CCS/CODECOMPOSER: How to create a new MSP432 with sysconfig enabled

Peter,

When I add a *.syscfg file , CCS asks me if I want to use the SysConfig Tool. When I say yes, the tool crashes:

Which CCS version and OS are you using? I did not experience a crash when I did this with CCS 8.3 on Windows 10.

As an alternative, you could also use the "empty" project as a starting point.

Hi AartiG

I am using CCS 8.2.0 on Linux Mint / Ubuntu 18.
In fact, I started from an "empty" project ( created with CCS "New CCS Project" wizard).
I mean "empty" in the sense, that it is what I get once the wizard has finished.

Thanks
Peter

Peter,

Thanks for the details. I will try to reproduce it on Linux.

For "empty" project, I was actually referring to the empty example in the SDK rather than creating a new project using "New CCS Project" wizard.

Hi AartiG

The empty project from the SDK works fine. Maybe the CCS wizard needs an update for SysConf ?

Many thanks
Peter

Hi Peter, if possible could you install CCS 8.3 and let us know if that crashes in a similar manner as well? You can install 8.3 to a different directory to keep your current installation unaffected.

Hi AartiG

I just installed 8.3.0 and nothing else, created a new project with "New CCS Project" and added a conf.syscfg file. CCS asked me if I wanted

to add the SystemConfigTool and the screenshot shows what happened next.

This is on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya

Peter,

I still have not been able to reproduce this. I tried on two Ubuntu systems, 14.04 and 18.04.1 and did not see a crash.

You mention adding a conf.syscfg file. How did you create that file, and how do you add it to the project (drag and drop, copy/paste)? I'm just wondering if I'm missing some detail that triggers the crash, but I believe I tried all those scenarios.

Does it also crash if you copy/paste the .syscfg file from one of the example projects in the SDK (like the empty example under TI Drivers) into the project you created using the "New CCS Project" wizard? If so, I wonder if it might be specific to the Linux Mint OS.

Hi AartiG

In fact, the crash I have shown is when I create a new file from scratch ( with the Eclipse  "New File"  menu).

When I copy an existing sys.cfg from another project (here from gpiointerrupt_MSP_EXP432P4111_tirtos_ccs_syscfg) , I get another crash:

1) I open the newly copied (with Copy / Paste inside Eclpise/CCS) and I get this:

This is weird, because the device is not set to MSP432P4111 any more ( but to CC1310)

I then select MSP432P4111 under device and say Start, I get another, slightly different type of crash screen:

This seem to be related to an Ajax request, so I tried all possible combinations of internal and external webbrowser settings (System, Firefox, Chrome) but the result is always the same

Thanks

Peter
