Ok, That does answer some questions. 

But, now I am having the issue where the M4 core does not get built. The RPRC file does not seem to generate/exist

Have you configured the system.xml file properly? Please refer https://e2e.ti.com/.../5335102.

The project and the build configuration parameters should be configured properly. Also try to rebuild the project instead of just building it.

Please refer below image.
