Missing platform data in XDCTools 3.21.0.46

Bob Davenport

I'm developing a DSP BIOS 5.4x application that is based on ti.platforms.evm3530. I recently did a general update on the tools that included updating to XDCTools 3.21.0.46.

Since the update, I get a build error implying that the compiler can't read the first line of the .tcf file, which is a reference to ti.platforms.evm3530. When I try to open the tconf file, I receive the following: Error: Can't find Platform.tc[ip] file for 'ti.platforms.evm3530'

I examined the directory C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\xdctools_3_21_00_46_eng\packages\xdc\platform\package and it appears to only contain MSP430 platform data. I tried repplacing XDCTools with an earlier version by selecting Help->Software updates->Manage Configuration ,but the tool didn't offer any replacement options or updates.

How do I install the rest of the platform data in XDCTools 3.21.00.46 or roll it back to an earlier version?

Thanks'

Bob,
do you have the directory C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\xdctools_3_21_00_46_eng\packages\ti\platforms\evm3530. If yes, what's in there?

Sasha,

the evm3530 sub-directory is missing. All that I ihave are MSP430 subdirectories, including exp430F5438, exp430F5539, ez430_chronos, ez430_rf2500, generic, msp430, and ts430F5529. All of the earlier XDCTool version subdirectories include the evm's, sdk's and simulators for the entire range of TI DSPs, MSP430 , SOC and ARM devices.

When i performed the last update, I also installed 'Grace' which is an MSP430 tool. Could this be the reason that only the MSP430 platforms installed? Is there a web-site where I can manually download the latest XDC tools and attempt to re-install 3.21.00.46 (or later?)

Thanks

Bob

Bob,
3.21.00.46 release was targeted for Grace, so it's possible that non-MSP430 platforms were deleted during upgrade. You can install 3.22 from http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/rtsc/index.html, which would give you all TI platforms.
