File lost in CCS v6.0.0

Hi Niral,

Did you check the file in your workspace ?

@Gautam,

Yes, file is there in workspace but when I open it from there in notepad++ I am seeing so many NULL. It showing nothing in notepad as well as CCS.

Hello Niral,

Sometimes a .bak file is created in the same directory.  Also, make sure you are in the correct directory (i.e. not in the release or debug directory) and the file is a source file (.c or cpp or etc.).

Hello Stevenh,

I am in correct directory and file is source file (.c) only.. There is no .bak file in my project directory. Source file also showing size of 14kB which was actual file size before this problem arise.

Try to open it with notepad (not notepad ++)?  Did you set the compiler to generate assembly interleaved with source code (check the release/debug directory).  If so, you could retrieve your source from those files.

Did you have your files on a network drive?  Usually, the IT makes backups of network drives.  If so, you could ask them to restore the files.

Hi stevenh,

I have only corrupted source file (.c). I have tried opening file with notepad as well but couldn't get anything.

Sorry Niral, seems like the file has indeed got corrupted.

Niral... the above statement of yours ie "system got hardware exception" is something very critical fault that your system went through.
This seems the reason of your file corruption. What I'm unable to understand is the relation between plugging in the board to trigger such an issue!

Hi Gautam,

We are working with various lauchpad of TI since last 1.5 years. Such an incident never happened with us that is why we don't keep back up of files. However we'll start backing up our files from now on.
