Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Helllo everyone,

Environment Info:

OS : Windows 7

LP : CC3200

Software : CCS v6.0.0

When I plugged in my CC3200 LP into my system, system got hardware exception and restarted after completing scan for memory dump. After this I have opened my project in CCS but unfortunately one of my C file is showing no content, however file size is exactly same as before. Notepad++ is showing many "NULL" on screen. Does the file get corrupted? Is there any way I can get it back? Code inside file is very important for me.

Thanks,

Niral

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.

Hi Gautam,

Thanks for confirming.. ("Now I can start working on it again ..!!")

I am still wondering reason behind this incident.

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.
