TMS570LS1227: Is my HalcoGen install corrupted?

Part Number: TMS570LS1227
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN,

Hello!

I have downloaded HalcoGen 4.06 and tried to generate some driver code for a TMS570LS1227, but when I create a new project for that (ZWT) I see all the boxes slightly off where they should be. I can't click around very deep into them before I experience a crash. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice now. I am running windows 10, 64bit.

If I am making an obvious error, please help me see it. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Andrew,

    In windows display setting, change the size of text, apps to 100%.

    Regards,

    That fixed the display offset issue! Unfortunately I'm still crashing whenever I try to enter a submenu through a button on the general tab. If I use the tabs to navigate, I can enter menus without a crash.

    On the general tab on an opened project:
    Currently the Interrupts, Flash, VIM, RAM, 2x Cortex-R4F buttons cause a crash.

    The PBIST, DMA, PCR buttons are unresponsive.

    A TMS470MF066 ( I picked another project type at random) project seems to work fine. A TMS570LC435ZWT project experiences crashes as well. If I try to open a test project that has crashed there is a high likely hood it errors out with "Error- Trouble with 'device' setting". I am unsure why one of my projects will open fine even though it has crashed.

    For sanity's sake I will uninstall, download a fresh installer, restart, reinstall, restart, and try again.

    No dice after reinstall. Trying to reopen a new project that failed still errors out in "Error- Trouble with 'device' Setting."

    I've read around that the xml files are used for configuration? Could someone look at mine?7024.TMS570LS1227PGE.xml

    I've confirmed that I can navigate to most submenus via the tab interface, but I'm not certain that I can get to every button this way. For example, I can't seem to find a tab for the DMA configuration. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Andrew,

    Unfortunately, DMA is not supported through Halcogen. It is only supported via an example under the help menu. This is also true for Ethernet, USB and FlexRay when those peripherals are available on a device.

    Hi Andrew,

    We decided not to support DMA through GUI simple because of so many combinations and this might crash the GUI sometimes ( HALCoGen GUI has some cap on the configuration options).

    After many customer use cases, we figured out it is better to have DMA as stand alone driver with no GUI, just let customers do the configurations. The Sample DMA code can be found in the example folder.

    Let us know if you find difficulty in making DMA work.
