CCS/TMS320F28377S: CCS/TMS320F28377S

Hi Vadim,

From where did you import this example?

Hi Gautam,
Originally it was from controlSUITE. But I normally do copy and paste of my projects (that originally were imported) to avoid links to the imported files instead of the files themselves. First time to replace the links, I manually copied all relevant files to my project directory and deleted the links.
Thanks vadim

Thanks Lori,

The paths are different for flash and ram. If I put a pointer near a directory I can see the entire path and they are different. There is as well an exclamation signs in path variables. i attached all three screens. How can I select the right locations of those two directories.

thanks vadim

Vadim,

I've asked one of our SW engineers to look into this and get back with you.

Thanks Lori,
I created a new “main” project and imported all the files from the project in question. I set paths
"C:\ti\C2000Ware_1_00_02_00_Software\device_support\f2837xs\headers\include"
"C:\ti\C2000Ware_1_00_02_00_Software\device_support\f2837xs\common\include"
I added 28377S_RAM_lnk.cmd in linker command window.
I was able to build the project but with a lot of #10247-D warnings like
warning #10247-D: creating output section "EmuBModeVar" without a SECTIONS specification
warning #10247-D: creating output section "EmuBootPinsVar" without a SECTIONS specification
warning #10247-D: creating output section "RomWaitStateRegsFile" without a SECTIONS specification
warning #10247-D: creating output section "FlashPumpSemaphoreRegsFile" without a SECTIONS specification
I have the same warnings when I use 28377S_FLASH_lnk.cmd file.
In addition, when I import a project file, in General Properties window I have the following configurations: CPU1_RAM and CPU1_FLASH
When I create a new project I have Debug and Release configurations. When I tried release configuration with 28377S_FLASH_lnk.cmd it generated errors, even though it works for debug configuration.
fatal error #1965: cannot open source file "F2837xS_device.h"
How do I create CPU1_RAM, CPU1_FLASH configuration? How do I address warning in debug and fix release flash configurations?
thanks vadim

Hi Vadim,

Can you verify you've added F2837xS_Headers_nonBIOS.cmd? This linker command file specifies those sections. It's found in C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_1_00_02_00\device_support\f2837xs\headers\cmd

To add build configurations, go to Properties->General and select Manage Configurations. You can refer to this wiki: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Project_Build_Configurations

Hi Elizabeth,
I added F28377xSHeaders_nonBIOS file via project/add file. I selected into linker command window 28378S_FlASH_link.cmd file . In this case there are no warnings. In all other combinations ( one is added via "add file" another placed into linker window) of those two files there are errors. Do I have to have two cmd files? I have not noticed two cmd files in any TI example
“To add build configurations, go to Properties->General and select Manage Configurations. You can refer to this wiki: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Project_Build_Configurations”
I visited this page and checked the movie as well red linker primer on wiki page. It did not answer my questions about creating configurations similar to those in all TI examples.
1 In the video there only two configurations: release and debug that are being copied from existing cofiguration, no explanation of other options. I tried all other options but they are not enabled. For example how do I create a new configuration by default, import from project or import from predifined? Is there a document describing how to do it?
2 all TI examples have either CPU1_RAM or CPU1_FLASH configurations and not a release or debug. Those examples have linker window empty but in C2000linker include files window those two files are being used: "2837xS_Generic_RAM_lnk.cmd" and "2837xS_Generic_FLASH_lnk.cmd". And those files are replaced automatically when the build is switched from ram to flash. Yoy do not have to input any cmd file.How is it done?
Thanks vadim

Hi Elizabeth,
The manual recommends "Before you read this manual, you may use the Code Composer Studio online tutorial and the DSP/BIOS
section of the online help to get an overview of DSP/BIOS". I could not find this section in help. There is a link to "DSP knowledge base" but when I click I have this "To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame. “I am using CCS v7. Could you please provide a link to the overview of DSP/BIOS?
thanks vadim

Hi Vadim,

It could be because DSP/BIOS is the older version and the current version is called SYS/BIOS.
This is likely a better resource than what I shared before: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Category:SYSBIOS
