CCS automatically Shutdown when running 2nd debug

Hi,

I have installed CCS V6.1.3.33 on my computer.  I can only run debug one time after launch the CCS. If I stop the debug section and try to run debug again, CCS always shutdown automatically without any message or notice. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Thank you.

  • Hello,
    What device and debug connection are you using? Also please provide any crash dump and debug server logs:

  • Hi Ki,

    The log file was attached. The microprocessor is MS430F2619 and I use MSP-FET430UIF programmer to debug the code. The OS is WinXP-64 English version.

    The version of CCS is V6.1.3.33.

    Thank you.

  • Thanks.

    You mentioned Windows XP with MSP430. It is very likely that you are running into a known issue with the msp430.dll, where CCS will crash on the 2nd launch of a debug session. This issue is fixed in the latest CCSv6.1.3 release for all operating systems except Windows XP. The MSP team is working on a general fix which will apply to all OS (including XP), but that is not available yet (I don't know yet when it will be available). So there are currently two options until the new dll is available. One is to move to a non-XP machine. The other is to use a workaround of avoid terminating the existing debug session once it is up and running. There is no need to constantly terminate the existing debug session. You can still rebuild the project and reload it while leaving the debug session running the whole time. In fact, the debugger will detect that the program was rebuilt and ask you if you wish to reload it. Hopefully the fix for the dll for XP will be available soon.

    Thanks

  • Hi Ki,

    Thank you for your reply. I followed your second suggestion and CCS didn't crash again. I'm looking forward to receiving the fixed version. That will be convenient for me. Thank you again.
