Turn off Debugging Mode

To whom it may concern:

I have rather crudely been programming a micro-controller on a wireless sensing unit (WSU). The process begins with editing code in my current CCS v5 project, attaching a programming board to my laptop with the WSU properly attached to that and then selecting to debug (F11). The code gets compiled and works, but that catch is that I have to dismount the WSU and power it external in order to use it. This is because I cannot turn debugging off, also in order to reprogram the WSU I need to kill Code Composer Studio and restart and start the whole process over again. I need help making this process smoother, I should have to close out of CCS, I feel that there is a way to do what I am asking, but none of my colleagues know how to do it. Thank you very much for your help!

Also, CCS locks up every time I finish debugging.

  • Hi Benjamin,

    Do you need to close CCS because of the lock up you experience?  What target are you using and do you have an idea of the type of emulator you programming board is/mimicks?

    In order to investigate the lock up/crash we would need the error logs and any dump files (.dmp) generated.   These are hs_err log files and debug server log files.  The hs_err files are usually in the .TI directory and please ensure to check for any hidden files.

    This wiki explains enabling logging to assist in debugging:

    Please keep us informed.

  • Lisa,


    I do apologize, the issue was do to my disconnecting of the WSU, this caused my CCS session to lock up in the sense that I could no longer use it unless I killed the process. However, I did figure out the debugging issue, I can successfully enable and disable the session. Thank you for the quick reply though!

  • Hi Benjamin,

    no worries, that's what we are here for.

    Glad to hear you are past the issues and all the best with development.
