Real-time debugging problem with TI2812 eZdsp and CodeComposer v2.2

Hi,

I have an older version of Code Composer (version 2.2) and I'm using it to do some R&D development on a TI F2812 eZdsp eval board. I am also using Spectrum Digital's XDS510 USB emulator probe. I'm having trouble running GEL files and adding WatchWindows when running the application on the target. The host PC is running Windows XP Professional service pack 2. When I try to run a GEL file (specifically the ones that come with the Code Composer application) the IDE hangs up for a couple of minutes and then comes alive. When I try to add a variable to a Watch WIndow, Code COmposer crashes. I verified that I am using the XDS510USB SD configuration file.

I do not have this problem when I am running the same tools on a laptop running Windows XP Home.

Could this be a problem with Code COmposer v2.2 not working with the newer versions of Windows XP? I called TI but they said that they no longer support Code COmposer v2.2. The reason I'm sticking with it is because it works for me and I don't want to spend money to upgrade for an R&D project. Or is this a problem with my not using the correct drivers for this probe? I thought the installation on the PC and the laptop are the same but I could be wrong. I compared the SD config files and they seem to be identical.

Thanks,

Ganga

    CCS 2.2 is a pretty old version and not officially supported any longer, However, since you say it works without problems on one PC but not another, you may want to compare the exact version of CCS on the 2 machines, by going to Help->About. Maybe one has a patch update to 2.2x which resolved those issues. Comparing the driver versions on the 2 machines is also a good idea although the problems described seem related more to CCS than the driver.

    Out of curiosity, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling CCS on the PC where you see the problems?

    Aarti,

    Thanks for the response. The versions of CCS running on the pc and the laptop are identical: installed from the same set of disks. Note: Installed it on the laptop only to verify if the issue is related to the OS, because the CCS v2.2 was earlier running on my pc on Windows 2000 before our company upgraded the OS to XP Pro.

    I also got CCS v3.1 as part of the 1 year subscription and I'm going to have IT install that on the pc to see if that works with Windows XP Pro. Also downloaded the Spectrum Digital emulator driver for CCS v3.1.

    Hi,

    Solved the issue by having CCS 3.1 installed on the Windows XP Pro host PC. Apparently, needed Admin privileges to install it right. GEL files and Watchwindow work fine now. Must be something to do with CCS v2.2 not working with Windows XP Pro, or maybe it needed to be installed using Admin privileges too. Would have liked to know the real cause, but I can't be bugging IT about it.
