CCS V5.4 crashes when loading code

CCS V 5.4 crashes after debugger is activated when trying to load firmware into a system. Debug interface red light goes on, progress bar moves, then CCS aborts and closes. The system was working until today. Used many times before to load code. Using the MSP430 USB Debug Interface MSP-FET430UIF.

The debug.log indicates:

[0804/011924:ERROR:gpu_info_collector_win.cc(91)] Can't retrieve a valid WinSAT assessment.
[0804/011929:ERROR:renderer_main.cc(218)] Running without renderer sandbox


Does this this log file explain the issue? Suggested next step to fix?

    While trying to investigate a different problem, I have noticed those errors in the debug.log file in the CCS 5 eclipse directory. These errors only seem to be reported if the TI Resource Explorer is open, i.e. the errors stop being reported if the TI Resource Explorer window is closed.

     I haven't yet determine the significance of these errors, but try closing the TI Resource Explorer window and see if the errors stop being reported, and if that stops CCS crashing.

    [This thread is currently the only one on E2E which mentions these errors]

    Those errors are reported by the Chromium Browser which CCS 5 uses for the TI Resource Explorer.

    The "Running without renderer sandbox" error is reported because CCS 5 starts the Chromium Browser with the --no-sandbox command line option.

    The "Can't retrieve a valid WinSAT assessment" error is reported because the Windows System Assessment Tool results for the graphics card can't be read. Web searching found many instances of this error, but no obvious guidance on if it is a problem - but given that the TI Resource Explorer operates even when this error is displayed don't believe it is an issue. [I did find the error message in the Chromium Browser source code - but didn't analyze the code]

    In summary, haven't found anything which suggests that the errors in debug.log explain the CCS crash.

    I'm moving this to the Code Composer forum to see if they have heard of this issue.

    We will probably need you to provide some logs to help see what is wrong. See this post for more information about reporting CCS issues: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/3131.aspx

    Since CCS crashes, they recommend in that post that you provide the Diagnostic logs after the crash: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv5#CCS_Diagnostic_Logs

    Hi LL,

    Can you try:

    -using a new workspace

    -clearing out target cache

    and if the above fails, please generate a debug server log, zip and attach it here.

    How to do all of the above is documented here:

    Thanks
