually captured content of the opened window into the text file attached.

Thanks for helping me.

Hello Sval,

Thank you for trying the new logging!

Unfortunately, the log file you attached does not give me additional clues of what may be wrong with that machine.

To continue investigating the issue I need to add more tracing to the code and send you new jar files.

It may take few iterations of me sending you files and you running them on that machine.

Are you willing to spend additional time on this?

Dobrin

Hi Dobrin,

I would like to continue. GUIComposer looks like a useful tool. It will be good to get it to work on a fast computer. Let me know what I need to do next.

-Slav.

Thank you Slav for your time.

Right now we are preparing a new GUI Composer Runtime and we'll make it available to you in the next few days.

If you still have problems with that one, I can incrementally add more tracing so we can localize the problem. 

Dobrin

Slav,

You mentioned that you also have a machine with working GUI Composer Runtime.

Can you compare the proxy/firewall settings between the working and the non-working machine?

Is it possible to make a WebEx session to the machine that does not work?

If yes, what time is the most convenient to you?

Thanks

Dobrin

Hi Dobrin,

1. Proxy server is not used. I can see that by examining LAN settings in the Internet Explorer.

2. Our company is using Kaspersky End Point Security 10 for Windows. However, I have asked our IT manager to temporary uninstall it and tried GUIComposer without any firewalls. Windows Firewall was also disabled at a time. Problem persisted.

3. I am located in Melbourne Australia. Where are you located? I would like to align WebEx session so that our IT manager will be still in the office in case we need to disable Kaspersky again. It may difficult if you are located in Texas. Time in Texas Houston is 12 hours behind time in Melbourne. We can try first WebEx session with Kaspersky still running. Our IT recons that Kaspersky will not interfere with WebEx. What time (Texas Houston time) is convenient for you? I can also connect on Skype.

4. Can I have your direct email address. It will speed up our communications.

-Slav.

Hi Slav,

I updated my profile in TI E2E ( dalexiev@ti.com , Toronto, Canada). You can send me e-mails directly.

Looks like you have done your best to get the proxy suspect out of the picture.

Can you try installing the newly uploaded GUI Composer Runtime (CCS 5.4) from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:GUI_Composer

If the problem still persist I can give you some jar files to replace with more detailed tracing.

If that doesn’t help, I’ll contact you during your working hours.

Regards

Dobrin

Here is the newest version of the JAR file with a possible fix. 

Hi Dobrin,

I have received communication from Lisa at TI that she considers the GUIComposer not working on Intel Xeon CPU issue resolved. I would like to keep it open until TI will make  an official release for the GUIComposer with DRV8301_RM48_FOC_SMO_wEncoder webapp that installs and works on Xeon CPU "out of the box".

Thanks for your help,

-Bronislav.

Slav,

Did you get your system running? It seems that I have the same problem:

Hi Matt,

Did you get your system running? It seems that I have the same problem:

Slav's issue was in the GC Runtime Jetty server. The GC Designer uses a different Jetty server. If you like to see whether you have the same issue or not, can you install the GC Runtime and see if the example app is functional? This can help to narrow down whether the GC Designer's Jetty server has the same issue as the GC Runtime Jetty server or not.

Thanks,
Patrick 

Hi Matt,

My problem was that GUIcomposer did not work correctly (e.g. did not start) on a system with a 6 core Intel Xeon CPU. At the same time it work correctly on my laptop with Intel i7 CPU. Both systems had W7 Professional 64-bit. TI had found the problem and will implement a fix in a new release of the GUIcomposer as well as updating Hercules motor control webapp. They will let me know when it will happen via post.

Kind Regards,

-Slav. 

I'd like to offer the following to this thread as it appears related. I recently had a very similiar issue with Gui Composer not starting in CCv5. After checking my network, disabling the firewall, disabling virus scanner, verifying JRE, Gui Composer would still not start. This is on a Windows 7 64-bit installation on a Core i5 system.

I use both VirtualBox and Vmware virtual machines. Both of these VMs install virtual network adapters to support the Host OS ethernet connections in the Guest OS. For some reason, if I disable all of these virtual network adapters, Gui Composer will start.

It may not be the same root cause as the above issues, but it seems worth adding to the list of items to verify when Gui Composer will not start.

I've installed the virtual machines as well. I've installed the Vmware and Microsoft Virtual PC. Maybe this is what it comes from?

I think there are some mixed up posts in this thread. The original issue of this thread is that GUI Composer app doesn't start in the runtime environment. And there are few cross posts regarding GUI Composer (designer) not start under VM environment. The runtime environment issue is fixed in the Jetty server. 

Regarding the designer issue under VM. I was able to reproduce it using Windows7 64bits guest under VirtualBox. One solution was offered by Brian Shay. I also played with the network setting, after I enter the correct proxy setting in the Windows "Internet Properties" dialog, GUI Composer designer starts to work. I was able to use the chrome browser for the GUI Composer designer. I hope this help for people that uses VM to run CCS/GUI Composer.

Regards,
Patrick 

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the additional information. However, my scenario is different. I did not mean to imply that I am running GUI composer in a guest OS VM environment. I merely have VirtualBox and VMware installed on the same computer as CCSv5.4. Somehow the Virtual Network adapters that VirtualBox and VMware install are interfering with GUIComposer under CCSv5.4 from running. I had to disable each one of these to get GUI composer in CCSv5.4 to run(There are no VMs running at all)

Regards,

Brian
