Debug Assertion Failed - CCSv6

Aartig, thanks for the reply.

First, as a spinoff to this subject, I had searched for "Debug Assertion Failed" and got no proper results. Some 30 posts appeared as the search result, and looking at each of them, none seemed to be what I needed. Interesting, the topic you suggested has that very exact title, but it does not show up on my results! Further, I noticed that the TI site layout has changed recently, and I no longer have something like "Search on the Forums", but rather only the general top bar "Search through millions of questions and answers". Could there be something wrong on the search engine of the site?

Back to the matter, in fact the reply makes sense. The arm compiler command shows on the console as having â€œC:/ti/TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.0.12573â€?.

"c:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/arm_5.1.10/bin/armcl" -mv7M4 --code_state=16 --float_support=FPv4SPD16 --abi=eabi -me --include_path="c:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/arm_5.1.10/include" --include_path="“C:/ti/TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.0.12573â€?" -g --gcc --define=ccs="ccs" --define=PART_TM4C123AH6PM --display_error_number --diag_warning=225 --diag_wrap=off --preproc_with_compile --preproc_dependency="tm4c123ah6pm_startup_ccs.pp"  "../tm4c123ah6pm_startup_ccs.c"

However, I looked upon the include path settings a few times, and the dirty characters are not there. I erased the include paths and retyped, to no results... Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Bruno,

First, I am glad you were able to identify the location and reason for the non-ASCII characters and fix the problem.

Second, I agree that searching effectively on the forums can sometimes be a challenge and I wanted to provide some suggestions in that regard.

When you are within a forum, say Code Composer Forum, and you type something to search in the "Search through millions of questions and answers" search box and DO NOT hit Enter, the search is only performed within that forum. In this particular case, the error being a compiler error, the related threads on this topic were actually in the Compiler Forum and not in the Code Composer Forum, which is likely the reason you did not find them. If you instead type your search terms in the top box and hit ENTER, it searches all E2E forums. Once the results are displayed, you can further narrow your search through additional filters found on the right side of the page, so you can view only threads from a specific forum etc. In fact, this is exactly how I found the related thread that I sent in my response. I hope this will be somewhat helpful in your future searches.

This seems to be very specific, but if the CCS programmers could take this as a suggestions, verify the paths on the properties settings, and clearly warn for bad ones if found!

I'm not sure if anything can be done in the tools to detect and warn about this, as the error could come from many different places, like environment variables, name of the PC etc.
