Converting old project to CCS 6

Dear all,

I´m having an old project buid with CCS  version 2.21.13.  It is code for a custom board.  I have tried to convert this project into CCS version 6 using the legacy CCSv3.3 projects selection but this gives me a lot of trouble. The board has a mounted TMS320C2812. One of the first things  I noticed was the need for an old xdctool package in order to the processor to be recognized 3.25.6.96. But now I get a lot of other error like the one shown below. I must admit that I´m fresh with respect to using CCS.  

Can anyone give me some hints what the best way is to tackle this conversion step 

Thanks in advance

Wim

  • Wim,

    That is a big jump going from CCSv2.21 to CCSv6.  Is your project DSP/BIOS based?  The reason I ask is that xdctools didn't even exist back in the days of CCSv2.21.  Depending on what packages (BIOS, XDAIS...) your project uses it might be easier to try to create a new project in CCSv6 and then add your source files to it.  This one is going to take a bit of time to get going.

    Regards,
