How to solve the strange phenomenon of CCS [Copy link]

1. Summary
Code Composer Studio (CCSv5, CCSv6, CCSv7) based on the Eclipse open source framework sometimes displays abnormalities during use, such as missing menus or frequent crashes. These abnormalities also make developers very frustrated, which may waste time and affect the development progress.
ControlSuite is a data package for C2000, also based on Eclipse. Sometimes customers will find that there is only one File option after opening ControlSuite.

The following will identify the culprits that cause these problems and the corresponding solutions.
2. The culprit
These problems are all caused by the .metadata file. The purpose of this file is as follows. The .metadata file is used to store the configuration of the workspace. If the same workspace is used for a long time, the content in the .metadata file will collapse, which will lead to unstable or strange CCS.
Some people also say that this file also reflects the robustness of Eclipse. If there is a problem with the IDE, just deal with this file.

3. Solution
If CCS has strange behavior, create a new workspace or find the old workspace and clear the .metadata file.
If ControlSuite does not display content, find the address C:\ti\controlSUITE\eclipse\workspace under the installation path of ControlSuite and clear the .metadata folder.
Note:
When closing controlSUITE, click the X button to exit. If you exit through File->Exit, ControlSuite will not display normally.
