TMS320C6424: Compilation errors on s62 when upgrading to compiler tools v8

Part Number: TMS320C6424

I want to upgrade my project from compiler tools v6 to v8. The project includes DSP/Bios v5.42.

When compiling I get many errors on s62 file generated by XDCTools (v3.50), like "Invalid constant specification".

Does it mean that there is an incompatibility between compiler tools v8 and DSP/Bios v5.42 and/or XDCTools v3.50 ?

Should I upgrade to DSP/Bios v6 ?

Hello Pascal,

Please note that we have no design support on this part as per the product page. That means our team no longer has expertise on this part, or the software that it uses:

I am not sure whether the DSP / Bios releases beyond v5.42 support C64x devices. You should be able to check the release notes > device support for the DSP / BIOS release to see supported processors. v5.42 can be downloaded here: https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/dspbios/5_42_02_10/index_FDS.html
