RTOS/TMS320F28075: Runtime Object Viewer throws a Elf format error in ccs 7.2.0

Part Number: TMS320F28075

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

I am using CCS 7.2.0 and when I launch and connect to the target using the Runtime Object Viewer, it throws an error: 

comm=DSLite:undefined, wsPort=57668': Error: ROV only supports Elf object files

Has this issue been resolved? I see from another post on the forum that this is a known issue.

Thanks

    No. We don't plan on support COFF with Runtime Object Viewer. You can use RTOS Object Viewer (might be called ROV Classic) though.

    Thanks Todd.

    Yes, I got ROV Classic to work, which is good first step.

    Is there anyway to still use Runtime Object Viewer? Maybe converting my output binary from COFF to ELF format? If so, are there any instructions on how to work around this issue?

    What functionality is in the Runtime Object Viewer that is not in ROV Classic?

    Hi Dennis,

    SYS/BIOS is currently only available in COFF for C28 devices.

    For a data perspective, Runtime Object View is the same as RTOS Object View (ROV classic) but it has the following usability features

    - you can have multiple views open

    - you can save a "dashboard" that you can open later. The dashboard saves all the views you have open and placement.

    - you can save the data to a file that can be viewed in a text file

    - it works better with single stepping (ROV classic slows down single stepping)

    - some data can be seen in a graph view. You have the same data elsewhere in both, but it's nice to see it in a graph form.

    So bottom-line, both offer the same data, but Runtime Object View is nicer:)

    Todd

    Todd, thanks again for your speedy response. So currently there is no foreseeable plan to support SYS/BIOS for c28 devices in ELF binary format? We would love to be able to use Runtime Obj Viewer.

    There are plans for ELF support in SYS/BIOS for C28 but no firm time-frame that we can commit to.
