TMS320F28377D: linkinfo.xml

Hi Dave,

I copied a project to modify it for a new application. I have CCS 11.0.0.00012  . One of the problems was that it could not open the linkinfo.xml file although it was located in the CPU1_Flash folder.

Did you give the copied project a different name than the original (If you did a copy&paste via the Project Explorer view, then I assume you did)? If so, then the existing linkInfo.xml would need to be renamed to account for the new project name. The format of that xml file is: <project name>_linkInfo.xml. The project name part of the xml filename must match the name of the project it is contained in for certain things to work (like the Memory Allocation view).

Thanks

Thanks Ki,

Yes the file name has the project name. It does work when placed in the project root folder (was originally in the CPU1_Flash folder). If I move it from the CPU1_Flash folder to the project root folder (i.e. delete it from the CPU1_Flash folder), it compiles OK but then the Memory Allocation View could not find it.

In other projects the linkinfo.xml file is in the CPU1_Flash folder only and everything works ok, so I'm guessing there is a path setting that didn't get set properly when the project was copied. I did a project copy/paste in TI CCS (did not use file explorer), have done that successfully with other projects so this is a little puzzling.

That is indeed puzzling. Can you share your project? I think I just need the project folder with the three .*project files in it and also the *.out file and linkinfo xml file. You can start a private E2E conversationw ith me if you wish to share privately.
