CCS/TMS320F280049: The variables type reduced by half when i have linked the .out file in ASAP2 Editor to generate an A2L file

Part Number: TMS320F280049

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, I am currently using F280049 for development, I need to use INCA for calibration,so i am trying to generate an A2L file by using  "ASAP2 Editor" which is from VECTOR. When I load .out files which was generated by CCS, the types of all variables that can be added to "ASAP2 Editor" are reduced by half compared to the real type in the code. For example, a variable defined as uint16 in the code is displayed as uint8 in the ASAP2 Editor, and the 32-bit display is 16 bits.In other words, the 32-bit variable is recognized as 16 bits. When loading the .out file in the tool, the format chosen is COFF/DWARF. Is this problem related to the minimum storage of 16 bits in an address of the C28X CPU? It is garbled when the .OUT file is opened in txt, is there any tools to open .out correctly?

  • We are not familiar with the INCA tool. For INCA support, you need to contact the tool developer directly (I presume it is ETAS). Sorry we are unable to help further on this.

    Using the HEX2000 tool, you can convert the COFF file to different formats and then use any ASCII editor to peruse the contents.
