TMS320F28P550SJ: CCS compile error "Invalid argument '-s': File "C:\.metadata\sdk.json" does not exist " after importing the same project

Hi Ryan,

Thank you so much for your detailed elaborations!

I followed your advice and installed latest CCS20.2, but after importing the same project, the compilation failed with another bunch of errors such as:

==========

So I guess I have to go back to CCS12.7 which I succeeded before. Would you mind providing some SCREEN CAPTURES to guide me through the steps needed to fix the problem?  For example, I don't know how to "Go to Dependencies"...  your help is really appreciated!

Below are screen captures of some of my settings:

I guess some variables are not set correctly?

Thanks,

Quentin

Of course, the settings are my "new CCS 12.7" settings.  I guess some variables are not set correctly?

also I am not familiar with CCS20.2; not sure how to use it; it seems very different than CCS 12.7; 

Hi Ryan,

Do you think some of my variables are incorrectly set? I followed your advice below:

=======

You should see the SysConfig options. Make sure the sdk.json path includes the full C2000Ware path by:

1. Using the absolute path to your C2000Ware installation:   "C:/ti/c2000/C2000Ware_5_02_00_00/.metadata/sdk.json"

=====

but then the comilation failed with errors like below:

Hi Quentin,

There seems to be an issue with opening the "inc/hw_memmap.h" file. Can you make sure that your include options are correct? Can you provide a screenshot of what your include options are in the compiler settings?

Hi Ryan,

Please see below which is the "include options" of my "new CCS 12.7" -- it fails in compiling:

As comparison, Please see below which is the "include options" of my "old CCS 12.7" -- it compiles fine:

They seem to be the same.

===========

I just hope to achieve a simple goas described below:

1. I have a CCS 12.7 project saved at local directory " C:\Users\Xiaoquan\Documents\JX_CCS_git\JX_QS2_CCS127gitRepository\QS2".  Everything works fine. 
2. On the same computer, launch a new CCS 12.7 and choose a new different workspace, then import  the project above, and make sure it compiles fine.

What is the best way to achieve this simple goal?

Thanks,

Quentin

Hi Quentin,

The variables should have been carried over. There may be some bug in 12.7 that didn't allow for this.

The best way in my opinion for this goal is to update your CCS and try to re do the steps you outlined.

Ryan Ma said:

I have verified your same steps using the latest CCS and I do not see this issue, you can also try upgrading your CCS to the new CCS20.2.

Otherwise, you will have to go through and double check if your include options are being generated properly. Can you double check the products tab? Also, make sure the C2000 Compiler view, the summary of flags being set makes sense for your working directory. 

Hi Ryan,

As explained earlier, I upgraded to latest CCS20.2 but still hit a bunch of compile errors. Julia Li, TI FAE, also suggested me to stcik with CCS12.7. 

Below are screen captures of my product tab and C2000 Compiler view:

Did you see any problem? Could you advise how to fix so that it can compile?

Thanks,

Quentin

Hi Quentin,

One of the include paths seems to be incorrect which is the "/driverlib/f28p55x/driverlib". Looks like it's missing the absolute path to your c2000ware. Can you update this?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for this. Please see below:

1. Could you advise how to fix the "driverlib missing the absolute path to  c2000ware" issue? Please see my screen captures below which seem to be ok:

2. You mentioned below earlier:

==========

1. In the new workspace, the path is incorrectly set to just:
   1. /.metadata/sdk.json
2. To fix this issue, you need to:
   1. Right-click on your project and select Properties
   2. Go to Dependencies 
      1. Ensure you have C2000WARE as a product dependency in your new project
      2. If you do, and you still get an error follow these next steps (c.)

==========

Would you mind providing a screen capture to show how to "Go to Dependencies"? I am unable to find "Dependencies" from mine as shown below:

Hi Quentin,

The ${COM_TI_C2000WARE_SOFTWARE_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIR} is not defined. Can you try changing the name of the COM_TI_C2000WARE_INSTALL_DIR to be COM_TI_C2000WARE_SOFTWARE_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIR instead.

Apologize this is for CCS20.2 or newer. For CCS12.8 or older, you can just go to General -> Products
