Problems building ipc examples using cgt on Linux

Graham Newton

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

I am trying to build some of the IPC example code using the linux compiler cl6x.

So I have set XDCPATH like so:

XDCPATH="/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/ipc_1_22_05_27/packages/;/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/sysbios_6_31_04_27/packages/;/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/xdctools_3_20_08_88/packages/"

I have edited config.bld to have the following:

var rootDirPre = "/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2/bin/";

var rootDirPost = "";

//Setup for C674 target

var C674 = xdc.useModule('ti.targets.C674');

C674.rootDir = rootDirPre + "cl6x" + rootDirPost;

C674.ccOpts.suffix += " -mi10 -mo ";

//set default platform and list of all interested platforms for c674

C674.platforms = [

"ti.sdo.ipc.examples.platforms.evmTI816X.dsp",

"ti.sdo.ipc.examples.platforms.evmDA830.dsp",

"ti.sdo.ipc.examples.platforms.evmOMAPL138.dsp",

];

C674.platform = C674.platforms[0];

I get the following errors:

warning: exec of '/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2/bin/cl6x/bin/cl6x --compiler_revision' failed:java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: /home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2/bin/cl6x/bin/cl6x: not found; check tools installation

xdc.cfg.INCOMPATIBLE_TARGET_VERSION: current target 'ti.targets.C674' [] is not compatible with targets used to build the following packages; package ti.targets.rts6000 [in /home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/xdctools_3_20_08_88/packages/ti/targets/rts6000/] was built using 'ti.targets.C674' [1,0,7.0,0]

In the first error why has /bin/cl6x been appended twice to the compiler path?

In the second error is the [1,0,7.0,0] relevant and what is it?

This is a question about XDC configuration. We compiler experts cannot help you with that. Please try http://www.eclipse.org/forums/?group=eclipse.dsdp.rtsc .

Thanks and regards,

Actually, you may find this link more useful http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/8/ .

So my company spends over $3000 on a TI evaluation board. I use the tools that came with the eval board. I follow the IPC installation guide. I modify the script provided by TI as suggested in the guide. And it doesn't work. So I ask for help and you tell me it is nothing to do with you ask Eclipse! This sort of response makes this forum a complete waste of time. I have contacted our TI rep about this.

Unfortunately, none of the experts who watch this particular forum have the expertise to help you with your problem. We didn't develop XDC. I directed you to the forum that the XDC developers watch. It so happens that forum is hosted under eclipse.org. I don't know what I could have done differently.

Thanks and regards,

I'm moving this thread to the BIOS forum. While they are not responsible for XDC, they understand it fairly well.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks for that George -- I think you are right in that this is probably a better forum for the question. I was dealing with development tools so I chose the closest catagory that I thought matched my problem. I think the issue is with the XDC script somewhere rather than xdc itself.

Graham,
'rootDir' should not contain 'bin/cl6x' part. You should only point to the actual installation directory.
C674.rootDir = "/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2";

The rest of the compiler's directory structure is constant, and the target code always assumes it's bin/cl6x.

The second error is a consequence of the problem with rootDir.

To be absolutely clear the above code needs to be changed to :

var rootDirPre = "/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2/";

var rootDirPost = "";

//Setup for C674 target

var C674 = xdc.useModule('ti.targets.C674');

C674.rootDir = rootDirPre + "" + rootDirPost;

Correct, or even better
var C674 = xdc.useModule('ti.targets.C674');
C674.rootDir = "/home/gnewton/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80/cgt6x_7_2_2/";

I see where you are coming from but this is part of the IPC config.bld script that uses multiple targets and I was aiming to make the fewest changes possible and also make it clear to others what should be changed to make it work.

Thanks for the input anyway it did make me look at the script a bit closer.
