TMS320F28379D: 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'components' of undefined' when using .syscfg to add a GPIO target board LAUNCCXL-F28379

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, C2000WARE

I'm a newer to CCS and F28379. When I try to add a LED4 as a GPIO, when building the project, it throws:

Running script...
subdir_rules.mk:9: recipe for target 'build-1709016049' failed

And the line 17 in my system.syscfg is:

led1.$hardware  = system.deviceData.board.components.LED4;
led1.$name      = "myLED0";
led1.gpio.$name = "myGPIO0";

Hi,

Did you create new project or you are running any example from C2000Ware ?

Are you using board or have you selected a specific device part/package?

Do you have this board view in your GUI?

Yes, the panel at the right showed as this.

I imported an empty driverlib example from the C2000Ware. And add a empty .cfgsys file, then open it with the editor and do changes.

Okay did you make sure the steps here where followed?

I think your project properties were mosty likely not setup.

I tried following the link. Now the project can be built after I set the part in the properties wizard. It seems simply using the 'switch' button on the right panel to choose the part won't work, I must add the part or package in the properties also.

But I still can't build if I switch 'LaunchPad F28379D'. How the 'board' flow work, thanks?

So here is what's happening. Just so you know I have reported this to get documented and updated so users dont run into this.

What you want to do to swtich to board settings is:

1. Does your SysCFG file currently, if opened with text editor, include something like this at the top?

Obviously the info is for your device.

But does in include that when you open it with text editor?

Thanks for the link in th previous answer, and it gave me some clues. I found there are some .json files in the 'boards' folder under the C2000Ware, But it seems the path to this files are not in the search path of the CCS. I copied one to the project folder, and add the board name in the properties wizard, then the project build OK. I'm not familiar with .syscfg, and don't know if it is designed like this, But I think adding the path of these .json to the search path of CCS will be a good idea.

Thanks.

Diverger,

I completely agree with you. There are a couple of items here that I want to point out which caused your issues:

1. When you had a NON-SysConfig project, and you added a new SYSCFG file, and your project properties were not setup:

a. Your syscfg file never saves. This is a bug we had reported to the CCS team and it should be fixed. This means sysconfig would launch you would select your SW and device but the settings would never get saved in the SysCfg file.

2. When you setup the project properties for device/package/part/SDK path, now the SWITCH button wont actually switch because CCS project properties always override existing settings in the .syscfg file.

b. to enable the SWITCH button, you need to remove device/package/part info from the CCS properties. Just leave the SDK path in project properties.

3. To use the board, you have two options,

a. use step 2b and switch to a board

b. or update project properties to specify the board name: the board names are provided in "C2000Ware_4_00_00_00\boards\.meta"

The names are the files names:

Without the .syscfg.json extension so: board\LAUNCHXL_F28379D

The syscfg file after a change and a save will look like:

For device (custom board)

For LaunchXL:

Thanks for the explanations. I didn't know the board names can be combined with relative path.

You mean if I create a new project in CCS, instead of import a empty project, there will be options to enable syscfg support, and the properties wizard will be populated with correct part/board names?

Thanks.

Well you DEFINITELY want to start with a driverlib EXAMPLE project. Whether it is empty or a peripheral examples. Reason being that it has DRIVERLIB and C2000WARE dependent links automatically lined in the project.

For people that are starting with C2000Ware 4.01 most of the projects are also set up to have SysConfig enabled in the project properties.

For those who have a non-sysconfig. project that they already started they will have to follow the steps we had in this thread. I will create an appnote of this.

Have you taken a look at:

I think an empty example project combined both driverlib and sysconfig should work .

Yes so I actually just submitted an internal request to get the following:

1. empty examples with SysConfig.

2. empty examples with SysConfig preconfigured for each BOARD (launchpad/control card) we provide!
