CCS/SIMPLELINK-CC13X2-26X2-SDK: EnergyTrace still not working with CCS9.3

Hi Jan,

What example project are you using and from what SimpleLink SDK?

Can you try with a new CCS workspace?

After creating a new empty workspace everthing seems to work. Can you tell which configuration files are responsible for the EnergyTrace, and should deleted to make EnergyTrace working with my development Workspace?

Regards

Jan

Try deleting the files in:

[WORKSPACE  FOLDER]\.metadata\.plugins\com.ti.dvt.energytrace\

Thanks

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't work.

After creating a new workspace EnergyTrace starts. After one time applying the EnergyTrace preferences it does not start any longer.

I think this is a major issue.

I having playing around with the stand-alone EnergyTrace feature in CCSv9.3.0 with my CC1312 LaunchPad. So far it was been working without issue. I set the one time preferences, apply the changes and it works. Subsequent sessions continue to work fine. 

It must be some issue specific to your environment. Please provide your Eclipse logs and what exact host OS version you are using.

Thanks

Also, both the standalone and CCS debug-mode ET fails (the XDS110 error messages occur)?

I have different problems with EnergyTrace. standalone and debug-mode:

standalone EnergyTrace

- Create new Wokspace c:\CCS-ET-Test
-> Stand-alone ET start

- Changed preference for ET :
  Window->Preferences->Code Composer Tools->Advanced Tools->EnergyTrace
  change Cell Type to Custom, 3.0V, 220mAh
  'Apply and Close'
-> Stand-alone ET does not start : 
  Show Progress Window : Detecting Energy Trace Pod, Progress Window closes and nothing more happens.

- Open preferences window again and close it with 'Cancel'
-> Stand-alone ET starts again

- Open preferences window again and close it 'Apply and Close'
-> Stand-alone ET does not start : 
  Show Progress Window : Detecting Energy Trace Pod, Progress Window closes and nothing more happens.

Opening the preferences from within the ET-window and closing with 'Apply and Close' has the same effect.

Host-OS : Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, Version 1803, OS-build:17134.1246

CCS Version: 9.3.0.00012 

debug-mode EnergyTrace

Some error messages :

Different errors running ET in debug mode :

• Start debug-mode -> Open ET -> Start application -> ET++ collect data for 10 s, but the red-button still lit -> Click red button to stop ET -> Freeze
• Start debug-mode -> Open ET -> Start application -> ET++ start to collect data -> XDS110-ErrorMessage: Cortex_M4_0: Error: (Error -261 @ 0x0) Invalid response was received from the XDS110. (Emulation package 9.1.0.00001) -> ET++ stop to collect data and debugger stops at unkonown location
• Start debug-mode -> Open ET -> Start application -> ET++ start to collect data but time counter does not run regulat and many error-messages IcePick_C & CS-DAP (see above) -> After some time ET stop to collect data -> After switching window to append to this message CCS is frozen.

Host-OS and CCS-version same as above.

Summary :

On my system EnergyTrace does not work reliable. In special the debug-mode EnergyTrace is nearly unusable because i have to abort and restart CCS after most runs.

Jan,

Sorry to hear of your struggles with EnergyTrace. I am unable to reproduce this myself, hence I have escalated the issue to the EnergyTrace experts. I will be sure to update this thread as I get any updates to share.

One more question - what exact device are you working with? And what kind of board (LaunchPad)?

Thanks
