Trace for C5505 in CCSv4

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5505

Up until now I've been using CCS v3.3.81.11 on WinXP Pro SP3 with target TMS320C5505 EVM (Assy 510880 Rev E). Recently I've switched to CCS v4.1.0.02002 and have a question regarding  a functionality found in CCSv3, which I  haven't been able to work in CCSv4.

 

In CCSv3 there is Tools->"C55 Trace FIFO", and when looking for the same functionality in CCSv4, the closest I've found is Tools->Trace Control. However, when I select this menu entry, CCS tells me:

"Error: An error occurred connecting to Channel Server. Make sure this target supports tracing and it's connected. Native error message: "Channel server creation failed."

The target DO support tracing (as I said, I did it using CCv3 on the same 5505EVM board), and yes, it's connected. I can use normal debug functions just fine. The target is configured as:

Connection: "Spectrum Digital DSK-EVM-eZdsp onboard USB Emulator"

Board or device: "EVM5505"
