C6416's TCP/VCP registers are not shown with SD XDS510USB

Hi,

Unfortunately the C6416 VCP/TCP register views were never implemented in any versions of CCS.

Sorry,

Rafael

Thanks for response but that seems to be not true. I've just tried older box with XDS560 in it. On that box CCS 3.1 does show TCP/VCP registers. So I guess its about emulator capabilities or some settings.

My situation is that I have new PC with Win7 x64 on it. CCS 3.1 is not supported there, but I managed to run it using XP Mode. And I only can pass USB emulator to virtual machine. So I used SD's XDS510USB. But that one does not show registers of interest.

Yes, I know TI recommends CCS 4 for Win7, but even 3.3 is too big jump for me, I have to comply with my colleagues...

Upd: Tried 3.3 with XDS510USB. There is VCP/TCP registers option in View/Registers menu, but it does not work. Moreover, attempt to view any other register causes exception window to pop-up. Yes, I know that 3.3 is not officially supported on Win7.

Yes that information can vary per emulator (if SD decided to support this in their drivers)

What exceptions/errors are you seeing (what is the exact message)?

Thanks

Hi again,

I would very appreciate any suggestion how combat this issue. CCS version is 3.3.82.13. Here is what I am doing. When IDE started I select menu item View/Registers/Core. Then exception window pops up:

The text in details is:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

Thanks in advance.

hmm... you are getting a .NET error. Some plug-ins in CCS 3.3 are a .NET plug-in and uses the .NET framework. CCS will install it by default but sometimes the installation if it fails.

Could you try opening the Memory window and Breakpoint Manager and see if you can open them successfully? Those plug-ins also are .NET plug-ins and I'm curious if you will have issues with those too.

I've tried every item in View menu, like Memory view, Watch, they work just fine. Breakpoint manager also operational. Only View/Registers causes the problem.

Thanks for keeping us posted. It could be that the prior install didn't install the .NET plugins correctly. Anyway, glad to hear you are up and running now.
