Configuration for XDS communication.
- This target communication option relies on a debug probes functionality and device (processor) capabilities to provide non-intrusive memory access. It is supported on most Cortex based devices and C2000. For MSP430 devices you would need to use USB-UART : Monitor option to get similar behaviour.
- In Target Programming page you must Add a device and program file that will be used for communication. The program file should be generated with symbols. This is the output of building your CCS Project in CCS Desktop or CCS Cloud. At this point program file must be uploaded from your local machine, thus if you have used Cloud IDE to generate your program
then you must first download binary file to your local PC and then upload it to GUI Composer. Clicking on FLASH button allows you to program your device with uploaded binary file.
- In Target Communication page you need to add Program Model that will be used to resolve symbols specified in Target Programming page. Program file and device specified in Target Prorgramming will be used.
- You may then click on Connect button and click on "Console" tab to see whether GUI Composer can successfully connect to your device. You should see a message in console that states Hardware Connected.
Custom Target Configuration (.ccxml) Files
- In order to work with custom hardware or do advanced target configurations such as bypassing a device, you can optionally provide your own custom .ccxml file for your GUI Composer Project to use.
- CCStudio Desktop is the recommended way to create or modify your .ccxml file
- To configure your GUI Composer project to use the custom .ccxml file:
- rename the file to target_config.ccxml
- select Project / Properties from the GUI Composer Designer menu,
- Click Next to go to the Target Communication Settings page
- in the Target Program / Symbols section of your project's Target Communication Settings page, click the UPLOAD button and select the target_config.ccxml file.
- using the Executable: droplist, ensure that the executable for your project (if any) is selected
- To remove a custom .ccxml file from your GUI Composer project:
- select Project / Properties from the GUI Composer Designer menu,
- Click Next to go to the Target Communication Settings page
- in the Target Program / Symbols section of your project's Target Communication Settings page, use the Executable: droplist to select the target_config.ccxml file and click the trash can icon to the right of the droplist.
- using the Executable: droplist, ensure that the executable for your project (if any) is selected
