Configuration problem with RTOS Analyzer in CCS 6.0 and DSP/BIOS 5.42

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5505, TMS320C6747
I'm running Code Composer 6.01 and DSP/BIOS 5.42. I have my computer connected to a TMS320C5505 eZDSP USB Stick. I have built a program that runs uses the DSP/BIOS just to print out a "Hello world" to the RTOS Analyzer tool.
The GEL output says I have successfully connected to the target.
Then I load and execute the program with the Debugger. Debugger status
says (Running).
When I use the RTOS Analyzer and select "Printf and Error menu" to see
the "hello world", I then get a pop-up that says:
"Could not detect a UIA configuration. One of the following is required:
        * Either load a program with UIA instrumentation turned on
        * Or specify a custom UIA configuration
If an instrumented program is already loaded then verify that the generated
*.uia.xml and *.rta.xml files are located in the folder they were generated in
or are in the same folder as the .out file."
  • Hi,

    This message stems from the fact your project does not have UIA (Unified Instrumentation Architecture), which is different than the built-in DSP/BIOS analysis tools.

    Unfortunately the combination of tools you are using is not the most favourable. DSP/BIOS does not support UIA. UIA does not support C55x devices. CCSv6 dropped support for the RTA Legacy tools (the analysis tools for DSP/BIOS releases, available in CCSv5.5).

    For this combination of features (DSP/BIOS and CCSv6.x), your only analysis option is the RTOS Object View (ROV).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • Is this true for CCS6, DSP/BIOS 5.42 and the TMS320C6747 ?
  • Thanks, Rafael. Being new to the tools, I also was confused why the UIA module didn't appear supported for RTOS. I was able to see debug output using ROV. Thanks again for this post.
