The problem with the display of file DSP_BIOS.tcf

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIOHi all, I have a small but annoying problem. When I open the DSP_BIOS.tcf file in CCStudio v3.3, it was called as a text file. But I want to make it open with the help of Configuration Tool. What are the setting for this should be in CCStudio v3.3?

    You should be able to right click on the TCF file within CCS and select DSP/BIOS Config->Graphical Edit. I am not sure why the TCF does not open in gconf automatically, but this should allow you to graphically edit the configuration file.

  • When I right click on the TCF file within CCS I do not see DSP/BIOS Config or Graphical Edit. Maybe we have different versions CCS. I use CCS 3,3.

    Most likely there is a problem with the DSP/BIOS registration within the CCS Component Manager. There are a couple things you can try out to get rid of this issue.

    First, if you have not installed an updated version of BIOS yet and you are still using the default that comes with CCS 3.3 (v5.31.02) I suggest upgrading to a newer version such as v5.31.09 or v5.32.04.

    Second, if you do already have a different version of DSP/BIOS installed you could try selecting a different version within the Component Manager.

  • I use v5.31.02, tell my please where I can download new version DSP/BIOS.
  • New versions of DSP/BIOS can be downloaded from the CCS Update Advisor (Help->Update Advisor->Check for Updates within CCS). Note that this requires an active CCS subscription/service code.

  • I did not update CCS, because I am afraid incompatibility with my current projects. I reinstall CCS and the problem has disappeared. Tim thank you for helping.
  • FYI, we've intentionally decoupled the IDE from the other components such as the code generation tools and DSP/BIOS to enable you to upgrade the IDE without affecting the actual code.  You should be able to update to the latest version of CCS and install the exact same code generation tools, DSP/BIOS version, etc. to still get the exact same .out file.

  • Thanks for the information.
