Tool/software:

I'm trying to use Energy Trace on one of my projects and I can't figure out how to enable it. No matter what I do it is always disabled. For reference, I'm running my code on a LP-EM-CC2340R5 using a LP-XDS110ET debugger connected to my Windows 10 PC via a USB cable. I'm using the latest version to CCS Theia (v1.5.1.3). Here's my list of extensions and their version number too:

What am I missing? I can build, flash, and debug without issue, but my Run->Trace->Enable Energy Trace is always greyed out. If I click on the Trace view everything is greyed out and there's a message stating the following - "You have not yet opened a trace".

Hi Rob,

I am observing similar results from my setup, however not if using a SimpleLink F2 SDK CC13XX / CC26XX product. The CCS Theia User's Guide indicates that the SimpleLink F3 SDK's CC23XX product line is not yet supported with this IDE. I will loop in a CCS expert to confirm and provide plausible timelines.

Regards,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your prompt response. I tried using CCS (v20.0.0) too and experienced identical behavior. I've seen posts where user's are able to use energy trace in their setups so this is very confusing to me.
