TMS320F28379D: FreeRTOS Example loading on LaunchPad

Rashmitha Ramesh Nair said:

For example when using dual core one project is loaded on CPU1 and other on CPU2, how does the loading with FreeRTOS work?)

These examples are for F2838x where one of the core is cortex M4 referred to as CM. For F2837xd, C28x based example can be ported to F2837xd.

Could you please confirm if this is where the support package needs to be placed? Within the FreeRTOSv202112.00 folder:

Even with this folder structure, I still get the error for FreeRTOS.h file missing as below:

Thanks Vasudha, I am able to build the project now without any errors.

However, when I load and run the code, I get stuck in a while loop shown below

I see in properties that the device this project is configured for is different from mine:

But even if I change my .ccxml file to my device F28379D, variant and core in project properties doesnt change. 

Question:

What all are the changes to be made to run this DEMO on LaunchPad F28379D?

Rashmitha

I understand that SysConfig options need to be changed, could you help me with the appropriate settings from below

Thanks,

Rashmitha

Hi,

The project needs to be ported to F2837xd and the Launchpad specific LEDs/ GPIOs needs to be configured for the project to work on Launchpad. You can start by updating the .projectspec file. Refer to f2837xd specifc projectspec files avl in C2000Ware for reference.

Thanks

Hi Vasudha,

I can only find a driverlib.projectspec file inside my workspace folder where I have imported led_ex1_blinky_rtos. Is this the file that needs to be edited?

If no, then could you please help me with the file location? and specific parameters that needs to be changed?

I found this file too, I created another folder for my board

I edited the file, PFA the file contents

But when I try to import from this folder, CCS does not detect the project for F2837xD

Could you please check if there is something missing in the file because of which CCS doesn't detect? I tried restarting CCS, that doesn't help.

Hi,

Could you please check what is wrong in the .projectspec file because of which CCS is unable to detect it?

Regards,

Rashmitha

Hi Rashmitha,

Can you double check the syntax on the projectspec file? I'm wondering if there's some error in the file that's causing CCS to ignore it. The quotation marks in the compiler options look a little odd to me--I don't think you need the " after '--diag_suppress=10063'
