TMS320F28335: DSP/BIOS upgrade and/or project migration from CCS 4.x to CCS v 12.x

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

The previous response did not help.

I got this error when building the project in CCS version 12.3.0.00005.

"This project was created using a version of DSP/BIOS tools that is not currently installed: 5.41.10.36. Please install the DSP/BIOS tools of this version, or migrate the project to one of the supported versions." 

The project was originally built on CCS version 4.2.3.00004

Now, what is the best and least risky path forward ?  To install & upgrade the BIOS to a newer version and build or migrate the project within the ccs 12.x ?  For both scenarios, I need the site to download any files (as applicable) and procedure to upgrade or migrate.  I could not find anything in the CCS menu to do so.  The "Project > Properties > DSP/BIOS version:" I only see drop-down selection for 5.41.10.36

Thanks

 

  • Have you installed DSP/BIOS 5.41.10.36? The download page is here if you need it. Then once it's installed, in CCS you can go to Window -> Preferences and then Code Composer Studio -> Products. Make sure the path where you installed BIOS is in the discovery path list and hit the Refresh button to see if CCS can find it. Check the box and hit Install.

    I'm hoping that will clear up the error, but it is possible that it is simply no longer compatible with the latest versions of CCS. We aren't really recommending BIOS for new projects anymore, so I'm hesitant to recommend migrating to a newer version. FreeRTOS is now our recommended RTOS. You can find our port of it in C2000Ware in the kernel directory if you want to check it out.
