DSP/BIOS for EVM5515

 

I am going through the tutorials trying to create a new project for the EVM5515 evaluation board.  

The project I will be creating will utilize DSP/BIOS so I added it to the project and I discovered I had to update the copy of xdctools to include the EVM5515 package.  

Now I get the  errors below when I run the “DSP/BIOS v5.xx Configuration File” from the File menu.

js: "C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/xdctools_3_22_02_27/include/utils.tci", line 962: Error: Can't load platform definition 'ti.platforms.evm5515': Error: Can't load 'ti/bios/config/bios_5515.tci': Error: Can't find import file: 'ti/bios/config/bios_5515.tci' (not found along 'C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\xdctools_3_22_02_27\packages\ti\platforms\evm5515/;;C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/workspace/232229-001 (2681 FTIC);C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/bios_5_41_02_14/packages;C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/xdctools_3_22_02_27/include;C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/xdctools_3_22_02_27/packages')

Correct any script errors in C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/workspace/232229-001 (2681 FTIC)/.gconf/232229-001 (2681 FTIC)/232229-001 (2681 FTIC).tcf
using the Configuration Tool or a text editor, if necessary.


TConf initialization arguments:
-e environment['config.importPath']='C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/workspace/232229-001 (2681 FTIC);C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/bios_5_41_02_14/packages' -e environment['config.scriptName']='232229-001 (2681 FTIC).tcf'

I have looked at the files but I don’t see how to specify the path.My first goal is to set up a simple project using the evm5515 platform first and to be able to perform I/O to the 232 port.

My second goal is to then do the same project using our new board next week.  My questions are:

  1. How do I set up a new platform structure for our hardware?
  2. Is the boot loader sequence built in or do we need to write one?
  3. What tools are available to program NV memory on the device?
  4. What if any are the requirements for setting up external device address mapping.

We will have hardware available 9/27 and we are on a very tight development schedule so I am trying to have a simple program available to let the hardware engineers peek and poke registers.
