Code Composer Studio doesn't work properly

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODECOMPOSER, CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I have some problem with CodeComposer Studio v5.5.0 and v6.1.1.

I am working with Concerto f28m35.

I can not use project properties windows of any project properly . When I open the project properties from project explorer, two windows are opened with the name of "Properties for **projectname**". I closed one properties window. The other one is still open. After I click any of properties steps, I meet some errors.

For example, after I click "Build" step, I meet the following window:

After closing this window, click "ARM Complier" step and the same error occured. After click OK button on this window, the following window is showed:

 

To solve this problem, I uninstalled the CCS software. After that, I reinstalled the CCS, but there is no change.

I updated the java, but the problem is same.

While adding an watch expression, two expression windows are opened same time. I write the variable name in the field and close the first window.

The second window is still open. 

I can not change optimization level or heap size, stack size, etc. In brief, I can not change any properties of project.

How can I solve this problem?

  • Ahmet,

    This is a strange error that I haven't seen before. I would suggest trying the troubleshooting tips in this page first, specifically trying with a new workspace.

  • AartiG,

    I've tried all troubleshooting tips, but the problems that I mentioned above are still continuing.

  • I'm afraid I don't have any other good suggestions at the moment.

    Could you try installing the latest CCS 6.1.3 into a separate directory and see if the behavior persists with that version?
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

    Also out of curiosity, is the behavior specific to one PC? (in case you are able to install and test on a different PC or have already done so)

  • Thank you AartiG,

    The situation is specific for my PC. My colleagues don't have a problem like that. I have been using CCS 5.5 for years on same PC, but I have never seen these errors before.
    I will probably format my PC and then I will install CCS again. I couldn't solve problems anyways.

  • Hi,

    Before format the pc, I upgraded windows 7 to windows 10.
    Upgrade to windows 10 solved all problems that I mentioned above.

  • Very glad to hear that all the problems are resolved!
  • Hi There,

    I had the exact same issue. After digging around, around and around, I have found out that the issue was resolved by disabling NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager. (I'm using Dual Monitor Setup)

    The resolution was found since I was searching for a notepad++ issue, which was minimizing on copy actions. When I found that disabling nView Desktop Manager resolved the notepad++ issue, I checked code composer studio as descibed by ahmet bakır, and found out it also solved this issue.

    I already saw in the eclipse error log (located in the .metadata folder) that it had to do with some displaying issue:

    //////////////

    Hope this helps for other people searching for the same issue as I did for quite a while
