Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FLASH-PROGRAMMER

I have just installed CCS 4.1.3 on the same machine with CCS3.3, there are two big issues encounterred

1. There is no flash-programmer in CCS 4.1 (flash programmer in  CCS 3.3 works fine)

2. Blackhawk USB2000 controller does not work on eZdsp_F28335 board (95% time unable to finish connection process, the other 5% connected, but fail to watch variables).

USB port come with eZdsp works fine

 

Thanks for your time

    In CCSv4, the Flash programmer is integrated with the load program function, so unlike CCS3 a separate plugin does not need to be opened for flash programming. Code will automatically be downloaded to Flash when you debug a project that is linked to Flash. Please take a look at the Programming F28xxx Flash section in this Quick Tips page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Quick_Tips

    Could you make sure you updated your Blackhawk driver to the latest version? They recently posted an update due to some issues that were discovered. You can locate/install the update using the eclipse update manager by going to CCS menu Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install. The choose the Blackhawk Emulation update and install.

    something not right.

    in my "Debug Properties" - Target, I don't have "flash programmer" entry. In one of video on TI Wiki, it shew "flash programmer" and its settings (timing , etc)

    I did upgrade and fresh installation, I could connect to the target immediately after installation. when I switched to another project, I can no longer connection to the target, even though I did not make any "Target Configuration" changes. The entire CCS hangs and I have to kill it from OS (task manager)

    After you launch your debug session (either by clicking "Debug Active Project" or by right-clicking on the target configuration file and selecting "Launch Selected Configuration"), go to Tools->On-chip Flash in the Debug perspective to see the Flash Programmer settings.

    When you created the new project, did you add the same target configuration file that worked before to the new project? If not, it will be picking up a 'Default" target configuration. Could you open the Target Configurations view by going to View->Target Configurations->User Defined and check that the one set to Default is the correct one for your target/emulator? If it is confirmed that the correct target configuration is being used, is this issue with CCS hanging repeatable even after power cycling the board, disconnecting/reconnecting emulator etc.?
