LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: CCS Version 12 Repeatable Crash when Running SimpleLink Examples

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1


When following the TI BLE5-Stack Quick Start guide running the project_zero_CC26XR1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang example in CCS Version 12.0.0.00009 I experience a crash after building the application and running debug. This crash occurs after following all steps up to step 3, Load the Application project. The console says build finished after step 2, but when I click on debug CCS tries running and crashes. This happens with the board both plugged in and unplugged, and across multiple workspaces. It does not happen in CCS version 11.

  • Jack,

    This is happening due to an issue in the debug symbols.  There will be a compiler release shortly that fixes this.  For now the issue can be worked around by changing the symbol loader in CCS.

    Open the expressions view

    Enter symbol_loader=1

    Now when you launch a debug session it will use a different symbol loader.  That one does not interpret as much of the info produced by Clang or GCC so there will be some missing symbolic debug information.

    Regards,
