CCS/MOTORWARE: Lab 5h Couldnt view graphs

Part Number: MOTORWARE
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am working with lab 5h to view the step response of my controllers, however in the lab guide they says

To setup the graph window click
Tools->Graph->(Single time or Dual time)

However, when I click to view it, nothing appears. I cannot view any graph

prior to these statements they say

When compiling the code in the file graph.h the definition

what is meant by compiling the code in graph.h file?

in addition to this statement

If the following error message happens, the graph size is too big for the used C2000 device.
>> Compilation failure
program will not fit into available memory. placement with
alignment/blocking fails for section ".text" size 0x3896 page 0. Available
memory ranges:
RAML0_L8 size: 0xb800 unused: 0x344a max hole: 0x344a
error #10010: errors encountered during linking; "proj_lab05h.out" not built
gmake: *** [proj_lab05h.out] Error 1
gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

Do they mean by compilation = debugging? Since when I debugged the code it ran and the motor starts spinning, so I guess I don't have an error.

My hardware is F28069M and boosterpack DRV8301 with 24V power supply

Hi,

There are two issues reported: a problem in opening the graph tool and a build problem.

For the first one, you need to have the Debugger started, the target device/board connected and code loaded to the target. That is usually accomplished after the code is compiled/built properly.

The second error is a bit more involving, as it seems the project is trying to allocate more bytes than what the device physically has. For that, please check the following references:

Section Error: placement fails for section "xxx" of the Build Errors page at:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/sdto_ccs_build-errors.html

A discussion specific to Motorware and a few possible workaround and troubleshoot issues.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/494012

If, after the code is built properly but you still have problems launching the Graph tool, check sections 9.4.3 and 9.7.3 of the CCS User's Guide at:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/index.html

Hope this helps,

Rafael

hi,

Unfortunately, this didn't help.

The code is running well, there is no debugging problem, but I can not open the Graph tool.

Hi,

Did you try the troubleshooting methods mentioned in the CCS User's Guide? Were they useful?

Hi,

Actually, since I don't know the reason for my problem I couldn't easily search for the solution in the CCS user guide. However after reading the thread you posted It could be memory allocation problem . Here is the memory allocation screen of the lab 5h

Hi,

The memory allocation seems ok to me and I see a very similar thing. If you expand the RAML0_L8, do you see something similar to that as well?

If so, then I really can't tell why the second error message is happening.

Back to the graph tool, did you try the workaround options I sent before?

Regards,

Rafael

Hi,

I am not having a compilation error. I just cannot open the graph tool, and yes I have the same memory allocation as your picture.

Yes, I used to use another workspace or delete it as stated in the workaround options you sent but it didn't help.

Hi,

Your screenshot shows that other tools are not instantiated, such as the RTOS Analyzer, the Trace Analyzer, etc.

This indicates the issue may be that something is not installed properly or became corrupt in your CCS setup.

In this case, I would strongly recommend to do a full uninstall/reinstall and see if you get this functionality back, since these components are an integral part of the debugger. To uninstall, check section 3.4 of the CCS User's Guide at:

Hope this helps,
