Debug Server Scripting from Uniflash v4 (beta version uniflash.4.0.891.exe) .dll error

Mathieu,

In the past we bundled the JRE with Uniflash v3. It was needed by the UI in v3 as well as DSS. The UI in v4 doesn't need it but DSS still does. The system JRE that you have won't work as UniFlash is a 32bit application on Windows and your system JRE will be 64bit. On Linux and Mac we are now 64bit but Windows is going to stay 32bit for a while longer. We will be providing more instructions on this as v4 gets officially released.

John

Thanks John for your answer.

I went to the TI site and it looks like that v4 is now released (7 Oct 2016).

In the guideline it is written as you indicated that JRE is not anymore provided. But still does not know how to do to make DDS working on v4.

Thanks to indicate to me how to do when you have the information from your side.

Thanks and best regards,

Mathieu

Mathieu,

It is our goal to have the guide out this week on how to get DSS working with UniFlash v4.

John

Great! Thanks to indicate to me how to do when you have the information from your side.

Mathieu,

Good news is that it looks like it is pretty straight forward to get it going. With the GA release the team added all the DSS items back in with the exception of the JRE.

I have a draft of the instructions here:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../UniFlashv4_DSS

I have been running a few tests and it seems to be working fine. I will run some more later today.

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your support.

I tried, it seems to be better but I am still stuck.

In my script I have:

importPackage(Packages.com.ti.debug.engine.scripting)
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment)
importPackage(Packages.java.lang)
importPackage(Packages.java.io)

var emulator_path = (root_path + "../TMS320F28335_emulator.ccxml");

var script       = ScriptingEnvironment.instance();
script.setScriptTimeout(200000); //20 secondes 

var debugServer  = script.getServer("DebugServer.1");

debugServer.setConfig(emulator_path);
script.traceWrite("setConfig Done!");
var debugSession = debugServer.openSession('.*');

The result of: debugServer.openSession('.*'); is not OK.

I have the following error:

js> var debugSession = debugServer.openSession('.*')
SEVERE: Cannot read System Setup data from XML file C:\MANUF_~1\TMS320~1.CCX
Error parsing file:
Fatal Error at (0, 0): An exception occurred! Type:RuntimeException, Message:The

 while parsing file: C:\ti\uniflash_4.0\deskdb\content\TICloudAgent\win\ccs_base
\common\targetdb\connections\SD510USB_Connection.xml

Do you have an idea?

Does the format of ccxml changed ?

Thanks

Mathieu

Mathieu,

No change in the format of the ccxml. In looking at my UniFlashv4 install (i wiped and did another one just to be sure) I don't see the drivers for the Spectrum Digital 510USB. I am going to see if I can extract the driver installer from CCSv6.2. I don't see a separate driver package on Spectrum's website for CCSv6. You could probably copy them over from CCS but there are a number of files in different folders that are required, thus I will see if I can get the installer.

Regards,
John

I installed the drivers but I get the same error as you.  Will need to dig into this more.

In talking with the dev team there is no way to add SD support to UniFlash v4 today. There is some other information that gets read that does not comprehend SD. We need to have some discussions on if this will happen. One challenge will be that the 510 is not supported in 64bit applications. i.e. when UniFlash moves to being a 64bit application on Windows (like it is on Linux and Mac) then this would have to be dropped.

I launched UniFlash v4 for my TMS320F28335 device.

It appears that only 5 "Connections" are available (Texas Instruments Probe Only).

Is it plan to support other Probes? (As SD ones)?

Thanks
