How to use ACPY3?

ow after updating to this version (3.3.79), my decoder is not working
for
any kind of DMA trasfers using ACPY3. The decoder hangs in ACPY3_Wait
even
for the cases which CCS 3.3.38 was able to pass.

What version of Framework Components are you using ? What device/simulator will you try and run your usage example on ?

Hello Gunjan,

The Framework Components is version 2_23_01. The code has to run on the C6747 of an OMAPL137 now and on an Integra a bit later.

TIA!

Markus

Thanks for the advice! For now it seems that I have to understand the sources without running them on my DSP: I can't get the sources to compile :( What I did in CCS4 was:

• File->Import->Existing CCS [...] Projects
• Select search directory: <FC_INSTALL_DIR>/examples/ti/sdo/fc/dman3/examples/fastcopy/omapL137_bios
• Checked discovered project fastcopy
• Checked "Copy sources into workspace
• Finish

This went smootly, but alas! it doesn't compile:

Hmm :( I'll see if I get along

Source code may be hard to follow unless you can step through it (using CCS), since there are some #ifdef(s) etc, that may be hard to follow.

So I tried doing something similar to what you were trying, and I managed to successfully build the project. 

* File -> Import -> CCS -> Legacy CCSv3.3 Project

* Select a project file -> fastcopytest.pjt          (NOT fastcopytest-llrm.pjt. I noticed from some of your error messages that CCS was also trying to import this second pjt file, lets

                                                                                  concentrate on the first one only for now)

* Once I imported it, it gave me a one line error in my Migration.log:-

!WARNING: File 'fastcopytest.cmd' explicitly references a TConf-generated linker-command file (line 4). Please remove this reference when migration completes - CCS now automatically handles generated files during project-build.

I followed the above instructions, and removed that line from fastcopytest.cmd from my project listing.

* After that I had to adjust set some environment variables and adjust some build settings (all related to paths) to  make sure all sources could be found. 

FC_INSTALL_DIR

XDAIS_INSTALL_DIR -> FC_INSTALL_DIR/fctools

BIOS_INSTALL_DIR

XDC_INSTALL_DIR

Make sure the examples/fastcopy and examples/fastcopy/omapl137_bios directories are in the path as well.

The example built fine after the above steps. I don't have a simulator or board right now to run this imported/rebuilt executable on, so this is as far as I got.

Maybe you could try the steps I have listed above ?!

Thanks,

Gunjan

Gunjan (or anyone else):

Thanks for the useful information here.  I do have some follow up questions related to this post: Do I have to use code composer to run this sample?  Is there a way of launching this from the command line?   Where are the binaries for this application?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

Since these Framework Components ACPY3 tests are all DSP-only executables, you need CCS to run them on the board. For examples, if look under:-

<FC_INSTALL_DIR>/examples/ti/sdo/fc/dman3/examples/fastcopy/<device_name>//fastcopytest_<device_name>.x<ext> 

For e.g, there's the following for omapL1137:-

omapL137_bios/fastcopytest_omapL137.x674

Thanks,

Gunjan.
