RTOS/TM4C1231H6PM: How do I get xdc/xs to create the src/sysbios folder in a user-defined location?

Part Number: TM4C1231H6PM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

I'm working with TM4C123/9 via Code Composer 7; I have a single code base that uses TI-RTOS/NDK/Tivaware and is being used across a number of products.

I am trying to create a single Code Composer project for the code base, setting up different build configurations for each product/target.

During a build, there is a folder generated in the root project folder named src/sysbios that contains what looks object files for the TI-RTOS components.  It seems like these files need to be compiled specifically for the target.

Is there a way to get this src/sysbios folder to be generated in the folder for the build configuration where all the other compiler-generated files are found, instead of the project root folder?

I run into some time-consuming problems with the build configurations from time to time, and am not sure whether this folder being shared among different build configurations is a source of the problems.

In the project properties, under CCS Build -> XDCtools, don't see any option that would help with this. The xs command has an option for the output folder "-o", but this does not affect where the src/sysbios folder is created.

Under CCS Build -> XDCtools -> Advanced options, there are two other places which could help:  configuration script arguments (--cfgArgs) and additional compiler options (--compileOptions). Still trying to find the docs for these options, but if there are any recommendations here, they would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    You can add the following into the .cfg file

    BIOS.libDir = "myFavoriteDir";

    and the kernel objects will be directed to this directory (under the build configuration).

    Todd, thanks, this does the trick.

    Per this answer, I actually supplied the following configuration script argument (--cfgArgs) to the XDCTools advanced options so that it is not necessary to hard code the folder into  the .cfg script:

    SysbiosOutputDir="${BuildDirectory}"

    In the .cfg  script, I set BIOS.libDir as follows:

    BIOS.libDir = SysbiosOutputDir;
