C6flo version question

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I have a question about C6flo. (see below)

OS: 32bit Vista

CCS v3.3; OMAP L137;

I have updated my software by installing the new ones:

BIOS 5.41.10.36; C6flo 1.03; code generation 6.1.19; XDC 3.20.08.88

I thought with the new updates I can generate a code with c6flo, but it gave me the error:

[App Writer] (15:46:56.580): Application write failed!  Encountered exception:
    Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03\c6_app_writer_log.txt' is denied.

 I guess this is caused by an old software version.

So I uninstalled all of the old software (like BIOS 5.3, XDC 3.10) and added in Control Panel>System Properties > Advanced>Environment the Variables:

Changed the directory to the new installation directory (always used the default folders):

BIOS_INSTALL_DIR
C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36
C6FROOT
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03
CGTROOT
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.9

Added:

XDCPATH
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03\Blocks
XDCROOT
C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36

In the end I tested running C6flo in Vista with Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode (no changes)

and set run as administrator, which gave me the log:

 C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03\c6_app_writer.exe -ini="C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03\Temp\last_app.ini" -c6flo="C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03" -app="C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6Flo_1.03\Examples\C6747AudioFilter" -xdc="C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36" -cgt="C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.9" -v

    The system cannot find the file specified
[App Writer] (15:48:09.457): Closed after 0,10 seconds.

 

When I open CCS 3.3 and look up the "about" it tells me "Code Generation Tools v6.1.5", but when I open the Component Manager>Build Tools>C67xx>the mark for C6000 Code Gen Tool is set for v6.1.9

It is also weird when I open DSP/BIOS Graphical Configuration Tool it says in the "about" v5.00 even though 5.41 is installed.

What do I need to change/update to be able to generate code with C6flo?

Thank you very much for you answers

 

  • Lee,

    It looks like you have set your XDCROOT environment variable to the installation path of DSP/BIOS, not the XDC tools.  Try setting the XDCROOT variable to point to your XDC tools installation folder (probably something like C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/xdctools_3_20_xx_xx).  Hopefully that will solve your problem.

    Also, you may be interested to know that C6Flo version 2 has entered beta testing.  This new version should work better with Windows Vista/7 and handle most of the dependencies (with DSP/BIOS, the XDC Tools, etc.) automatically.  If you're interested in trying the beta, you can find more information here:

  • Thanks for your support.

    It works now.
