verify trace analyzer of CCSV5.3

after installed CCSV5.3, i tried to verify the "trace analyzer" functionality by using the "streaming.tdf" and "streaming.out" as mentioned in the HELP document.

but there is nothing appeared to show the trace, and i found one new line of log in "Error Log" view; it shows that some java class can't found.

it seems that other functionality of CCS is working. could you help to give hints on this issue? thanks.

    Hi,

    I just tried this with my CCSv5.3.0 and it worked fine; I wonder if there is something else going on with the debug session. I am using a C64x+ CPU Cycle Accurate simulator (little endian) and all the components are the defaults (I did not add any updates). I tried that on both Win7/64 and WinXP/32

    I wonder if doing a small cleanup would help anything. Typically the steps shown at the sections General IDE and Debugger at the CCSv5 Troubleshooting page.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    thanks for the reply.

    some information about my computer: PC is win7/64bit and JRE7 already installed and no errors with it before or after i install CCSv5.3; i also have Eclipse c/c++ tool installed and works fine.the install of CSSV5.3 was after uninstall CCSV5.0.

    i have tried to delete ".TI", ".metadata" dir to make it a clean run; when i try the trace analyzer, i didn't start a debug session but just open the .tdf and .out file(do i need to start the debug session then open the trace file? actually i have a workable debug configuration(c64+) and able to run a simple helloworld program)

    i suppose there is no need to change anything for Windows environment varaible setting.

    Hi,

    The JRE7 does not influence CCS, as it installs and runs a known good compatible version inside the directory ccsv5/eclipse/jre. Also, there is no need to set any environment variable or have a debug session running to open the Trace Viewer.

    One additional detail: some releases of CCSv5 (I think 5.3 is one of them) create a directory in the C:\Users\<username> called .TI-trace. Can you try to locate this directory and move or delete it and restart CCS?

    Apart from this I really am not sure what may be happening. The Trace file viewer is something ingrained into CCSv5 (part of a larger component called DVT) and therefore if this issue is blocking I would either uninstall/reinstall or install in a separate directory.

    I apologize for the inconvenience,

    Rafael
