LP-AM243: makefile autogen causing unexpected problems

Justin Reina

Part Number: LP-AM243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hi,

I have no idea what is causing this, but when I import projects now from Tirex some of the path references import with reversed slashes. Here is my configuration -

Goto Project->Project Wizard(Resource Explorer)
Import gpio_led_blink for my AM243X Launchpad
Build Project fails, two path variables import with reversed slashes ('/' instead of '\')
I fix them, and compile works, even though it also resets the specified slashes in #3 back to '/', but now it compiles fine

This is clumsy and weird; can I fix this? See attached for reference ('r5' shows prob)

Hi Justin,

Thanks for very detailed bug summary. I have assigned this thread to our tools team. They should come back shortly.

Meanwhile, I tried this at my end and it worked for me without any changes.

C:/ti/ccs1110/ccs/utils/bin/gmake -C C:\Users\xyz\workspace_v11_1\gpio_led_blink_am243x-lp_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang -f makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen OUTNAME=gpio_led_blink_am243x-lp_r5fss0-0_nortos_ti-arm-clang PROFILE=Debug MCU_PLUS_SDK_PATH=C:/xyz/dev/installer/mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_08_02_00_31 CG_TOOL_ROOT=C:/ti/ccs1110/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-armllvm_1.3.0.LTS CCS_INSTALL_DIR=C:\ti\ccs1110\ccs CCS_IDE_MODE=desktop
Boot image: am243x:r5fss0-0:nortos:ti-arm-clang

Btw, I am seeing you are using SDK08.02.00.28 which was taken down from our side due to packaging issue. Please use latest release which has fix for this - 08.02.00.31

Regards,

Prasad

Prasad - I imported and build the same example in CCS 11.1.0. I get a build error. I assume this is the error Justin is referring to.

Ok I think mine was a different issue. I didn't have sysconfig 1.11 installed in the expected directory (C:\ti\sysconfig_1.11.0). Once I manually installed a standalone version, the build was successful.

Hi Ki et team, thank you for your detailed resp! Here is the console output Ki requested -

Example_png.zip

Here is the info requested -

CCS being used: CCS v11.1.0.00011
Host OS & vers: Win10 Pro v19044.1620
MCU+ SDK: mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_08_02_00_31

I do not currently have sysconfig installed, I think.

Ok, you are getting the same error as I was.

Try downloading sysconfig 1.11 from:

https://www.ti.com/tool/download/SYSCONFIG

And install in the default location.

Question for Prasad - The post build action seems to assume a standalone installtion of sysconfig 1.11 in the default directory. Is this hard coded?

arrrrrgggh, this tinkering broke my CCS install & MCU-SDK stuff doing a full re-install now & pressed for time. Won't be able to follow-up here my apologies

It is configurable via makefile (imports.mak).

TOOLS_PATH?=C:/ti
SYSCFG_PATH ?= $(TOOLS_PATH)/sysconfig_1.11.0

Prasad

i am still encountering this, 20 or 30 times per hour is there a way to resolve it?

0 Ki over 3 years ago in reply to Justin Reina

TI__Guru**** 464431 points

Do you have Sysconfig 1.11 installed in:

C:\ti\sysconfig_1.11.0

0 Justin Reina over 3 years ago in reply to Ki

Prodigy 91 points

yep! "C:\ti\sysconfig_1.11.0"

Can you again provide all the build messages in the build console? Please copy&paste the messages to a text file and post the file to this thread.

Thanks

I've been having the same problem.

It seems that SYSCFG_NODE is not set properly during CCS installation (I have 11.2.0.00007).

I used to have a separate install of SysConfig but I uninstalled that quite some time ago. However, SYSCFG_NODE still translates to C:/ti/sysconfig_1.11.0/nodejs/node.

So, if I temporarily add:

SYSCFG_NODE = C:/ti/ccs1120/ccs/tools/node/node.exe

to makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen, just before the variable is used, then the makefile works without error.

Hope that helps,

Steve
