CCS/TMS320F28022: Log file(s) for loading program to target

Cool Javelin
Expert 1680 points
Part Number: TMS320F28022

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Win7 SP1 (32bit). CCS 6.1.3. F28022.

Hi CCSrs:

Is there a log file that details what CCS is doing when I change into debug? If so, where is it (are they)?

I have begun to suspect an issue related to erasing the target FLASH, loading the FLASH, and loading the RAM.

Normally, when I click the little spider, a series of windows pops up mentioning stuff about "loading program", "erasing FLASH sector A, B, C..." then "Loading an address range" etc.

The info goes by pretty fast, and I would like to verify these steps in detail.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks, Mark.

    Hi Mark,

    You could enable debug server logging. But this log is very heavy and a lot of the messages may be cryptic for anyone outside the CCS debugger engineering team. There is also quite a bit noise to sort through. You can always send us the log for analysis.

    If you actually automate the steps via DSS script, you can enable a verbose DSS log. But that would require you to use DSS

    Thanks

    Under the project properties -> Debug -> F28022 Flash Settings at the bottom there is a "Enable Verbose Output" option:

    If that option is ticked, I think the CCS console will show the flash erase/program operations as they are performed on the sectors.

    Ki:
    I did try to enable the "debug server logging, and you are right, it was over 500K lines. Very heavy indeed.

    I have looked into using the DSS before, and I do want to get into it as we will be making production runs of our product, I just haven't made the mind set yet to learn that.

    Chester:
    I did the "Enable Verbose Output" as you suggested, and got results I expected, (sort of). One interesting thing is the order of the flash sectors written isn't as expected. Not sure yet if that is an issue, but I doubt it.

    I got a little more info from MatthewPate on a different post of mine, he suggested using the hex2000 util to see the .out file.

    I am also using the abs2000 util but haven't gotten it to work properly yet.

    Thanks to both of you.
    Mark.
