8 Trouble

Shooting

8.1 Using Code Composer and Code Composer Studio:

• If there is an error during compilation, it could means that T.I. Compiler/linker

and environment settings are not configured properly. Please refer to T.I.
documentation.

If Code Composer doesn’t open it may be because:

• Code Composer was not setup properly. Check the I/O port address and the

driver used are correct.

• Sundance hardware was not installed properly. Check that the board is

plugged properly and that it is supplied with 3.3V if required (bolt must make
contact with the mounting hole ring).

• Ensure you are using the CCS driver.

9 Known

Issues

9.1 Code Composer Studio

9.1.1 Exit
When exiting CCS, always ensure that the CPU is running free. To do this, click
DebugÆRun Free before closing your CCS session.
Failure to this will result in the DSP being halted, which would cause the DSP to stop
responding to other applications. If you now reset the TIM module, the DSP will not
load the boot loader.
To recover from the condition described above, open CCS again, and select Debug-
>Run Free from the menu.
