TMS320C6657: Request Texas Instruments help getting TMDSEVM6657LS evaluation board to run

Part Number: TMS320C6657
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C6000-CGT,

This question is a continuation of a previous thread:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1309871/tms320c6657-request-texas-instruments-help-getting-led_blink-demo-to-run-on-tmdsevm6657ls-evaluation-board/4997275#4997275

Using the guidance provided in the previous thread, I was able to resolve the CSL errors in Platform Test Example in TI-RTOS SDK.

However, I also got the 'cerrno' error you mentioned.  I followed the steps in the 'How to resolve cerrno in Platform Test Example in TI-RTOS SDK' FAQ URL but they did not resolve this error for me. Please see details below.

Here is the 'Properties for platform_test_evmc6657l' dialog box as shown in the video in the FAQ URL:

Here are the contents of the same dialog box in my setup after I followed the steps in the video. 

Here is a screen shot that shows I am still getting an error related to 'cerrno'.  The example in the FAQ URL (fatal error #5) is different from the error that I am getting (fatal error #1965).

The text of the CDT Build Console is:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project platform_test_evmc6657l ****

Please recommend next steps to move past 'cerrno' error.  Thanks.

  • Kevin,

    1. Post your screenshot of "C6000-Linker properties"--> Include options.

    2. Have you installed  " C6000-CGT - C6000 code generation tools (CGT) - compiler" from the link ?

    The first post in this thread states that I already tried out the options given in these FAQs:

    Using the guidance provided in the previous thread, I was able to resolve the CSL errors in Platform Test Example in TI-RTOS SDK.

    However, I also got the 'cerrno' error you mentioned. I followed the steps in the 'How to resolve cerrno in Platform Test Example in TI-RTOS SDK' FAQ URL but they did not resolve this error for me. Please see details below.

    I spend a lot of time trying to write up detailed descriptions of my issues to help inform your response.  Please help me by reading the descriptions provided before responding.

    I did not previously install " C6000-CGT - C6000 code generation tools (CGT) - compiler".  None of the guidance provided by TI prior to this time directed me to do that.

     I downloaded and installed the" C6000-CGT - C6000 code generation tools (CGT) - compiler".  I received no errors during the installation process. 

    Then, I tried to build 'platform_test_evm6657l' in Code Composer Studio but again got the "cerrno" error:

    Here is a screenshot of my current "C6000-Linker properties"--> Include options.  I took this screenshot after downloading and installing " C6000-CGT - C6000 code generation tools (CGT) - compiler".

    Please:

    1. Read this entire post carefully before replying.
    2. Provide recommendations for next steps.

  • Hello, The engineer (Sankari) responsible is currently out of office for next few weeks.

    Please expect 2 week delay in response.

    Thanks.

  • Can another TI support team member provide a technical response while Shankari G is away?

  • Hello Kevin,

    Please note that TMS320C6657 is one of our legacy device and we do not have may expert who know this device well. The Apps engineer (Sankari) who is expert on this is sick and will return after 2 weeks. Hope you can understand.

    Thanks.

    :- ) ..   What you posted in your first post is compiler-properties and not linker-properties.
