CCS/UCD3138: Setting Up UCD3138 F.W. for EVAL Boards

Babak Farhangi

Part Number: UCD3138

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, I try to develop an embedded controller for a dc-dc converter based on this controller (UCD3138 - 40 Pin version).

I have downloaded source codes from TI website for hard switching full-bridge converter and half bridge resonant converters from the link below:

http://www.ti.com/tool/ucd3138hsfbevm-029

http://www.ti.com/tool/ucd3138allcevm150

I could earlier complete and compile training labs for UCD3138; however, I have received several errors during compiling these projects. Are these projects supposed to be working right a way?

I am using CCS6.1.5 and I have installed both TI compilers 5.2.9 and 5.2.7.

Earlier I had errors with interrupts:

"../standard_interrupt.c", line 703 (col. 6): error #1559: Interrupt handlers must be compiled in ARM mode

That error was resolved based on an advice I read on this forum; I changed Designate code state to 32 bits in Processor options.

Now I have the following error:

"C:/ti/DigitalPower/LLCHBFirmware-1.2/Firmware/Device/UCD3138/Linker/cyclone.cmd", line 70: error #10099-D:
program will not fit into available memory. placement with alignment fails

PFLASH size: 0x7f38 unused: 0x7a08 max hole: 0x7a04
error #10010: errors encountered during linking; "UCD3138_LLC_HB.out" not built

Hello,

Do you have a problem to compile below source code?

http://www.ti.com/tool/ucd3138hsfbevm-029

From the description you gave, the compiler can't find cyclone.cmd because of wrong file location.

Regards,
Sean

Hi ,
I compiled that source code. I have problem with the following:

www.ti.com/.../ucd3138afw-llcwsrdto

I have not modified the project folders. I checked the message again, to me it sounds there is not enough memory space available for this program.

Do you have any suggestion to overcome this error?

Hi,

To install this program, it doesn't need much memory space. If you have CCS 6 installed in your computer before installing this program, you shouldn't have any problem. It works for Window 7 or XP.

Regards,
Sean

My setup is CCS V. 6.1.3.00034 on Win7. The error is as reported on my first post and not resolved yet.

With the same setup I could get the other project working on the 029 EVAL board.

HI Babak,

Have you tried loading a clean firmware and compiling again? I am not sure what steps you carried out to resolve the "Interrupts handlers must be compiled in ARM mode" . That could have disturbed the project setting .
I suggest removing the project folder from CCS and adding back again a clean version of the firmware.

If you are still not able to compile the project, please let us know the complete console output. We can look at what is going on .

Thanks,
Sanatan
