CCS/UNIFLASH: Troubles with Uniflash 4.3.0/4.3.1

Part Number: UNIFLASH
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC31XXEMUBOOST, CC3120BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I've just downloaded and installed Uniflash to set up CC3120Boost+CC31XXEMUBOOST, but get system error with unicode "0xc8" byte.

The full versions are "uniflash_sl.4.3.0.1802" and "uniflash_sl.4.3.1.1835" from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:CCS_UniFlash .
The problems look the same, except device name in different versions.

Sorry, that I can't provide logs as described here (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UniFlash_v4_Quick_Guide ), because interface doesn't allow me to do this.
(And actually there is no "Debug Server Logging", only "GUI Logging ").

The steps (for 4.3.1):
1. Enter "cc31", choose "CC31XX / CC32XX"
2. Click "Start Image Creator"
3. "New Project"
4. Project Name "qwe"; Project Description "qwe"; Device Type: "CC3120R"; Device Mode "Develop";
5. Click "Create Project"

Got: "Error (111) Saving Project: Unhandled exception: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)"

After that I can work with project (connect / show files and device information), but this error appears on several actions, and project can't be saved.

I couldn't get logs, because when I was backed to start screen I got reset logs in settings menu.

Also I have a lot of troubles about getting in several modal windows without "Back" button (so I can't close it, only restart uniflash).

Maybe I download wrong developer version? Or I should search older Uniflash, that will be more stable? Or I got corrupted version?

(please discard my previous reply; I completely confused the versions)

Hi,

Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this issue with Uniflash 4.3.1.1835 on my Windows 10 build 1709.

>> Got: "Error (111) Saving Project: Unhandled exception: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)"

All the errors described by you seem to indicate there is a problem with your installation of Uniflash or with temporary files. Can you go to the path below and either move or delete it?

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Uniflash

Also, the interface is somewhat different than what I see it here - there are no modal windows, but instead they are inserted into the same window:

If removing the temporary files does not help, I would completely remove the Uniflash install directory (Shift+Delete tends to work well) the temporary directory above and reinstall the software.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Thanks for replying!

Yes, your guess is right. I have default username "Илья", and "И" is 0xC8. Renaming "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Uniflash" to "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\___Uniflash" doesn't help. But re-login to the account with ascii username has solved the issue.

I'm starting to migrate work files on separate disk ("L:\TI" instead of "C:\TI"), so It good moment to create work account, and the default account is left only for administrative purpose.

Other problems, I think, may be caused this issue, but if I observed this later, I'll text here.

Thanks!!
