CCS: New workspace CCSv8 Getting Started error

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

After creating a new "workspace_v8"  on first launch "Getting Started" and launching "Resource Explorer" works OK.  On the second launch I get a blank screen for "Getting Started".  On the third launch of ccsv8 and "Getting Started" I get the following dialog box.

Problem Occurred - 'Getting Started Initializer' has encountered a problem.  An Internal error has occurred.

Details - An internal error has occurred. The Chromium profile directory is already used/locked by another BrowserContext instance or process.

All other ccsv8 operations appear to be OK.

  • Hi Kenneth,
    Did CCS cleanly shut down between each of your launches? Can you try rebooting your machine and see if the issue persists?

    Thanks

  • Thanks for the feedback, I believe I found a solution:

    If I delete the workspace I can get the "Getting Started" screen back.  Re-booting the PC didn't help.  In addition I have both ccsv7 and ccsv8 installed within the /opt/ti folder.  "Getting Started" works for ccsv7 just fine.

    I read somewhere that their can be problems between 2 versions in the same directory.  So, I uninstalled the ccsv7 version and now "Getting Started" and the "Resource Explorer" seem to be working OK.

    The reason for keep ccsv7 is for compatibility with the MSP432P401R Black, ccsv8 doesn't support the debugger.
