CCS/TMS570LC4357: After program load buttons 'play', 'pause', etc. are grayed out, only the stop button is active, no debugging is possible

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, TMDX570LC43HDK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi @ all,

since yesterday I am expericiening strange problems during my programming work:

While I was developing a TMS570 application, suddenly the initiation of the debug sessions fails.

Compiling, linking, target erasing and even loading seem to work fine. I configured my project to 'run to main' - which worked fine up to yesterday.

Now the application seems to start but the buttons 'play', 'pause', etc. are grayed out and now stop at main is realised.

After crawling through the forum and google, I tried various approaches but unfortunately nothing seems to help:

1) Erased entries under Debug Configuration -> Device Debugging

2) Removed .launches folder in workspace

3) Cleared .metadata and reimported the project

4) Created a small sample program with HALCOGEN -> same problem

5) Now, I activated the 'Debug Server Log' (pls. find the attached file), 'Debug Server Dump Files' folder is empty

Additionally some information about my development setup:

- Windows 7.0 (due to company's restrictions)

- CCS 7.1.0.00016

- HALCOGEN 04.06.00

- Target Board: TMDX570LC43HDK with on-board debugger

    Hi Rene,

    René K. said:

    The most common cause of this is because the Debug view is closed. If that is the case, please reopen it. If the Debug view is indeed open, then please provide a screenshot of your CCS environment. This will help us with the analysis.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your quick response and your hints.

    Unfortunately the Debug view is open (see attached screen shot)

    The problem seems to be the HW. This morning I tried another TMDX570LC43HDK and it worked perfectly well.

    In the screenshot above, you can see that the debug session was terminated (note the "<terminated>" tag in front of the highlighted node in the Debug view). Since the debugger has been terminated, you cannot do any debug actions.

    Hi,

    I realized that too - but it is only the case with seemingly 'defective' HW.
    I would suggest to try another HW in case the debug view is open and one is experiencing problems with launching debug session - as mentioned above
