[ProcessorSDK ,PDK] How to build qmss transport ?

Hi Naoki,

Naoki says said:

'm trying to build ipc qmss transport with ProcessorSDK/PDK environment. 
I want to debug the transport with debug configuration in order to debug my own ipc program with ProcessorSDK/PDK, but the following recipe is not sufficient to build the transport. In config.bld, there are many environment variables for the tool chain, for example, Cortex-A15, etc.., but I'm just focusing on C66 only.

The CCS project build and CCS debugging is available for transport qmss. Dont focus on config.bld. It is very simple.

The following are the steps for transportqmss project for processor SDK / PDK.

1. First generate the PDK example for transport qmss.

In command prompt

>cd C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages

C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages>pdkProjectCreate.bat C6678 all little qmss dsp

2. Once generated, import the project into CCS and build the project. You will find the project at "~:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages\MyExampleProjects\transportQmssBenchmarkC6678C66ExampleProject"

Hi Shankari,

No, I'm not asking example code generation for transportQmssBenchmark under ProcessorSDK/PDK environment.
With ProcessorSDK/PDK, I have already succeeded example code generation and confirmed transportQmssBenchmark worked successfully on my C6678 EVM.

I'm now trying to debug my own program (not transportQmssBenchmark ) under ProcessorSDK/PDK environment, which it was working on MCSDK environment. My program looks like the following:
- Core0 : NDK protocol stack working, and Core0 communicates with slave cores1-7 via IPC Notify/MessageQ (using QMSS transport)
- Core1-7 : IPC Notify/MessageQ (using QMSS transport) service provider for core0
Please note separate executable is running on each core.

What I'm asking is building ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.c6678.ae66 static library with debug configurations, which it is existing on C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages\ti\transport\ipc\c66\qmss\lib\c6678\c66.

Even though I issued the above recipe on command prompt, it does not update ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.c6678.ae66 -- The last updated date indicates 2016/01/09.

Hi,

I got some progress for this issue.
I issued the following commands to build qmss transport library and ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.c6678.ae66 got generated, but minor problem is existing.

■PDK qmss transport build

cd C:/ti/pdk_c667x_2_0_0/packages
set C6X_GEN_INSTALL_PATH="C:/ti/ti-cgt-c6000_8.1.0"
set EDMA3LLD_BIOS6_INSTALLDIR=C:/ti/edma3_lld_02_12_01_22
set CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:/ti/cg_xml/bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:/ti/cg_xml/bin
pdksetupenv.bat
cd C:/ti/pdk_c667x_2_0_0/packages/ti/transport/ipc/c66/qmss
xdc clean -PR .
xdc -PR .

Then, I saw the following error on console. It looks failing to generate ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.ae66_size.txt.

C:/Users/139432/AppData/Local/Temp/make878540-1.sh: sectti: not found
gmake[1]: *** [lib/c66/ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.ae66_size.txt] Error 127
gmake[1]: *** Deleting file `lib/c66/ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.ae66_size.txt'
xdctools_3_31_02_38_core\gmake.exe: *** [.,.libraries] Error 2

It seems the makefile could not find sectti,  but as you see in the above commands, I've set 'CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH'. I'm not sure this is required, but I also added  'set PATH=%PATH%;C:/ti/cg_xml/bin', but still I saw this error.
Any suggestion ?

Also, I could not specify --opt_level=off as a compile option in config file because of the following error:

error: argument to option -op (0-3) is out of range (must be a number from 0 to 3

-o0/1/2/3 is okay for building ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.c6678.ae66, but -opt_level=off is not allowed. I want to use -opt_level=off for my debugging.

Naoki

Hi Naoki,

C:/Users/139432/AppData/Local/Temp/make878540-1.sh: sectti: not found
gmake[1]: *** [lib/c66/ti.transport.ipc.c66.qmss.ae66_size.txt] Error 127

I've also faced the same problem and able to solve by building the QMSS in PDK home location.

cd C:/ti/pdk_c667x_2_0_0/packages
set C6X_GEN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-c6000_8.1.0
set EDMA3LLD_BIOS6_INSTALLDIR=C:\ti\edma3_lld_02_12_01_22
set CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\cg_xml\bin
pdksetupenv.bat

Append the following lines in "C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages\makefile"

qmss:
$(MAKE) -C ./ti/drv/qmss all

qmss_clean:
$(MAKE) -C ./ti/drv/qmss clean

qmss_ipc:
$(MAKE) -C ./ti/transport/ipc/c66/qmss all

qmss_ipc_clean:
$(MAKE) -C ./ti/transport/ipc/c66/qmss clean

Shankari,

In this case, the library itself looks getting updated, but gmake does not fetch new compile options correctly.

For example, if you build qmss component with -o0, I think a modification is required in config.bld in C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages\ti\drv\qmss:

Default:
C66LE.ccOpts.prefix  = "-mo -o3 -q -k -eo.o --mem_model:data=far";

After modification:
C66LE.ccOpts.prefix  = "-mo -o0 -q -k -eo.o --mem_model:data=far";

But gmake is still using -o3, not -o0 during its build process.  
I seem this is caused by not getting updated ti.drv.qmss.c6678.ae66.mk correctly in C:\ti\pdk_c667x_2_0_0\packages\ti\drv\qmss\build\c6678\c66.

Hi Shankari,

Thank you for your confirmation. This is just my thoughts, but I believe the same issue would happen in MCSDK's PDK.

Hi,

I'd like to use QMSS IPC transport  for my own program. I'm trying to build library, but I've got some errors.

My configuration is:

- TMS320C6670,

- CCS 5.5,

- xdctools_3_25_03_72,

- ipc 1_25_03_15,

- sysbios 6.35.4.50,

- MCSDK PDK TMS320C6670 1.1.2.6,

- c667x PDK 2.0.3.

PDK qmss transport build with command:

set C6X_GEN_INSTALL_PATH="C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.4"

set XDC_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\xdctools_3_25_03_72

set EDMA3LLD_BIOS6_INSTALLDIR=C:\ti\edma3_lld_2_12_01_25

set CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\cg_xml\bin

set BIOS_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\bios_ccsv5\packages

set IPC_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\ipc_1_25_03_15\packages

pdksetupenv.bat

I've got errors:

How build this library for TMS320C6670?

Thanks.

Lukasz.

My print screen:

I 've corrected :

set BIOS_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\bios_ccsv5\packages

to

set BIOS_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\C:\ti\bios_6_35_04_50\packages

then I put command:

pdksetupenv.bat

and:

pdkProjectCreate.bat C6670 all little qmss dsp

I have no idea which soc choose for TMS320C6670.

I also tried to build transportQmssBenchmarkC6678C68ExampleProject, but I have problem with paths.

Could anyone help me ?

Thanks.

Lukasz.

Lukasz,

To build transport library, just invoke the following command sequence :

cd C:\ti\pdk_C6670_1_1_2_6\packages\ti\drv
set EDMA3_LLD_INSTALL_PATH=edma3_lld_02_11_05_02
set C6X_GEN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.1
set XDC_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\xdctools_3_23_04_60
set CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\cg_xml\bin
pdksetupenv.bat
set XDCPATH=%XDCPATH%;C:\ti\ipc_1_24_03_32\packages
set XDCPATH=%XDCPATH%;C:\ti\bios_6_33_06_50\packages
cd C:\ti\pdk_C6670_1_1_2_6\packages\ti\transport\ipc\qmss\transports
xdc clean
xdc all

Good luck.
Naoki

Naoki,
Thanks for your help. You are great !
I did it with following command sequence :

cd C:\ti\pdk_C6670_1_1_2_6\packages\ti\drv
set EDMA3_LLD_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\edma3_lld_02_11_05_02
set C6X_GEN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.4
set XDC_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\xdctools_3_25_03_72
set CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\cg_xml\bin
pdksetupenv.bat
set XDCPATH=%XDCPATH%;C:\ti\ipc_1_25_03_15\packages
set XDCPATH=%XDCPATH%;C:\ti\bios_6_33_06_50\packages
cd C:\ti\pdk_C6670_1_1_2_6\packages\ti\transport\ipc\qmss\transports
xdc clean
xdc all

Now I'll try use this library.
Thanks.
Lukasz.
