AM6421: Error regarding makefile build

Hi Frank,

The error indicates that it was not able to find C:/ti/ccs1100/ccs/utils/cygwin/mkdir.

Can you cross check if this path (C:/ti/ccs1100/ccs/utils/cygwin/mkdir) exists.

Which is the ccs version installed?

Regards

Hi Rajat,

the CSS version is 11.2.0. I have changed the default path to C:\Tools\ti\ccs112\... and that is also available in the PATH environment variable. But it seems that the default path is used. How can I change / adapt this path?

BR

Frank

Hi Frank,

You can change the ccs path in imports.mak available in the MCU+SDK install directory.

Regards
 

Hi Rajat,

I have updated the imports.mak file and the build has been started! There is later in the build a fail:

I my ti folder there is no folder "gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major-win32/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc". Do I need to install the GCC ARM eabi manually? Is there a description in your document? I haven't found it.

In comparison to the CSS IDE the build cammand is like this and without eabi:

Hi Frank,

If you want the libraries to be built using Arm gcc compiler then yes you need to install it as mentioned in getting Started -> Download, Install and Setup SDK and Tools in the AM64x manual https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AAItjAZOtq4dV64ZMMvr3g__rN4Qml4__LATEST.

However if you are going to use only ti ARM clang compiler you don't need to install it .
You can use gmake -s -f makefile.am64x <lib>.ti-arm-clang PROFILE=debug to build a specific library for ti arm clang compiler.

Example to build freeRTOS library you will use:-

gmake -s -f makefile.am64x freertos_r5f.ti-arm-clang PROFILE=debug

You can refer to file makefile.am64x at the root sdk directory for more details.

Regards

Hi Rajat,

great, that is what I exactly need! I had a look into the makefile.am64x because I want build all. I tried out like described in the file and there is still an error:

C:\Tools\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_01_00_36>gmake -s -f makefile.am64x all

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

The above command use eabi again indead of the similar command of you "gmake -s -f makefile.am64x freertos_r5f.ti-arm-clang PROFILE=release" that works also on my side.

Do you have an idea?

BR

Frank

Hi Frank,

In order to build the complete SDK without installing gcc ARM eabi compiler you need to take out all the build steps from the makefile that use gcc RAM eabi compiler.

I have modified the makefile for your reference.
makefile.am64x

You can replace the makefile.am64x in MCU+ SDK with this one and then you can run gmake -s all PROFILE=release

Let me know if this helps.

Regards

Hi Rajat, 

thank you for you update! The build starts but after building "board.am64x.r5f.ti-arm-clang.release.lib" the build for "C:/Tools/ti/gcc-arm-none-eab..." is started and failed! I use mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_02_00_31 (fresh checked out). There is changed the updated file "makefile.am64x" from you and updated file "imports.mak" because of newer CSS version:

- CCS_PATH?=$(TOOLS_PATH)/ccs1120/ccs

- CGT_TI_ARM_CLANG_PATH=$(TOOLS_PATH)/ti-cgt-armllvm_1.3.1.LTS

- SYSCFG_PATH ?= $(TOOLS_PATH)/sysconfig_1.12.0

Maybe if you can reproduce it at your side you can see the error as well.

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank,

I tested this at my end.
Looking at the log looks like you are still executing the old makefile.

Can you cross check that you have replaced the makefile in the sdk with the one I supplied.

A good way to crosscheck is to look at line 293 and check if it is :- 

BUILD_COMBO_board = board_r5f.ti-arm-clang board_m4f.ti-arm-clang board_a53.gcc-aarch64

Regards

Hi Rajat,

the line in the makefile.am64 is available but different from the content:

# Various Component Targets
BUILD_COMBO_board = board_r5f.ti-arm-clang board_r5f.gcc-armv7 board_m4f.ti-arm-clang board_a53.gcc-aarch64

Shall I remove the other targets like armv7 aso?

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank,

Yes you need to remove all the targets with .gcc-armv7.

I have already done this for you in the makefile I attached in the previous replies.
Reattaching the file for convinience

3666.makefile.am64x

Regards

Hi Rajat,

I overtook this issue from Frank. I was able to solve the problem by adapting the paths in imports.mak and installing the compilers manually into the specified directory. The build with makefile is now successful. Thank you very much for your support.

Kind regards
