So I'll install CCSv6. Can I use DSP/BIOSv5.20.xx on CCSv6? I'd like to use this BIOS version with built-in ROM.

In CCS v6, DSP/BIOS has been referred (upgraded to) as SYS/BIOS. Check this: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:DSPBIOS

CCSv6 supports BIOS 5.4 (which is binary compatible with with BIOS 5.3). If you wish to use BIOS 5.2, I would recommend trying CCSv5.5. You can configure it to use the old BIOS 5.2 version (Windows->Preferences->RTSC->Products, hit the "Install New" button and select the bios directory). You will get build integration with CCS, though you will lose RTA support.

Hello Ki,

Thank you for your information. I installed DSP/BIOSv5.20.05.34 and configured it in CCSv6. But I can't see it at Installed products. Does this mean that I can't use this version in CCSv6? However I can see it in CCSv5.5. But there is not "Install New" button. So I didn't above procedure.

Window -> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> RTSC -> Products, hit "Install New" button and select "C:\ti\bios_5_20_05_34\bios_5_20_05"

Kazu

Yes, there is a known issue with CCSv6 and discovering BIOS versions lower than BIOS5.4x

Hello Ki,

Thank you for your reply. I had a problem of BIOS path in CCSv5.5. So I re-installed DSP/BIOSv5.20 to the following path.
C:\ti\bios_5_20_05

I can compile hello example of padk6727 Examples in DSP/BIOS v5.xx Examples. But I have a warning below. Could you tell me how to resolve?

[E0300] Cannot define an absolute symbol with a floating-point value; symbol's value will be encoded in floating-point format
hellocfg.h62 /bios5_hello/Debug line 121 C/C++ Problem

Hello Ki,

I tried testing swi example by DSP/BIOSv5.20.05 in CCSv5.5. I seems that it's working fine with built-in ROM. I add "bios.GBL.LINKWITHROM = 1;" into tcf file. I can see LOG_printf message below and also see program counter which is at ROM address when I call SWI_post.

Tools -> RTOS Analyzer -> RTA (Legacy) -> Printf Logs
1,1,Main posts SWI0,trace,
2,2,Main done!,trace,
3,3,swiFxn0 posts SWI1,trace,
4,4,SWI1 done!,trace,
5,5,SWI0 done!,trace,

I’m worried about warning message when I compile. I find same message below in this project. Could you help me?
