SYSCONFIG: Unable to open any ICSS/PRU SysConfig file from SDK examples

Part Number: SYSCONFIG
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODECOMPOSER

Hello

we are not able to open any SysConfig PRU file for example mcu_plus_sdk_am263px_26_00_00_06\examples\pru_io\empty\firmware\am263px-lp\icss_m0_pru0_fw\example.syscfg in sysconfig even CodeComposer

We try to do it with plenty of version combunation (sysconfig_1.26.2 sysconfig_1.27.0 sysconfig_1.27.1 sysconfig_1.28.) and (mcu_plus_sdk_am263px_10_02_00_15  cu_plus_sdk_am263px_11_00_00_19 mcu_plus_sdk_am263px_11_01_00_19 mcu_plus_sdk_am263px_26_00_00_06) and NONE of this works.

Reproduce:
Use SysConfig (any version) "Open an Existing Design", choose examples\pru_io\empty\firmware\am263px-lp\icss_m0_pru0_fw\example.syscfg (any version of SDK) and it fails

When we try open it on the CodeComposer, it not fail, but it just silently do nothing.

  • Hi,

    Checking the sysconfig file at examples\pru_io\empty\am263px-lp\r5fss0-0_freertos\example.syscfg, I see that it is empty.

    Could you please explain me the use case here?

    If the aim is to check an empty pru_io example, then please see the projects here

    1. examples\pru_io\empty\am263px-cc\r5fss0-0_freertos

    2. examples\pru_io\empty\am263px-lp\r5fss0-0_freertos

    Thanks & Regards,

    Aswin

  • Thank you for the clarification. What confused me was seeing .syscfg files associated with the PRU examples. My understanding was that SysConfig does not provide configuration support for the PRU itself (apart from things like pin multiplexing and other SoC-level settings), so I was surprised to find PRU-related .syscfg files. Their presence made me assume there was some level of PRU configuration available through SysConfig, which is why I tried to open and explore them. Now I understand that this is not the case.
