Cannot open custom.lfk / Debug.lkf

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I work in Code Composer Studio v 3.3.

For an other reason I had to install Code Generation Tools 7.0.0 instead of default 7.0.4 but I have a problem.

When I import a project and I compile it, the compiler tells me: Cannot open Custom.lkf (with CGS 7.0.4 I have not this problem).

Reading the forum I found it: e2e.ti.com/.../217581 so I create a new project but when I compile it, the compiler tells me: Cannot open Debug.lkf.

In the forum I found it: https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/178190 but the "magic folder" cited in it change my compiler from 7.0.0 to 7.0.4 so I have the initial problem.

I write here for ask if anyone has solved the problem whit compiler 7.0.0.

Browsing the file of project I saw that the Custom.lkf is a line of the file .pjt that tells the compiler about the setting. I tried to change this line , but I have not solved the problem.

I also tried to change the compiler's settings in the project by forcing the use of another file, but the problem persists .

Has anyone found a solution ?


Thanks

    Hello,
    What device are you working with? Judging by the compiler version number you mentioned (v7.0.x), i am going to guess that it is some C6000 based device but I would like to be sure.

    Also I assume you installed some standalone version of the compiler since CCSv3.3 does not come with any compiler with version 7.x. Where did you get it and how did you install it?

    Thanks

    Hello ,
    in that (e2e.ti.com/.../422336) other thread I'll explain why I need the compiler 7.0 . The problem is the space available in the DSP and the program complexity.
    The compiler was provided me by George Mock ( with private message ) . I installed it by copying the files in the folder C : \ CCStudio_v3.3 \ C2000 \ cgtools dividing them into bin , include and lib. In particular , in the bin folder I put the .exe and .dll files , in the include folder the .h and, in the lib folder, .lib and .src files.
    My setup is Code composer Studio 3.3.38, Windows XP, DSP TMS320LF2407, Jtag JET C2000.

    Thanks!

    sorry I'm wrong. The folder where I copied the files is C2400 (not C2000)

    I see. You used the old hack method and overwrote the existing C24x compiler in the directory. This help explains the issue.

    That method is not really supported. However you don't have much choice if you want to use CCSv3.x and C24x cgt v7.0.0 since we don't support changing the cgt version for C24x in CCSv3.

    I can reproduce the issue. I don't know yet the exact cause. I will continue digging but note that because both CCSv3 is no longer support and same goes for C24x, there are not a lot of resources available to help investigate. You are better off going back to your original CC environment if you want to use 7.0.0 compiler

    Thanks
