CCS stops responding when I debug Tiva C how do I get it to work? Using VMware Mac OSX and Windows 8.1 Help Please

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL

I am using:

Mac OSX 10.9.1

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory: 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 

VMware Fusion 6.0.2 with Windows 8.1 installed

I downloaded CCS 5.5

Tiva C: EK-TM4C123GXL

PROBLEM:

Following through the TivaWorkshop I downloaded everything they asked for until I got to Lab 2. In Lab 2 you get to blink an LED. The code is definitely working; my Tiva was blinking the 3 different LEDs. But as soon as I click play or pause or try to add a break the mouse pointer starts spinning and at the top of code composer it says Not Responding. Once I disconnect the Tiva C launchpad CCS responds back and everything works fine until I try to debug again.

What I have tried:

-Uninstalling code composer and installing back again.

-Shutting down windows Mac and starting them again.

Thanks you for your help

    Hi Mario,

    how did you program things in the first place, or was the blinking example pre-loaded?   I am wondering if the emulator is not being properly put through the vm.    From your despcription communication with the board seems to be where things fail.  Unfortunately we don't have a local setup to imitate and test here to see if we can reproduce this.

    Do you have any other pc available?

    Best Regards,

    Hello Lisa,

    The blinking example was pre-loaded, here is the website where I got it from:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_TIVA™_C_Series_TM4C123G_LaunchPad

    How do I check if the emulator is properly put?

    Yes, the code is loaded into the board, since I can see the blue, green, and red LEDs blink, but when I press play, pause or stop CCS stops responding. To get CCS back to work I have to disconnect the board.

    At my university, I used a PC and the program worked fine. It just does not work with my Mac.

    Thank you

    After Debugging:

    After clicking on Play, Pause and Stop:

    I tried clicking Play and then Stop, and it worked! So the problem is when I click pause or, try to insert a break point.

    Hi Mario,

    I notice the x on your usb symbol on the bottom right, so I suspect the emulator is not passing into the vm properly.  I am not sure what to suggest.   As mentioned, this is not an environment that I can test or that is "officially supported".  I would double click on that usb icon or your vm settings to see if there is something that can be done there.  

    Sorry I can't be of much further assistance, I fully understand the best case would be if we could get you up and running with your setup.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa
