GenCodecPkg does not find my algorithm created with GenAlg

As title, when using the GenCodecPkg wizard in CCS 4.2.3 it does not find the algorithm properly. Here's what I do.

1. Create algorithm using GenAlg with default settings except for the format which is set to C674x ELF.

2. Import created CCS project into CCS and build it.

3. Close the built project.

4. Run GenCodecPkg and select the .genalg file created by GenAlg.

5. Fail.

At the last step the wizard does not let me continue onto the next screen as apparently it can't find the algorithm built in step 2.

Here is a screenshot where the wizard stops behaving:

Can someone help?

Thanks,

Ralph

P.S.

Here is a pic of my installed tools:

Hi Ralph,

In GenCodecPkg, try clicking the "..." button after the "Cannot find..." error message. When the dialog box comes up, select the directory that your genalg package is in. This would be <destination directory used in genalg>/mycompany/mymodule.

Hi Joe,

sorry I should have said that I've already tried that amongst several other paths. In my case, I saved the algorithm to "My Documents\workspace_ccs4". I then specified this same path in GenCodecPkg.

Ralph,

Did you build the mycompany.mymodule package?

Ralph,

I see that you did build it. I'd like to look at your mycompany.mymodule package and .genalg fie. Can you zip the mycompany.mymodule package and the .genalg file and post them?

Hi Joe,

thanks for following up. I attach my project as created by GenAlg using the XDAIS in the screenshot above, then built using CCS 4.2.3 (latest CCS 4). The .genalg is included too.

Ralph,

I'd like to analyze this problem to see if there is a bug. I do want let you know, though, that you can create an XDAIS algorithm and a codec package all from within GenCodecPkg, if you select the third option "I want to create an algorithm from scratch..." in the GenCodecPkg start up pane.

Hi Joe,

I understand this and am not one to take the difficult approach to solve a problem but I have read that GenAlg-created algorithms/projects have no binding to Codec Engine whereas those built in GenCodecPkg do. I am trying to avoid links with Codec Engine for my algorithm if I can.

In the meantime I will try out the wizards on Linux to see if I can build a codec server there.

Thanks,
Ralph

Ralph,

This is a bug when running GenCodecPkg inside of Code Composer. I've attached the fix. Copy this file to <codec engine installdir>/packages/ti/sdo/ce/wizards/gencodecpkg. I've filed the incident report: SDOCM-- IncidentReport SDOCM00081569

The fix will be available in the next Codec Engine release.

This seems to work now. Thanks for fixing this so quickly. I'd like to point out that I don't have access to the incident report. I assume it is for internal use?
