CCS/CODECOMPOSER: F28379D support compatible GUI composer version for the application devloped using ccs Version: 7.1.0.00016

f28379d_gui_error.zipHi all,

Tried example timer toggle(timed_led_blink_cpu01) project with gui composer, it is not working ,...

Please find the screenshot, the led status on board is also not blinking, tried with CCS the led status is blinking, look f28379d support is not there in gui composer.

Kindly let me know f28379d support is available.

When I open GUI Composer from dev.ti.com I see F28377D listed as supported

When you say that you tried timed_led_blink_cpu01 with GUI Composer what do you mean?  Did you create a new GUI Composer project and point it to the .out for that program?  Did the LED not blink or were you not able to get a widget in GUI Composer connected to a variable?

If the program is not running can you try the suggestion listed in this thread and see if it makes a difference:

AppData is a hidden folder by default on Windows. You should be able to type it into the address bar in Windows Explorer.  The loaders subfolder will get created when it installs support for the device you are using which will happen the first time you try to connect to the device.

<user folder>\AppData\Local\Texas Instruments\TICloudAgent\loaders\ccs_base\emulation\gel

Hi JohnS,

Here is the list of files available in the path you said, modified the f28379d_cpu1.gel as you said and verified.

Looks like the image is not reflected on the board, means led is not glowing on board as well as on gui, the same image will work with ccs.

Thanks

I would have expected removing the GEL_Reset() to have done the trick.  I will need to loop someone else in to help.

Hi Ashok,

   Just to make sure I'm in sync with you, I've created a project for the F28379D Control Card (see attached) that is  based on the timed_led_blink_cpu01 example, modified so that it is configured to run from Flash and using a global variable to control whether the LED blinks or not ('test_LED_global') and a global variable to indicate whether the LED is on or not ('on').  

I've also posted a GUI Composer project that provides a GUI that interacts with these global variables, with a toggle switch controlling the state of test_LED_global and an LED widget that reflects the state of the 'on' variable.  It's available at https://dev.ti.com/gallery/search/F28379D_CCard 

• To run the demo, just click on the 'tile'.  
• To fork the GUI Composer project so that you can customize it, click on the GUI Composer icon 

There are a couple of things to note in the target code:

• you need to use the keyword volatile in front of the global variable definitions:  e.g. volatile Uint16 test_LED_global = 0;
  • This ensures that the compiler doesn't optimize the code to the point where external changes to the variable are ignored.
• The GPIO pins need to be driven low to turn on the LED so the code writes the value of !on to the pin.
• The project has been configured to run from Flash 
  • right click on the project in CCS
  • select Build Configurations / Set Active / CPU1 Flash
• (the project is based on this project: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/#/Device/F28379D/?link=Software%2FC2000Ware%2FEnglish%2FDevices%2FF28379D%2FExamples%2FBitfield%2FCPU1%2Ftimed_led_blink )

Could you please verify that this works on your setup?  We can then have a common baseline for working through any specific problems you are running into.

Regards,

  Brian

Hi BrianC ,

Thanks for you are reply.

Super you are application/image is working as expected with out gel file modifications.

In my case no difference yet.
I knew that the volatile has to be used for global variable in this case.
Please find the attached zip file for the source code project and screenshots.

Please let me know any comments.

Hi Ashok,

   Could you try changing your project configuration from CPU1_RAM to CPU1_Flash?

• right click on the project in CCS, select Build Configurations / Set Active / CPU1_Flash
• rebuild the project.
  • You may need to adjust your project memory range settings to run from Flash instead of RAM
• in GUI Composer,
  • select Project Properties, click next, select the my_xds node
  • click the garbage can icon to delete the current target program
  • click the Upload... button and browse to your project's CPU1_Flash folder and select the .out file

Regards,

  Brian

Hi Bian,

Tried, as you mentioned but no success. Please find the attached project source code, if you are able to do with the same please let me know.timed_led_blink_cpu01.zip

  Thanks

 Ashok

For future reference, attached is the CCS project referred to earlier, with the actual source files included instead of sym links to the C2000Ware examples directory.
