Tivaware - TM4C129XNCZAD - CCS v5 - Blinky example - Can't find a source file

I am having a hard time getting started with CCS v5. I am using a TIVA C - TM4C129XNCZAD Launchpad board. To use as a template, I am first trying to walk through the Tivaware "Blinky" Example provided with the launchpad board. This example gives 4 steps. I cannot get step 4 (Debug the imported project) to work. When I try to debug it I receive the following error:

It seems as though a file is missing. Any idea how to fix it?

  • Hi Marshall,

    This error "can't find source file" happens when you debug into a c code, in which the file is not included in your project view. So this is normal.

    Try debugging other example programs also like "hello". Also, I recommend that you use the latest CCS version.

  • It is not an error. boot.asm is part of the run-time support library. The reason why the debugger can't find it is because the path for it in the debug symbols is the location it was in when the library was built. If you want to open the source, it is in the rtssrc.zip file in <INSTALL DIR>\ccsv5\tools\compiler\arm_5.1.1\lib

    In any case it looks like you successfully ran to main by looking at your call-stack

    thanks

  • You would think that moving to a newer version would have less errors. Unfortunately this has not been my experience with CCS v6. I will move over to it again I suppose.
