XDC issue?

Umberto,

I haven't been able to reproduce your results locally.

I was able to successfully build the BIOS 5.41.11.38 evm6424 stairstep example using the 3.22.04.46 and xdc 3.23.00.32 tools.

Can you post a trimmed down version of your project that demonstrates the problem?

Alan

Alan,

thank you for your reply.

In attachment a project with UART example extracted from PSP 1.10.03 for C6424 provided by TI.

I am able to compile it with XDC 3.20.08.88, but not with XDC 3.22.04.46.

Could you help me to understand my problem?

Thank you very much!

Umberto

Umberto,

I was able to import and reproduce your results.

I've asked a local expert on this topic to have a look.

Alan

Umberto,
I think I found a bug in XDCtools 3.22.04.46 that is causing the problem you have. The only workaround I can think of right now requires you to edit a file in your XDCtools installation. You can try to do this until we find something better:
- go to xdctools_3_22_04_46\packages\xdc\tools\configuro\template
- save a copy of package.bld.xdt so you can go back to its original content if needed
- open package.bld.xdt
- look for the line 124, which should contain:
  var suffix = '.p' + targ.suffix;
- replace '.p' with '.x'
- rebuild

Let me know if this works for you.

Alan and Sasha,

thank you for your help.

I followed Sasha's workaround: now I am able to build .cfg file, but the project doesn't link.

Here CCSv5 console output:

That's the similar problem, but in a different file. In the same directory where you made a previous change, there is a file package.xs.xdt. Find the line 31:
base + '_p' + suffix + '.o' + suffix,

and make the same change again, where 'p' is replaced by 'x', so the line becomes:
base + '_x' + suffix + '.o' + suffix,

I have filed a bug about this, but I can't tell yet if it will be fixed for the next 3.23.01 release, which should happen in a month or so. Can you tell me have you had a specific reason for upgrading from 3.20 to 3.22? We generally recommend upgrading to a newest release wherever possible, but the functionality you are using when passing the option --tcf is there only to support users while they are moving to SYS/BIOS 6, and eventually we will remove that support.

Sasha,

with your suggestions I am able to compile my project.

I haven't a specific reason to use 3.22, I'd like to use 3.22 because it is the newer release provided by default with CCSv5.

Are you sure your suggestions solve completely my problem or could I have other unpredictable problems in my .out file?

In your opinion, is better for me to use 3.20 or 3.22 with your "patch"?

Do you think it is too hard for me moving from DSP/BIOS 5 to SYS/BIOS 6? I think it isn't easy...

Thanks for your help!

Umberto

Sasha,

I'll try to move to SYS/BIOS 6.

Thanks for your support!

I'm seeing the same error as noted above:

"C:/TI/xdctools_3_23_02_47/packages/xdc/cfg/global.h", line 39: fatal error #5: could not open source file "C:/Users/mask01/Documents/CCSWorkspace1/VibrationMonitorRTSC2/Debug/configPkg/package/cfg/VibrationMonitor_p674.h"
1 fatal error detected in the compilation of "../BoardSpecific/SpiConfig.cpp".
Compilation terminated.

I tried changing both of the files mentioned above: package.bld.xdt and package.xs.xdt but no luck. Do you have any other suggestions?

Your error is different and probably not related to the bug that caused the other errors from this thread. Please open a new thread, and check if the file C:/Users/mask01/Documents/CCSWorkspace1/VibrationMonitorRTSC2/Debug/configPkg/package/cfg/VibrationMonitor_p674.h exists.

I've already posted this problem here:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/190696.aspx

No, VIbrationMonitor_p674.h does not exist. That's the whole problem.
