MSP432P4111: Compile time code selection in Sysbios .cfg file using #define

Julian Kolodko

Part Number: MSP432P4111

G'Day all,

Is there a way have different code compiled into a projects' .cfg file using #defines.

In my particular case, for debug builds I'd like to use standard SysMin.outputFxn function so that System_printf() goes through the debugger, but for release builds I'd like to buffer System_printf() data for later retrieval. I'd like to do something along the lines of

#ifndef DEBUG

SysMin.outputFxn = "&my_outputFxn";

#endif

Is this possible?

Cheers

Hi Julian,

I think it is possible. Does it not work somehow?

Best regards,

No, if I put #ifdef into the .cfg file, I get an "illegal character" error when I try to build.

Does using Predefined symbols in .cfg file help?

While that is an old thread from 2012, I was referenced as a potential solution from the thread RTOS: Sysbios configuration conditional declaration last year.

G'Day Chester,

It's not exactly what I wanted, but I was able to make it work for me.

Thank you

In my.cfg file I added

Program.global.SYSMIN_VIA_DEBUGGER = 1;

if (Program.global.SYSMIN_VIA_DEBUGGER == 0) SysMin.outputFxn = "&sysmin_outputHandler";

Then in my C code I added

#include <xdc/cfg/global.h>

#if (SYSMIN_VIA_DEBUGGER == 0)
# warning "sysmin output routed to internal buffer."
#endif
