I think I found the solution. Here's the steps:
- open the .cfg
- just under the message.cfg tab there is an arrow you click
- then select UIA -> Services -> ServiceMgr
- then change TransportType_ETHERNET to TransportType_FILE
The following in bold is added to the .cfg file
var ServiceMgr = xdc.useModule('ti.uia.runtime.ServiceMgr');
ServiceMgr.topology = ServiceMgr.Topology_MULTICORE;
ServiceMgr.transportType = ServiceMgr.TransportType_FILE;
Now to see if it dumps the logs.
