MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: Documentation for out2rprc doesn't seem to mention the need to install .NET framework under Windows

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X

Running CCS 10.4 under Windows 10 Pro, used Resource Explorer to install mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_08_00_00_21. Imported an example but got errors from the makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen:

When attempted to run C:/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_00_00_21/tools/boot/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe from a command shell got:

Clicked "Download and install this feature" to let Windows 10 install the required .NET framework 3.5.

After the installation of .NET framework 3.5 was complete, the makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen then ran successfully.

The Download, Install and Setup SDK and Tools doesn't seem to mention that the .NET framework might need to be installed / updated under Windows 10 (it only mentions the need to install the Mono runtime if on Linux).

Is it worth updating the setup instructions to mention the required .NET framework version to be installed under Windows 10 for boot image generation?

  • Hi Chester,

    Thank you so much for important feedback. Appreciate your time in letting us know. Customers like you helps us build the great product! 

    I have filed bug in our SDK to update the documentation to include the missing step. They have accepted it so it would be part of SDK8.1 (scheduled Oct end 2021).

    Bug details for reference - MCUSDK-1586 - Documentation update for out2rprc binary dependencies

    Regards,
