CCS: PC-Trace - Trace view not connected

Hi,

I am not sure if Trace worked well in the version of CCS you are using (it's been a while since I used this particular version), but you can try a few things before trying to update your copy of CCS:

- When opening the Trace configuration, click on the small red curved arrow to reset its settings and clear any possible previous conflicting settings;
- If that does not work, you can close CCS and try erase all Trace temporary files. For the location of these files, check row 3 of table shown at the reference below:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Troubleshooting_CCSv6

If these two items do not work, you may need to update both the components named "TI Emulators" and "Auto Device Support" of your CCS. Check section 2.1 of the reference below for details:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Updating_CCSv6

Also, if you are not aware there is an interesting document that shows several aspects of Trace that may help you further:
www.ti.com/.../sprac17b.pdf

I will try to validate this setup in CCSv8.0 here and report back.

Hope this helps,
Rafael
