Code Composer V3.3 - Memory Save/Load Utility

Sean Seifert
Prodigy 80 points
According to Code Composer help documentation the "Memory Load/Save Utility" should be be in the Tools menu. In my Code Composer 3.3 (which I have to use for this project, so I cannot upgrade), does not have this option in the tools menu, or any menu that I could find. It is not greyed out - the memory save/load utility is just simply missing as far as I can tell. I've changed every view option to try and enable this, but still cannot find see it.

Can anyone help me figure out how to enable/activate this option? Does the processor need to be in a specific state? Is this a special plug-in that I can't find?

Below are my specific stats: (Updating code composer is, unfortunately, not an option). 

  1. Version of the host OS: Windows XP 32-bit, Service Pack 3
  2. Provide exact version number: 3.3.38.2
  3. If applicable, exact device/board: Spectrum Digital xds510pp 
  4. I can find my target, load code onto the processor - everything seems work fine, except that I would like to use this memory save/load feature to download memory at a certain address for a certain length.

    The Memory Load/Save Utility was supported on only a limited number of devices on CCSv3.3. 54x for sure. I *think* maybe ARM7/9. I don't think 6x was supported.

    What device are you using?

    ARM9 DM335 is what I am connecting to.

    The instructions that I am referencing say that the tools>memory save/load utility needs to be used, and this is the same processor as those test instructions were written for. So I am pretty sure that this is possible, I'm just not sure why I cannot see the option in the tools menu.

    Launch the component manager via the comp_mgr.exe file in <CCSv3 INSTALL DIR>\cc\bin. Then under the' Texas Instruments Inc. node, check that the memory load/save utility is enabled (has a 'check' in the check box).

    Under the Texas Instruments Node, I only see RealTimeAnalysis (as shown below). I could not find a download link for the Memory Save/Load Utility or find it locally on the PC I'm using. Do you have a download link or a way to install this?

    Thanks!

    Is that it??? You are missing A LOT of plugins. And the one thing you do have is disabled. This looks like a bad install. I'm surprised you got CCS to work at all then if they are truly missing. You may want to try a reinstall.

    Yes - that was all of the plugins installed. I would prefer to just try and enable that one plugin if that is possible? Otherwise I'll do the reinstall.

    There was a standalone install for the memory utility but that was for CCSv2. After that it came bundled with CCSv3.

    I recommend the reinstall because you are missing so many essential plugins. I'm not sure what happened in your case. Do you have a full CCSv3.3 version or some limited eval version (if it came with a kit like a DSK, it is a limited version)

    Not sure - what would be the best way to tell if the version is limited or not? Is there a way to tell from the version?

    I looked through our eval board kits but didn't see the original CCS 3.3 install disc. I have a few more places to check - I will get back to you if I can find it or not.

    Your version number says it is an un-patched version of CCSv3.3. You can try updating to the latest CCSv3.3 SR but really I recommend a full reinstall.

    If you registered your copy of CCS, we can look up your info and see what exactly you have.

    I found our original install disk with user and service code. Tomorrow I will first try repairing the installation, if that does not work I will do a complete uninstall then reinstall.

    I will let you know the results then. (Hopefully resolving this issue!)

    The disk I referenced only contains Code Composer Studio 2.X/3.X Drivers for Spectrum Digital Emulators (not the IDE). 

    Is there any way we can get another CD / Download with code composer 3.3? I believe I found our original service code and username, which I can email you if needed?

    Start a private conversation with me. Check the  CCS Forum Guidelines & FAQ on how to do this.

    Thanks
