I am using an CCS 6.1.1.00022 and an XDS510LC USB emulator to connect to a TMS320F2812.

Is it possible to connect without halting this processor?

If so, do I have the right emulator to do so?

So far, I have tried these things:

- Set the Debug configuration to; No initialization script, Load symbols only, No verification, NOT Reset the target on connect

- Commented-out "GEL_Reset();" under "OnTargetConnect()" in all f2812.gel files on my system.

Have you already had a look at this video? I believe it shows what you are looking for.

Thank you. This video helped.

I learned from the video that I needed to click on the Enable Real Time icon in the top toolbar. With that done, I am now able to connect and CCS says the processor is running. However, an SPI receive interrupt in my application stops running when I connect. I tried setting SPIPRI.bit.FREE = 1 but the interrupt still stops running when I connect.

I'm marking this as answered. I'll ask a new question if I can't figure out the interrupt issue.

Thanks

Glad that you are now able to connect to the running target. As you mentioned, please do start a new post, if needed, for the interrupt issue.
