TMS320F280049C: Proper way to refer to TI libraries

Part Number: TMS320F280049C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

I'm using a the VCU library c28x_vcu0_library_fpu32.lib

I've set this up as per instructions:

In Project Properties / Build / C2000 Linker / File Search Path I refer to $(VCU2_ROOT_DIR}/lib

and in Project Properties / Build / Variable I have set up

VCU2_ROOT_DIR to the correct *absolute* path.

That works but causes friction through versio control because the absolute path is not the same on my co-workers machine.

As C2000 ware is installed using TI tools I suppose the tools set up some variable I could use to refer to TI libraries and thus the variable would be correct regardless of absolute install location.

Is there a way to do that?

    Hi,

    Can you check what your co-workers did when they installed ? what is the  "the absolute path" you are referring to ? Also which version of C2KWARE you are using ? 

    Thanks

    They used the resource expoler whereas I installed it manually.

    Their path is:

    C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_MotorControl_SDK_3_00_01_00\c2000ware\libraries\dsp\VCU\c28"

    and my path is:

    /Applications/ti/c2000/C2000Ware_MotorControl_SDK_3_00_01_00/c2000ware/libraries/dsp/VCU/c28

    Thanks. I will check this with SDK team and see if they have a way to solve this.

    Thanks

    When you add something in the Product tab in your CCS project properties, it seems to create a variable for that product. So for example, I added the MotorControl SDK product to a project:

    And it added a variable "COM_TI_MOTOR_CONTROL_C2000WARE_SDK_SOFTWARE_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIR" that I could use for setting up paths to things inside of the SDK. I haven't tried taking my project and importing it to another machine, but since it's using CCS's knowledge of where things are installed, I expect it to adjust to the local paths. See if that works for you?

    You can do this in projectspec too by adding a line:

    <property name="products" value="motor_control_c2000ware_sdk_software_package"/>

    Thanks,

    that pointed me to the right direction.

    For posterity I added a variable as illustrated in the attached screenshot and I noticed that simply installing TI 'Product' in CCS is not enough to add the variables/symbols to your project. You will also need to 'Add' the product to the project. Seems self evident in retrospect so but so was the discovery of the Americas.
