CCS/TMS320F2809: ROV tool is not working on CCS 8.2

Part Number: TMS320F2809

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The ROV tool is not working for me. I've tried the next:

1. Tools -> ROV Classic

I get: 

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
com.ti.dvt.symbolmanager.ISymbolPackage.getSectionAddress(I)J

2. Tools -> Runtime Object View.

I get "Connect target" window, I leave the default values (<Use the program currently being debugged>, Debugger) and click on CONNECT.

I get the next error:
 Error: Failed to start ROV using 'comm=DSLite:0,wsPort=60518':: Can't extract RTSC configuration package path from 'F:/ccviews/skandel_UPD_V4_00/Lumenis_PVOB/CommonSubsystemVol1/Scanner_DSP2809_AcuPulse/bin/EmbDebug/ScannerEmbedded.out'.

What am I doing wrong?

The ROV works fine for me on CCS 6.2

  • Sara,

    ROV Classic is not working in CCSv8.2. There are a couple options to fix this. The first option is to run the update tool in CCS and it will find a bunch of DVT related updates. Please install those.

    The other option is to install CCSv8.3 which was released recently. ROV Classic is working in this version.

    Regards,
    John
  • Thanks. I updated to v8.3 and indeed the ROV classic works now.However, the Runtime Object View is still failing to connect with:
    "Error: Failed to start ROV using 'comm=DSLite:0,wsPort=55012':: Can't extract RTSC configuration package path from <...>'*out'."

  • The newer non-classic tool requires that the program be ELF format. As you are using F2809 you will need to use the ROV Classic tool.
