RAM Management example not working

The original project should have a cmd linker file called "F28M35x_generic_wshared_M3_FLASH" or "F28M35x_generic_wshared_M3_RAM" based on your build configuration. 

Please make sure you have the above two files in your controlsuite folder and are linked to the project. 

Thanks

Noah

That must be what I'm missing. They are not in the controlsuite folder. I even did a fresh install of controlsuite.

EDIT:

I found them in a different folder, but they were not linked by importing the project from the controlsuite folder.

However, even after copying the file F28M35x_generic_wshared_M3_FLASH into the M3 project, the project does not build successfully. It still produces the same error:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
object files have incompatible byte orderings    RAM_management_m3             C/C++ Problem

The cmd files' original location is "..\TI\controlSUITE\device_support\f28m35x\v201\F28M35x_common\cmd" . If that is where you find them, you don't need to move them anywhere.

Can you check in your project properties if it they are properly linked ?

Right click on Project > Properties > and in the properties window look under Build > ARM linker > File Search path and see if you they are specified there. 

Thanks

Hi Noah,

In your first post, you mentioned the M3 linker files. Now, the directory you point out only has C28 linker files. In addition, it is the M3 which is having the build error. What exactly should I be looking for then?

By the way, I found the M3 files here:

C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f28m35x\v201\MWare\cmd

Thanks

I forgot to mention the M3 linker location. You have the correct location for the M3 linker files. And you should be able to build the project without without moving the M3 linker files. Check if the linker is correctly linked witihin the project. 

Thanks

Noah

Hi Noah,

Linking it doesn't eliminate the error. I've tried both just adding the folder under library search path (how does it determine which linker to use?) as well as adding the file itself under the first box, "Include library file or command file as input".

Likewise, as mentioned earlier, copying the file itself into the project doesn't work (which I imagine would be analogous to adding the paths to the configuration).

Are you testing the Flash or the RAM configuration ? 

Can you send me the original un-altered project (RAM_management folder)? On my end, the v201 controlSuite example builds. I will drop what you have and try to see what the issue is.

Thanks

Noah

Here is the folder from controlsuite. I just re-installed the new version of control suite days ago (though I've been having this problem since before that).

It build on my end. But the problem could be the original project setup was for generic ARM device and not concerto specifically. I have attached the project properties where I changed the setting specifically to concerto and specifically for F28M35H52C (you also can change it on your end). Let me know if the folder I attached builds.

Thanks

I did change it to F28M35H52C after importing the project.

Weird, when I import your project, I cannot open the source file. It gives me a blank page with the error message:

"Error retrieving content description for resource '/RAM_management_m3/RAM_management_m3.c'"

When I try to build, I get the following three errors:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
gmake: *** No rule to make target `C:/Users/mikehe/ti/F28M35x_examples_Dual/RAM_management/m3/RAM_management_m3.c', needed by `RAM_management_m3.obj'.    RAM_management_m3        Unknown    C/C++ Problem

The other two errors are the same, except for "startup_ccs.c" and "driverlib.lib"

Can you try updating your CCS? I am currently using the latest CCS version.

Thanks

Noah

I updated, and I still can't open your files. Same error as before.

Mike

The problem could be with your machine, as I was able to import and build the folders you gave me without changing them. If you can use webex, we can try to debug it. 

Thanks

Noah

I just signed up for webex, how do we set up the meeting?

Thanks

Send me your email.

Thanks
