CCS/BOOSTXL-BUCKCONV: The GUI doesn't appear when I click main.cfg

Part Number: BOOSTXL-BUCKCONV
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: POWERSUITE,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am a newbie using PowerSuite. I was working through the user guide and all was fine until I double-clicked on main.cfg. The GUI does not appear. The PowerSuite window appears and flashes a couple of times but nothing comes up. I tried using the refresh button, no help. i looked at a few videos based on CCS version 6. They said to make sure you had the CCS GUI composer installed. I am using CCS version 8. I am assuming this is not a problem? Maybe it is. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I install CCS 6 and run the boostxl-buckconv from the older version?

Thanks,

Chuck

    Yes, I did a search and found the thread you have provided before I posted a question . I attempted to use the fix described but no luck. I have read the guidelines and I followed the guidelines. I have read the other links as well.

    The missing/blank GUI for main.cfg is mainly an issue of the missing GCv1 runtime. On my v8 environment, I was able to resolve the issue by explicitly installing the GCv1 runtime from App Center. Sounds like you did this already but I just want to double-check to make sure you did install it.  If you check in App Center, it should say "Up to Date"  for the GCv1 runtime component:

    Note that even with the GCv1 runtime installed, there is an annoying known bug (CCSIDE-3314: powerSUITE GCv1 solution is displayed at half-height when cfg file opened in editor).

    Hello Ki-Soo,

    Thanks for responding. I did not install GUI composer Runtime as you show in your last. I wasn't sure if I should do this as the PowerSuite user guide advises against it . So I found the app in app center and installed it. The GUI works now, but not very well. The graphic interface covers only about 1/4 of the window. I have to use the scroll bar to see the other parts of the interface. See above. I can work with this, no problem. But it would be nice if I could get it to work right.

    I tried closing and deleting the project and restarting, but no help. Are their settings I can use to expand the GUI so it fits the window?

    -Chuck

    I pasted the GUI URL into Chrome and it looks good. I think I will use an earlier version.

    yes, it this known issue in later version of CCS:

    CCSIDE-3314: powerSUITE GCv1 solution is displayed at half-height when cfg file opened in editor

    Unfortunately I don't have a timetable when it will be fixed. GCv1 bugs are lower priority.

    I did just confirm that the above issue does not exist with CCSv6.2 (the GUI is not truncated). That is also an option if you do not want to deal with the truncated GUI.

    Thanks
