 'Instruction is only available in V5 and higher'

This message is saying that the instruction syntax is supported only in ARM v5 architecture and higher. Please take a look at slide 3 of this presentation for  correlating architecture versions with processors.

Over time, the ARM codegen tools have evolved to add support for the different ABIs and ARM architectures, Starting with codegen tools 4.1.x the default ABI also changed from the older TIABI to TI ARM9 ABI. If you have the latest version of CCS 3.3, you will find ARM codegen tools v4.1.4 in it. You can review the CGTNew.txt file within the C:\CCStudio_v3.3\tms470\docs folder to understand the ABI changes that came starting with that veraion. If you are migrating code from an older version of compiler tools (that came with CCS 3.3) to a newer version (that comes with CCS v5) these are some of the factors to consider.

Which version of compiler tools did you use when building with CCS 3.3? You can check by going to the Component Manager, Build Tools and check the version of TMS470 code generation tools. To perform the migration in a more step-by-step approach you could first start off by setting CCSv5 to use the same version of compiler tools as you did with CCS 3.3. This page describes how to do that: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Installation_and_Selection#CCStudio_5.1 
Verify that the project builds and works as expected. Then modify the project to use the newer version of compiler tools. You may need to set/keep some compiler options to maintain backward compatibility and/or modify code to make it compatible with the newer tools.

 

Dear AartiG,

As per your suggestion, I compiled with earlier ccd 3.3 cgtools(4.1.4). The files compiled. Thank you.

But if I change to compile with cg tools 4.9.0(Project->Properties->CCS General->Code-generation tools),

the abi option((Project->Properties->CCS Build->TMS470 Compiler->Runtime Model Options->abi) automatically changes to ti_arm9_abi.

Even if I change to tiabi, I get the same error,

**********************************************************************************************************************

Instruction is only available in V5 and higher
 CDP p5,#F_SUB,ResultReg0,SP_OP2,SP_OP1 ; Perform the Single Precision Substraction

**********************************************************************************************************************

I checked this presentation. Here, in slide, 'ARM Processors Overview', it says 

ARM7  |       ARMv4T  |      -mv4 
ARM9  |    ARMv5TE  |     -mv5e

I am using '-mv4' option itself.

I am unable to understand whether I have to change some other compile option or make the change in the instruction. 

I am skeptical about the latter as I am still using '-mv4' option and the same instruction ran with '-mv4 -tiabi ' options in cgtools 4.1.4 and it compiles.

Please help me resolve this.

It may be that the instruction may need to be changed. Could you attach the assembly file which generates this error and the full list of compiler options you are using?

Hi AartiG,

Please find the compile options I am using:

"-mv4 -g --define="_DEBUG" --include_path="C:/ccs/ccsv5/tools/compiler/tms470/include" --include_path="/packages/ti/xdais" --diag_warning=225 -me --abi=tiabi --code_state=16 --std_lib_func_redefined --obj_directory="C:/GNSS_45nm/Private/source/product/ti/GPS_ROM/projectfiles/fpu/Build_45NM""

I have attached one of the asm files(renamed as .txt) which throws this error. The CDP instruction is used in line 47 and 61.

Below are the ccs 3.3 compiler options that I used:

-g -pdsw225 -ol0 -fr"C:\GNSS_45nm\Private\source\product\ti\GPS_ROM\projectfiles\fpu\Build_45NM" -d"_DEBUG" -me -mt -mv4 --abi=tiabi

5516.PRI_SUB.asm.txt

I am missing the include file pri.h hence cannot compile the file successfully. However, even with all the other assembler errors generated I don't see the "Instruction is only available in V5 and higher " error with CGT 4.9.0. If you can include the pri.h and any other files that file may include so I can get a successful compile, I can confirm if I can reproduce the error or not.

Dear AartiG,

Please find the header file attached.

Sorry, but there was no file attached.

Hi AarthiG,

Sorry too! Please find the same attached

2627.PRI.h.txt.

Thanks for providing the file. I can reproduce the error you mentioned. I see that there is no error with CGT 4.1.x but starting with 4.4.0, all the later compiler versions generate the error. I will see if I can get someone else to comment on the reason for this.

can you please update me...

The CDP and CDP2 instructions are only available for Thumb-2 devices.  I read the thread too quickly. This appears to be a bug. It looks like we took the warning for the CDP2 instruction (available for v5 and higher) and applied it to CDP.

How can I check if the issue SDSCM00043069 is resolved?

Team,

Thank you for thr resolution.

Please let me know if I have to re-install CCSv5 or a version update will suffice to get the bug-free version.
