CCS 5.3 hangs after importing projects from the command line.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I am using CCS 5.3.0.00090.  Every so often the .metadata directory is corrupted.  The indication that it is corrupt is that stepping through a library during debug the cursor does not correlate with the line being executed -OR- a C/C++ find will put you at the wrong line.  The first indication makes the debugger next to useless.  Corruption seems to occur when you turn off power to the emulator while debugging.

In the past deleting the contents of the workspace's .metadata file worked.  But I have 16 projects I am working with.  So reimporting them is tedious.  I wrote a .bat file to call command lines to import the files.

A typical command line looks like:

C:\ti\ccsv5\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data C:\Data\Code\CCS -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location C:\Data\Code\LM4FCommon\CommonLib\trunk\ccs

This batch file used to work just fine.  Now if I import more than 6 or so projects, the next time I open CCS, it just hangs at the first project you select in the project window and CCS's title bar displays '(Not Responding)'.

Multiple questions

  1. Will there be a fix for the .metadata folder being corrupted?
  2. Is there a better way to get the debugger-C/C++ Find resynced?
  3. Why might the command line import start failing?

    Hi John,

    CCS v5.4.0 is now available.  Could you try installing it and see if you can still reproduce these issues?  Specifically referring to issue #3, a couple of project-system deadlocks have been fixed in CCS v5.4.0.  Please give it a try.

    Thanks,

    I have been able to get more than a hang.  Rather than trying to select any project, I choose to clean the workspace and I get a dialog.  (But the insert image and attach file dialogs on this web site do not work.  Any idea those buttons do not work?  It is rather annoying.)  So I will try to describe it.

    Cleaning All Projects - window title

    C/C++ Indexer - a progress bar that appears stuck at 0%  (This is probably what I am hoping for!)

    What browser are you using to try and attach images/files? I found that doesn't work with Opera but did work with Internet Explorer.

    On the subject of hanging I found that (in Windows XP) CCS 5.3 would hang on some start-ups, and had to kill CCS 5.3 and re-try. I haven't seen the issue with CCS 5.4.

    I have tried 5.4 and determined that it is toxic.  I installed.  It built my projects.  One of the reasons I moved to 5.4 was to get the latest compilers and try to avoid the problem at hand.  When I updated my projects to use the ARM5.0.5 compiler, every project became irreversibly corrupted.  I could not update to CCSN 5.4 AND ARM5.0.5.  I moved back to CCS 5.3 and got ARM5.0.5 to work.  This aborted update cycle took 8+ hours.  I do not have another 8 hours to risk on 5.4.  The uninstallers even failed.

    Unfortunately if you want folks to move to CCS 5.4, you have to remove more defects than you introduce.  This did not happen on 5.4.

    Is there even a release note for 5.4, or is 'it install it and hope wildly that it works and fixes your problem'?

    I hate to be snarky here, but between the Tiva and 5.4 updates I have just wasted a critical week of work.

    Do you have another suggestion?

    John,

    It is possible that something went wrong during your update to 5.4.  Try installing CCS v5.4 into a new directory so that you could evaluate it without losing your CCS v5.3 environment.  If you experience any problems with CCS v5.4, please bring them up in the forum.

    Thanks,
