RTA debugging in C55 multiprocessor environment

Diego de la Cruz

I am using Code Composer Studio Version: 5.5.0.00077

I am trying to debug a system with two C55 DSPs that run different software. I can connect to both targets and run with breaking points on both DSPs.
But RTA tools and printf logs only work on one of the DSPs at a time.
Is it possible to make RTA work on both DSPs during the same run?
Is there any special configuration setting I should be doing that I am missing?

Hello,
Can you explain when you say that RTA only works on one DSP at a time? Are you saying that you want to see RTA view updates simultaneously for both cores? If so, I'm not sure if you can pin the RTA views to a core so you can try creating multiple workbench windows with each having context of each DSP:

Thanks

RTA only communicates with the first target that was connected, not with the second target.
When I click on the first target I am able to see raw logs, printf logs, statistics, CPU load...
But when I click on the second target, all RTA and log windows are void except for the RTOS Object viewer.

I tried the multiple windows approach but it doesn't work. RTA only sees one of the DSPs. Only one RTOS object viewer is active and points to the objects corresponding to the DSP that is selected in the active Debug window.
