Problem with Debug in CW for DSC56800/E v.8.0

Andik — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 13:04:14 GMT

Hello,
I'm using a free version of CW for DSC56800/E v.8.0, and I would like to solve my problem which occurs when I try to "Debug" any of CodeWarrior_Examples. I allways get a message:

"CSSProtocolPlugin: CSS: Command Converter not present."

I had some problems with CW for HC12 in the past, and it disapeared after instalation of new license file (obtained from Metrowerks). Is this the same case?

Any suggestion?

SW: CW for DSC56800/E v.8.0
Target: MC56F8013

It seems to me that the ccs.exe is not running on your machine. Typically, the installer sets it up so it is launched automatically. You should check if you have a ccc.exe task running on your machine (e.g. consult your windows task mananger).
You can launch it by hand too, it is lockated inside your installation of Hawk 8.0, probably for you at this location:
C:\Program Files\Freescale\Hawk 8.0\ccs\bin\ccs.exe

Launch the .exe and check if the problem goes away.

Additional considerations:
If you have any special firewall software (e.g. ZoneAlarm) installed, you may check the settings, as the debugger and the ccs.exe are communicating through TCP/IP (local on your machine).

Hope this helps,
Erich

Hello Erich,
thank you for quick answer, it looks like "yes, that should be the reason of my troubles" but I tried both and the problem remains.

I have the ccs.exe started. Also my ZoneAlarm is configured to trust the CodeWarrior Connection Server (ccs.exe). For certainty, I shut down the Firewall, CCS, restarted the CCS and CW, but still the same problem.

Here is the CCS log.

Now I'm wondering, if it is possible to run the example code in simulation-like mode (without hardware connected). I just want to try, how the DSC56 core works to get a practice with ASM. The project target is set to "smm internal memory with pROM-to-xRAM copy"

Hello Andik,
yes, you can use the simulator. The easiest way is if you simply create a working base and go from there. You can do this with File > New, DSP56800x New Project Wizard > Simulators and go through the rest of the steps. You will see that this sets up a connection to the simulator (ALT-F7, or project preferences -> Debugger > Remote Debugging).

The setup and capabilities of the simulator vs hardware are a little bit different, but above sample should give you a good starting point.

As for your original problem (still existing): you may check the CCS console output. And check (of course) if your run control/connection to the hardware is working fine?
