Hi All,
I would like to ask about a problem in CCS 4.
This problem happens intermittently. After clicking "debug" button on the toolbar, a windows will appear detailing the task currently being performed (connecting to device, etc.). Sometimes the window got stopped there with the green progress bar indicator repeatedly moving from left to right without proceed to the next stage. It will continue to be in this state if there is no user intervention.
Then I clicked "cancel" at the bottom of this window and this action also generate no response. The "cancel" button will become dark while the window displays
- At the upper half of window: "Launching Debug Session".
- At the lower half: "No operations to display at this time".
It will continue to be in this state like forever. I have waited once for an hour and nothing changed.
What makes matter worse is that the program cannot be terminated from Windows task manager. There are two programs associated with CCS 4
- eclipse.exe
- javaw.exe
While eclipse.exe can be instantly terminated by "End Process", javaw.exe cannot and will persist there (It's not easy to reproduce the problem since I don't know its cause and my impression on which of these two files cannot be terminated might be incorrect). Although killing eclipse.exe would cause the CCS window to disappear, when I am trying to start it again by clicking its desktop shortcut, the welcome window will tell me
"Workspace in use and cannot be created, choose a different one"
Even after turning off the system (power off) and restart the problem still persists. It will still gives the same "Workspace in use and cannot be created, choose a different one" message and will abort after clicking "OK".
The only way to get CCS started I have found so far is to delete CCS's workspace folder. Although I could do some backup, this is nevertheless very inconvenient and could cause some setting lost.
Why do these (1. stop when launching debug; 2. cannot restart) happen? Is there a solution to them?
The version of my CCS is 4.1.2.00027
I would also like to report my hardware condition here if this is a factor to be considered: The connection between XDS560 emulator and the EVM is loose and sometimes I have to re-plug it in order to load object file into EVM. At most times, however, it works fine.
Sincerely,
Zheng
