SYS/BIOS Custom Platform not found

I created a custom platform with in CCS4 with File->New->New RTSC Platform.

when I finished it told me that the process was complete. I also see the files in the folder where I stored the Platform. Yet I can not choose my new platform when creating a new SYS/BIOS Empty Example. There are still only the platforms provided by CCS4.

I chose a platform and tried to change it when the project was created via Properties->XDCtools->Basic Options but all fields are greyed out.

What did I forget to do?

  • Hi Stefan,

    You have to add the repository containing your custom platform  to your project's package path.

    There are two ways to do it.

    (A) Check the box labeled Add Repository to Project Package Path in the first page of the new  platform wizard. This will popup a dialog that will prompt you to select the project whose package path you want to change. 

     

     

    (B)   Right click on your project in the C/C++ projects view. Then select Build Properties. In the dialog select  CCS Build on the left side and then the  RTSC tab on the right side of the dialog.

    Click on the button labeled  Add to add the repository containing your platform to your project. 

     

     

    Once your repository is added to your project's package path, you can click on the combo box labeled RTSC Platform . The wizard will search the repository and show the platforms in the combo box. Take a look at http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Demo_of_the_RTSC_Platform_Wizard_in_CCSv4 for more details on using the platform wizard.
