failed connection between CCSv4 and DSK6455

Dear Ti

I'm working with CCSv4 4.2.5.00005. The OS is windows 7 64 bit Professional edition. My board is a DSK6455 from spectrum Digital. I'm working with them since two years.

Last week the system failed and there is no connection between CCS and DSK. I use the usb port. The driver was disabled but I restored it. But the connection is not possible.

CCS starts well, appears a little window with usb enumeration, disappears, appears other window with the proper steps to make the connection but when the system is in the connection step it goes into a loop.

I have followed your indications, at the faqs and other (-clean option, new workspace) but the problem persists.

Before the problem occured I plugged in a memory flash in the same usb port that I use for the DSK6455. Is this a problem?

Please, could you help me?

Best regards.

    Sounds like an issue with usb enumeration for the onboard emulator. This can be tricky. It is really an issue with communication between the spectrum digital driver on the PC and the on board emulator and less a CCS issue. I suggest taking a look at the SD troubleshooting guide also (Chapter 3):

    http://support.spectrumdigital.com/guides/troubleshooting_guide/

    Other things people have done is to reboot the PC or try a new USB port.

    I'd also try contacting spectrum digital support

    I really doubt it. It should not be a problem.

    Thanks

  • Hello Ki

    I rebooted my laptop, tried the other usb ports but the problem persists.

    I have another laptop (identical hp probook 6560b) with the same version of CCS and it works perfectly, I think is a problem with MS windows and/or CCS.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Best regards.

  • Most likely it is an issue with the driver or MS registry. Hopefully Spectrum Digital can provide some suggestions also.

  • Hi Ki

    I sent the post to SD but they didn't give me any soluction. I wanted to uninstall CCS but I couldn't. I read in the forum and I've removed the CCS (x86 TI) folder and I've reinstalled CCS  in my new folder c:\my_ccs,  there was now a problem with SWT libraries, I've removed 2 SWT files and I've reinstalled them.

    Well, but I have now a problem with this:  "option --include_path is missing its parameter 'dir'". It appear when I build the project. I have read some forums and I've found the problem, you can view the attached file. But I don't find how I can remove the wrong entry "--include_path ="" 

    Could you help me please?

    Best regards.

    In the include options under the build properties, select the bad entry and use the delete button to remove it:

  • Dear Ki

    There aren't any "" in my Include_Options. I've tested it and I've found the following error: If I remove "${TCONF_OUTPUT_DIR}" then --include_path ="" disappears.

    If I add "${TCONF_OUTPUT_DIR}" again (push button apply) then --include_path =""  is annotated.

    Please, I need a solution .

    Best regards.

  • Sounds like ${TCONF_OUTPUT_DIR} is incorrectly defined (defined to null).

    Check the value for the macro and see if it is set correctly. If not, try setting the value to a valid location.
