Was attempting to use the Hardware Trace Analyzer for the first time in CCS 6.1.0.00104 under Linux (CentOS 6.5 64-bit) using a AM3352 connected with an XDS100v2.
The test sequence is:
a) Create a AM3352"hello world" program for the Cortex A8 core, which has the program in L3 OCMC SRAM.
b) Start a debugging session, and when at main select Tools -> Hardware Trace Analyzer -> Function Profiling. On the Hardware Trace Analysis Configuration press the "Start" button with the defaults selected (which uses ETB as the transport type).
c) With the Hardware Trace Analyzer active when attempt to step over the printf call then CCS 6.1 under Linux hangs such that the GUI is no longer responsive and has to be killed. The same hang has been seen with CCS 6.1.0.00104 under CentOS 6.5 64-bit on two machines.
Using the same test with the same target and emulator with CCS 6.1.0.00104 under Windows 7 64 bit works successfully, in that CCS doesn't hang and the Hardware Trace Analyzer returns sensible results. Therefore, there appears to be a problem with the Hardware Trace Analyzer with CCS 6.1 under Linux.
