Hi,

I want to report an error for release xdctools_3_22_01_21.

The error does not appear on release xdctools_3_20_08_88

    Hi Thorsten,

    Have you updated your XDCPATH window environment variable to point to your newer XDC installation?  The following directory needs to be in your XDCPATH: "c:/ti/xdctools_3_22_01_21/packages".

    Regards,

    Shreyas

    Thorsten, thanks for reporting the problem. I am looking into it, and there are some workarounds proposed in a related thread on XDCtools Eclipse message board. You can try them and see if they work for you.

    Hi Guys,

    thanks for the responds.

    I double checked proper XDCPATH. If wrong even the build wouldn't work. However, just the load doesn't work.

    I'll be using the _88 version of XDC for know.

     

    Thanks,

    Thorsten

    Thorsten,
    the fix for the bug you found will be available in XDCtools 3.22.03, which will be released in September.

    Still broken 3 months later, documentation buried in blogs, business as usual at TI?

    I'm coming to the TI and RTSC tools "cold" and wanted to go through the RTSC primer myself.  Having just installed CCS 5.1 and MCSDK 2.00.04, I have tripped over all of this.  The Eclipse thread does provide workarounds, but I've spent several hours finding them.  Note that this is broken with CCS 5.0.3 using the "Program Files" install root and CCS 5.1 using "C:\TI".

    If you aren't going to be able to fix XDC to support the tutorial, could you at least put a coda in the tutorial that this doesn't work out of the box with XDC xx-yy, until you can fix it?  When even the tutorials don't work, it gives a very bad sense about the robustness of the tools behind them.

     

    Regards,

    I may have been too harsh - I see there is now an XDC 3.23 release (as of mid-Nov) and maybe this is fixed there.  So I'm not going to fault the RTSC developers.  However, nowhere does the Primer/tutorial say that certain versions "don't work" and I am reluctant as a novice to depart from the version shipped with the MCSDK.  I didn't even realise there was a newer version until after  finding this blog with fixes, and I don't think I'm being thick here.  If you want people to use RTSC "as shipped" with TI kits, a few release errata would work wonders.
