[C6713] Specify GEL file for a project

Up to now I was using the default GEL file for my board (DSK6713.gel). Now I have to make some modifications to the GEL file (different memory mapping) and I'm wondering if it is possible to specify a GEL file for my project that "overwrites" the default one.

Of course I could add a new configuration to the system setup with a different GEL file. But this is not so nice because the modifications are project specific.

Thanks for your help!

    You can specifiy GEL file in CCS Setup utiliity.

    Thanks for your answer.

    I know that it is possible in the setup utility. But my questions was if it is possible to specify the GEL file on a per project basis (e.g. in the build options) since the modifications are project-specific.

    There may be a couple of ways.  The first I know will work, the second might but I have not tested it.

    1) There is a method for exporting a CCS configuration from the cc_setup utility.  If you specifiy an alternate GEL file in the cc_setup utility and then export this configuration to your own "board", or project/board combo, you can then relatively quickly make the appropriate changes.  There are ways to invoke CCS with a different configuration file (via the command line in the Windows properties tab, if you right-click on the icon).  This in essense runs the cc_setup utility, reconfigures, saves, exits and invokes CCS.

    2) You can include other GEL files within the top level GEL file.  If you modified the default GEL file (or better yet, create your own top level GEL file) to then read in other GEL files, it may be possible to specify the other GEL files which have a path which is relative to your project directory.  Obviously, you would need to maintain consistency in the naming of these sub-level GEL files, but they can be unique per project.

    Again, #2 is not tested regarding opening GEL files with a path relative to the project directory.  I do know that you can read in subsequent GEL files within a top level one.
