Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
So, I know I'm not the first one to post about this... when I try to run Resource Explorer in CCS 9.3 or 10.1, I just get a blank tab. And before you ask, yes, I did have a look at the troubleshooting guide, we'll get to that.
Background... I've used previous versions of Code Composer including v8. I tried installing CCS 10.1 to do Sitara development before finding out that CCS 9.3 is the recommended version for Sitara TI-RTOS SDK 6.3. But I did try launching Resource Explorer there, and after clicking a dialog regarding cookies, I got a blank tab.
Then I installed CCS 9.3, which actually recognized all the SDK elements that had been installed. I then tried running Resource Explorer. And I get this screen:
Having clicked "Agree and Proceed" the first time around, I try "Manage Preferences" this time, and I get this screen:
OK, fine, so I check all the boxes and click "Save and Close". And I get this:
Blank tab. Hmm, OK. So I look at the troubleshooting guide. The suggestions are:
So, in order:
1) My internet connection is just fine.
2) We have no proxy here.
3) I deleted three "tirex-localserver-[version]" folders (3.6.5, 3.7.0, and a recently created 3.7.1) from my user directory, but that had no effect.
4) If I clear the CCS browser cache by deleting the .jxbrowser-data folder, I get the cookies prompt again, and the blank screen after that.
5) I closed the "Resource Explorer" and "Getting Started" tabs, so I just had a blank IDE. Task Manager shows me this:
I then select "View / Resource Explorer" from the main menu, and I get a blank tab. Task Manager now shows this:
I'm honestly not sure what else I should try. For what it's worth, Resource Explorer works just fine in CCS 8.3:
So... what gives?

HI David,
Does the Getting Started view work fine? Can you also take a look at the App Center view?
Thanks

Thanks. It must be specific to Resource Explorer and not an issue with jxbrowser.
Can you provide the log file in:
C:\Users\<username>\ti\tirex-localserver-3.7.1\.logs
Here you go; this was the only file in the log. (It's C:\Users\drodgers\ti\tirex-localserver-3.7.0\.logs BTW, not 3.7.1, since this is CCS 9.3.)
Can you also send the logs from:
C:\Users\<user>\<workspace>\.metadata\.log
I should have asked earlier. Sorry.
Thanks David,
The exception you see in the log are unrelated to the Resource Explorer issue. Unfortunately, the logs didn't show anything interesting regarding your error.
Can you try using a clean new workspace folder? If that fails to help, please do the following steps:
1. add this line in <CCS INSTALL DIR>\ccs\eclipse\ccstudio.ini (put some value for port num like 5678)
-Djxbrowser-remote-debugging-port=<port num>
2. Restart CCS
3. Open Resource Explorer
4. In chrome browser go to chrome://inspect
5. click configure and add “localhost:<port num>”
6. you should see Resource Explorer (tirex) show up in chrome://inspect
7. click inspect
8. open the console.
Report any errors in the console

[sigh] This is the damnedest thing... I fired up my existing CCS 9.3 workspace ("sitara_testing"), which had the Getting Started tab open. Just for giggles, I click the "Resource Explorer" button... and the damn thing actually starts. I then make a new workspace ("wibble"), get the Getting Started tab again, and this time I click View / Resource Explorer... and that works too. I honestly don't know what's changed to make this happen... we have a pretty ordinary IT environment here, and I haven't messed with CCS 9.3 since I originally posted the issue. Thank you for walking me through this debug process, and if it starts misbehaving again, I'll let you know.
David R.
Glad to hear it is working now. If it does start flaking out on you again, please provide any errors you see in the console.
Thanks
