CCS/CCSTUDIO-KEYSTONE: Setting AllowInterruptsWhenHalted doesn't work anymore in CCS / scripting console

Rex,

Could you attach the .ccxml file you are using?

Whether this option is available seems to depend on a property in the target-database driver XML file being used. The property is called "realtimeEnabled". The SD driver files I looked at all had this property set to true (see C:\ti\ccsv7\ccs_base\common\targetdb\drivers\sdg*).  I tested setting the property from the scripting console in CCS and did not see the same issue.  The CCXML file would allow me to look at the specific driver file being pulled in.

Hi Andy,

ccxml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configurations XML_version="1.2" id="configurations_0">
<configuration XML_version="1.2" id="Spectrum Digital XDSPRO LAN Emulator_0">

            <platform XML_version="1.2" id="platform_0">
                <instance XML_version="1.2" desc="TCI6616_0" href="devices/TCI6616.xml" id="TCI6616_0" xml="TCI6616.xml" xmlpath="devices"/>
            </platform>
        </connection>
    </configuration>
</configurations>

Thanks! This seems to be a CCS bug. Strangely, the option works for C2000 through Java and for all targets when set through the scripting console. It does not work for KS2 when set through Java.  

A possible workaround is to enable this option for all targets by editing the debug properties XML file. Let us know if you want to do that. It would be a manual edit to a file inside the CCS installation folder.

A bug has been filed as: CCBT-2210

Hi Andy,

1. Thanks for checking this. I can test modified properties XML file. Please share what to modify.

2. How can I track this bug report (CCBT-2210)? Is there public link available?

Regards, Lukasz

The workaround would be to open the PropertiesDB.xml file in <installDir>\ccs_base\DebugServer\propertyDB\, and then search for the "Allow Interrupts When Halted" property using this string:

<property id="AllowInterruptsWhenHalted">

Remove the "enableIf" section for the property:

<enableIf>
	<realtimeEnabled>true</realtimeEnabled>
	<supportsAdvancedRealtime>true</supportsAdvancedRealtime>
</enableIf>

This will make it so that the property is enabled for all targets.

The bug status can be checked through the bug tracking portal.

Hi Andy,

Workaround doesn't seem to work:
