TMS320F28335 Can't find the target named 'devkits.target.Generic'

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335

I have the Peripheral Explorer kit for the TMS320F28335 and I am trying to get the BigTime c++ example working with CCS6.4.  I am getting the error in the subject line and I am stumped. 


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Did you mean CCS 5.4 or CCS 6.1? And where are you importing the bigtime project from? Is it from TI-RTOS for C2000?

  • My mistake, it's CCS  Version: 6.1.0.00104

    File-> New->CCS Project>

    Target 2833x Delfino   TMS320F28335

    Compiler version TI v6.4.4 (this is where I must have gotten the 6.4 from)

    Advanced Settings (default values)

    Project Templates and examples  >SYS/BIOS>Generic Examples>C++ Example

    When I create a project this way I get the following in the console

    Now I have CCS 5.3 installed on my system from a few years back and it works great, I'm just trying to upgrade.

  • Andrew,

    The XDCtools shipped with CCSv6 are a stripped down version of what was shipped wtih CCSv5, and no longer includes the platform packages. These packages (along with other products) are now packaged as part of TI-RTOS.

    As indicated in this message, platforms are no longer shipped with XDCtools. If you install TI-RTOS for C2000, that will have the SYS/BIOS product and platforms required to build the project. You can install TI-RTOS for C2000 from CCS App Center. After installation, make sure to go into your Project Properties and enable TI-RTOS (and disable SYS/BIOS) before building the project.

    You can also access these examples from TI Resource Explorer (CCS menu View->Resource Explorer) which provides a simple interface to import and build example projects.

  • Thanks for the info and how to move forward. I am still a little confused regarding SYS/BIOS vs TI-RTOS. From what I've found online TI-RTOS replaces SYS/BIOS. Is that correct?

    That is correct. TI-RTOS includes SYS/BIOS kernel as well as other middleware components, device drivers etc.
