F29x CCS Frequently Asked Questions

How do I migrate my F28x code to my F29x device?

• Use the SysConfig + C2000 idea migration tool. Links to migration guides + idea tool app note + video series are found here:
  • C29x Device Migration Academy
• NOTE: In terms of memory mapping, the memory architecture is not compatible and different between the two devices, primarily due to the shared RAM/FLASH memory across CPU in F29x. It is recommended to use the SysConfig Memory Allocator tool to do memory allocation.

How do I resolve "Problems importing project(s): Device 'TSM320F29x' is not currently recognized

Why can’t I place a breakpoint?

• You are likely trying to place a breakpoint at an uninteruptible boundary. For example, the first possible location a breakpoint can be placed within an RTINT ISR, is the first instruction (not the "{") because the first instruction needs to be the "ISR1.PROT | ISR2.PROT" which is inserted by the compiler, not the breakpoint. 

Why does my flash or multi core example fail? Error I am seeing is 'openssl' or 'py' isn't recognized.

• Verify your Python + Open SSL installations.
• In F29x SDK project build tutorial, you can find a system variables setup.
