Hey Nirdhesh,

I am not sure I understand your statement:

"i found  two device.c file in my project in that one is manual in project and another one is sysconfig generated and which is the one manual is giving the error when i execluded the device.c and tried im getting without error."

Which is working and which is not?

Can you share both here for reference?

Best Regards,

Zackary Fleenor

Hay Zackary Fleenor,
                                    thanks for your response and below i added the facing issue as a reference u can use this for better understanding please have a look at it.

Hi Nirdhesh,

Your build log makes the problem very clear. Let me answer both of your questions directly.

1. Why does the project have two device.c files?

When you imported the empty driverlib project from C2000Ware, it came with a manual device.c file in the device/ folder — this is the standard device initialization file included with the project template [1]. Then, when you added SysConfig (.syscfg) and configured your GPIO, SysConfig auto-generated its own device.c in the syscfg/ folder [2]. Both files define the same functions (Device_init, Device_initGPIO, Device_enableAllPeripherals, etc.), so you end up with two competing copies.

The same duplication is happening with f28p65x_codestartbranch.asm — your build log shows it being compiled from both ../device/ and from the C2000Ware device_support path, causing the code_start symbol redefinition.

2. Why are you getting these errors?

Every linker error you're seeing is error #10056: symbol redefined — the linker finds the same function defined in both ./syscfg/device.obj and ./device/device.obj and cannot resolve which one to use [3]. The codestart section placement error (#10099) is a downstream consequence of having two code_start entry points.

The Fix

Exclude the manual files from the build. Specifically, right-click and exclude from build:

Keep the SysConfig-generated versions in the syscfg/ folder — these are designed to work with your .syscfg configuration and will stay in sync as you modify peripherals in SysConfig [2].

You already confirmed this approach works ("when I excluded the device.c and tried I'm getting without error"), so you're on the right track. Just make sure you also exclude the duplicate f28p65x_codestartbranch.asm from the device/ folder to eliminate the code_start redefinition as well.

The remaining warning (#190-D: enumerated type mixed with another type on syscfg/device.c line 123) is non-critical and won't prevent a successful build.

A Note on the Thread Title

The thread title mentions "program not retained after power cycle." Your current build configuration is CPU1_RAM, which loads code into volatile RAM — it will not survive a power cycle by design. If you need the program to persist, you'll need to switch to a flash-based build configuration (CPU1_FLASH) and ensure boot mode pins are configured for flash boot [3].

To help refine this further, it would be useful to know:

• Whether you have any custom modifications in the manual device/device.c that need to be preserved or migrated into your SysConfig configuration
• Whether you imported this project from the C2000Ware empty project template directly, or followed a specific tutorial that may have included both files intentionally
• Whether you intend to run from flash (for power-cycle retention) or RAM (debug only)
