xTIMEcomposer crashes while importing projects

Post by Mercury1964 »

Just got my startKIT and downloaded xTIMEcomposer. As it failed to start, I applied the fix documented here: http://www.xcore.com/questions/2104/xti ... ubuntu1304 (fix number 1 with the alternate libraries), and while it allows the composer to start, will crash whenever I try to get examples or libraries from the Community sidebar. Disabling the sidebar works as well, but it seems helpful and I would rather not get rid of it. Any ideas?

On your machine home area there will be a .xmos folder. Can you remove all the content of the cache (available in the .xmos folder) folder and restart the tool. Now, try importing the xSOFTip components into the tool.

Can you try the following procedure to see if you are able to do it by these steps:

1. Open xtimecompsoer workspace and click on import --> Git --> Projects from Git and click on Clone button
2. This opens the clone window
3. Enter the URL as : https://github.com/xcore/sw_startkit_examples.git

Follow the instructions on the screen to import the git repo into the workspace. This helps us to narrow down the issue to find out if the issue is with eclipse git plugin or with xtimecomposer. as we are not able to replicate the issue from our end, can you please give a try using the mentioned procedure.

Yup, importing from git worked. It also seems to crash while opening the Developer sidebar, not just while importing xSOFTip files.

Are you behind a proxy server to connect to network? If this is the case, you can follow the workaround to make the developer column work:
http://www.xcore.com/questions/1813/how ... oxy-server

If this is not the case, can you send the debug log to find whats going on in your case. You can generate the debug log by the following procedure:

- SetEnv.bat
- .\xtimecomposer_bin\xtimecomposer.exe -consoleLog -debug
