Not able to compile RM46 example project

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM46L852, INSTASPIN-BLDC, MOTORWARE

I have DRV8301-RM46-KIT motor control kit. I have followed the instructions to install all the tools included in the CD. I have CCS v5.2.1 and ARM compiler V5.0.1. I am not able to compile the example project included in the CD.

I import the example software projects (InstaSPIN-BLDC or InstaSPIN-FOC-SMO) in CCS. I try to build the project I get the following error: This project was created for a device-variant that is not currently recognized: Cortex R.RM46L852. Please install the device-variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device-variants by adjusting project properties.

How do I install the device variant descriptor? Do I have to set a property or something in the compiler?...

  • Hi Veronica,

    the best thing to do would actually be to download ccsv6 , the latest version.

    Make sure you install control suite from the new app centre and then use the latest example and version of the tools.

    Be sure to install the correct device support when installing ccs.  Please keep us informed.

    Best regards,
    Lisa

    It is possible that CCS 5.2.1 did not have support for the RM46. I just imported an example project from Hercules Motorware into CCS 5.5 and it imported and built without errors. As mentioned by Lisa, I would recommend installing the latest version of CCS (currently 6.0.1) or at the least CCS 5.5.

  • It works. I have installed CCS V6 and ARM Compiler V5.0.1 and it compiles.

    Thank you.
