System Analyzer does not show up in tools menu CCS5.4

Leo Brugmans

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello,

I recently upgraded (read uninstall-install) to CCS5.4 (from 5.3), but now CCS notifies me that "agent" will not be supported in further releases.

So I added UIA + LoggingSetup and removed the Agent and logbuffer in my project (target is C28346)

But the menu Tools-> RTOS Analyzer is shown, but will not expend (cant see legacy-> cpu load etc).

Also I don't see the new System Analyser menu under tools.

So I tried to create a new workspace, with one of the 3 example UIA project(tried all 3) for the C28346 target. but non of them is showing the menu RTOS Analyser or System Analyser.

Anyone have an idea to fix this?

with kinds regareds,

Leo

Leo,

Did you try building and running the System Analyzer JTAG StopMode example as is, and see if the RTOS Analyzer menu items are not grayed out?

Best regards,

Janet

Yes, I build it with JTAG Stopmode.

The menu item is not grayed out, it just wont show the items underneath it when I hover my mouse over the item "RTOS Analyzer"

If I disable the System Analyser under RTSC (and exclude systemlogger from the sysbios config) then the menu item is grayed out.

With the module "Agent" back in the sys/bios configuration, the menu item is working and showing RTA legacy

Hi Leo,

I meant did you try building and running the UIA stairstep JTAG StopMode example. You can find this using the TI Resource Explore (under the "View" menu). In the TI Resource Explorer, select the example under the your device, for example:

If you can build this example and verify that the RTOS Analyzer works, we could isolate the problem to something with your project. I have seen the RTOS Analyzer menu items grayed out (as shown below), when the program was not built with UIA (eg, you didn't add LoggingSetup to your configuration), or System Analyzer cannot find the generated meta data files it needs for displaying the data (eg, you built your project outside of CCS, so the meta data files are in a different location then expected).

You could also post your .cfg file so we can see if there's something obviously wrong.

Thanks,

Janet

Have you tried opening Tools->System Analyzer->Live

Then check the boxes for what you would like to open.

I'm currently not at work for a week. I will post the .cfg file when i'm back.

--> The menu item System Analyzer is not visible, all the other items match with the picture..

You should make sure you have the latest UIA version

Also, make sure that you cfg file has "Logging Setup" enabled.

I followed the example UIA->stairstep_JTAGStopMode

But no menu is shown, see the attachment for the .cfg file.

I also upgraded to CCS 5.5, but this didn't solve the problem.

stairstep_JTAGStopMode.cfg

As you can see in the picture, the RTOS Analyser menu won't collapse and the menu System Analyser is not available.

due updating to CSC5.5 the latest version of UIA is installed.

Hi Leo,

I did not see this problem when I built the stairstep JTAG StopMode example for 28346, and ran it on the C283x simulator. This looks more like a CCS issue than TI-RTOS, so I will see about getting this post moved to the CCS Forum.

Best regards,

Janet

Leo,

First make sure you are using the CCS Debug perspective.

I think there is a bug if you use another perspective. I posted about it here.

Hi Janet,

Do you have a link for this thread in the CCS Forum?

I am experiencing the exact same problem with CCS 5.5 and UIA 1.3.1.08. I tried the staircase example, and also examples from the TI_RTOS Kernel Workshop and the RTOS Analyzer menu refuses to open.

Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Catalin.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I run the stairstepStopMode for the Piccolo F28069. Using SYS/BIOS 6.35.4.50 and UIA 1.3.1.08.

I follow all the stairstep setup steps. Play, then after a while pause. When I click on Tools and then I mouse over "RTOS Analyzer" nothing shows up. No options.

Did you make any progress on this?

Thanks,
Rick

CCSv5.5 has a system analyzer bug if you only install C28x or MSP430 or C5000 alone. The system analyzer (RTOS Analyzer) is not installed properly with "single" architectures mentioned. There is a patch for this - or you can install C6000 or Tiva-C alongside your single architecture and that will fix it too. CCSv6 apparently has this bug fix...

Here is a post on the problem:
