SIMPLELINK-MSP432-SDK: Build errors for program with external library and MSP432SDK

Gregory Lanier

Hello,

I am having some errors when trying to build a project using an external library, msp432_boostxl_lib, along with the MSP432SDK.

I watched this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzHtq51IjDM to get the external library added, which was very helpful. Afterwards, I began to have the error "arm_math.h not found", so I refollowed the steps listed in the video to try and include that file as well. That seemed to work, but I am now having a variety of new errors coming from somewhere I have never seen before: the CCS compiler include.

The errors seem to show multiple files that cannot be found. I'm not entirely sure what I am missing in the includes.

I'll attach plenty of screenshots below (sorry in advance for the amount of repeat includes, I'm not sure yet what I can/can't take away).

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi Greg

Dose the error come from the library project or application project? And it is better to upload the project that have the errors that I can easer to debug.

Based on the error information. it seems you have not define the variables or symbols when you used it.

Hey Gary,

Thank you for the response.

The errors seem to be coming from the application project. The library project is building fine. The original source for the error was related to a header file used in the library that didn't appear until the project uses the library.

I will attach the zipped up code here with both the library and application for debugging purposes.

Thank you so much,

Greg

Your screenshot seems to say that you're including a library named "arm_math.h". Last I saw that file it was C source, not a compiled library.

Different error from my side as below with the application project(bxl_test)

I can't find the file arm_math.h, it seems a file from CMSIS DSP lib, but when I download the CMSIS source file version 5.8.0 from here https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/releases/tag/5.8.0 but I can find the lib file in the source, does anybody know where it is?

On my system, the header file is in:

C:\ti\simplelink_msp432p4_sdk_3_40_01_02\source\third_party\CMSIS\Include

-----------------------

My point was that it is a header file, not a library file, and so should be removed from the list of library files (in the original screenshot). My guess is that the linker is trying to interpret it as a .cmd file.
