CCSv4 @ Program Loading

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Dear All,

 

Could you please advise whether in CCSv4 the only way to download the program is to launch the debugger /Debug Active Porject/ or not.

Starting the “Debug Active Project” Connects to target, Loads program and Runs to main, but it takes some time. I’d just like to load program without starting the debugger, but I do not see this option in CCSv4.

 

Many thanks in advance!

  • Hi Tibor,

    The Debugger must be launched because you can only access the target from the debug perspective. Alternatively to "Debug active Project" you can manually connect to the target (in the menu "Target -> Connect Target") and then load the program into the the MCU by clicking in Menu "Target -> Load Program..." but I think this takes even more time than the Standard path you mentioned....

    But I do agree with you that this is one of the few drawbacks of CCS4 compared to CCS3.

    Regards,

    Andreas

     

  • Depending on your specific use case, you may also find loading from the command line to be useful. Have a look at the loadti DSS example in the scripting folder for more info.
