CCS 5.5 SYS/BIOS F28379D Example Link Error

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28379D

I'm having a tough time getting the example SYS/BIOS project up for the F28379D control card. I'm using CCS 5.5.0.00077, SYS/BIOS 3.67.5.35 and XdcTools 3.25.6.96.

I'm following resource explorer under C2000->2837xD->TMS320F28379D->Typical.

The project imports fine, but when linking, shows the following errors:

If I add the linker script 2837x_FLASH_lnk_cpu1.cmd I get the following error:

What is the appropriate linker command file for the example SYS/BIOS project?

Hello,

I'm moving your post to the TI-RTOS forum so the SYS/BIOS experts can assist you.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I do not recognize the SYS/BIOS version referenced: "SYS/BIOS 3.67.5.35 ". SYS/BIOS began with version 6.0.

Sorry, that was a typo, should have said: 6.37.05.35

Which RTSC platform and device are you using? This will be shown in your CCS project's General build settings under the "RTSC" tab next to the "Main" tab. Usually the platform provides a linker command file. But if it doesn't, you need to provide one in your project.

Attached is the linker command file the platform would provide for the F28377D . (change the extension to .cmd after you download it so that CCS recognizes it as a linker command file)

Thanks Alan. I'm using XDCtools version 3.25.6.96 and SYS/BIOS 6.37.5.35 and trying to program an F28379D.

Using the linker file you proved, the project builds, but when I try to run it, I get the following error:

C28xx_CPU1: GEL Output:
Memory Map Initialization Complete
C28xx_CPU1: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.
C28xx_CPU2: GEL Output:
Memory Map Initialization Complete
C28xx_CPU2: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.

Is this error due to the linker file or something to do with programming flash memory?

The error above was due to lack of intrinsic support of flash programming on F28379D in CCSv5. I followed e2e.ti.com/.../1150959 and it seems to work now.
