GConf, DSP/Bios, loadPlatform.

I suspect that your .pjt has reference to that older BIOS.   See the attached .zip file.   You should update the dialog box to point to 5.41.10.36.  Or use the BIOS_INSTALL_DIR variable to keep this a soft binding.

Hi Karl,

no the .pjt doesn't include any reference to the old DSP/Bios 5.31.02.
The Build Options are set like you show in the "new_project_path.jpg", but pointing to 5.41.10.36 ofcourse.

The .tco file also points to 5.41.10.36 like I wrote before, I think this is the file that tells tconf where to look...?

But as I wrote before it sems like the project looks in both 5.31.02 and 5.41.10.36, see the first error message i wrote:
js: "C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_31_02/xdctools/include/utils.tci", line 591: exception from uncaught JavaScript throw: Error: Can't find cpu definiton file: ti/catalog/c6000/C6748.tci
"C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_41_10_36/pckages/ti/platforms/generic/Platform.tcp", line 63
....

How is this possible?
Is there any more file that can point to the 5.31.02 and this one doesn't get updated?

Okay you made me look in the Environment Variables and there was the BIOS_INSTALL_DIR pointing to 5.31.02, but now I changed it to 5.41.10.36.
But I dont realy use it and it still doesn't work.

Hi,

this is the complete error meassage that I talked about above (I had just a printout before and I didn't get that same error-message again...)

But now I get it if I try to assign a new DSP/Bios configuration.
It looks like booth 5.41.10.36 and 5.31.02 is referenced.
Can they be that, is that normal?

Correct any script errors in C:/DOCUME~1/1780MA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/6F7A.tcf

The location of this new .tcf is the correct one, but this is because Iam trying to asign a new one, I think...

This looks strange.  You somehow have 5.31.02 on your importPath. 

[1]  Can you check your environment variables for reference to 5.31.02 (or 5_31_02)?

[2]  Can you check your 'BIOS_INSTALL_DIR' environment variable?  It should point to 5.41.10.36.

[3] Can you check your component manager to make sure you have 5.41.10.36 selected for all ISAs?

[4]  Can you send complete build output?  I need to see the tconf line in your build.

[hello.tcf] "C:\CCStudio_v3.3PLA\bios_5_41_10_36\xdctools\tconf" -b -Dconfig.importPath=".;../;C:/CCStudio_v3.3PLA/bios_5_41_10_36/packages/ti/bios/examples/common;C:/CCStudio_v3.3PLA/bios_5_41_10_36/packages" hello.tcf

Hi,
the paste function didn't work, either ctrl-v or the "paste from Word" button, so I made images instead.

[1]
I couldn't find any reference to 5.31.02 in any env-variable.

[2]
My 'BIOS_INSTALL_DIR' environment variable looks like this,

but acctualy it was pointing to 5.31.02 when I started to get this error (many days ago), then I changed it direct, without any succes.

[3]
My Component Manager looks like this, only the C67XX refers to 5.41.10.36, all others to 5.31.02, but it has been like this for as long as I have runed CCS and it has worked OK. But I will change this and try again...

[4]
Here is the biuld output. I can see it differs from your hello.tcf example, but nowhere it refers to 5.31.02, or?

Can you try changing the 64XX in the component manager to point to 5.41.10.36?   I wonder if CCS is treating the 674x as a 64XX instead of a 67XX.    Strange as it might seem, the 674x is closer to a 64xx, than it is to a 670x/671x/672x.

Have you considered updating to CCSv5.1?  

Regards,
-Karl-

I tried to change this, but get the same error...

Should I reinstall 5.41.10.36?
Should I remove 5.31.02?
I'am a little bit afraid to do this kind of operations, that everything will stop working.
I have a project that still works to build, that makes this error even more strange.... 

We have bought CCSv4, but not so many licenses...
Anyway this should work!

Regards
/Martin

Martin,
in the case where your command line was
-------------------------  puma_com_test.pjt - custom  -------------------------
[puma_com_test.tcf] "C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36\xdctools\tconf" -b -Dconfig.importPath="C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_41_10_36/packages;" puma_com_test.tcf
js: "./puma_com_test.tcf", line 98: Failed to generate config files.

did you still get the error message that references bios 5.31.02 files? I see that the config files are not generated, but I can't see what was the error in that case. Anyway, this command line looks correct and now the only way 5.31.02 should find its way into the configuration is through an environment variable.

Can you also try one more thing that would help with the debugging? Right before trying to build, just rename bios_5_31_02 installation, by adding for example "hide." at the beginning of the name, so you have "hide.bios_5_31_02" directory. Please post the content of the error message then, if you get any.

Thanks,
Sasha

Hi Sasha,

good ideas!

No, actually I don't get this error that refers to 5.31.02 anymore, but I still get this error (below) that you also refer to above

-------------------------  puma_com_test.pjt - custom  -------------------------
[puma_com_test.tcf] "C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36\xdctools\tconf" -b -Dconfig.importPath="C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_41_10_36/packages;" puma_com_test.tcf
js: "./puma_com_test.tcf", line 98: Failed to generate config files.

This doesn't say anything to me what the problem is about.
I have tried to run the Graphical Debugger, but this doesn't point to any error, or I don't understand how to run it, I dont find so much documentation about it.

Just some history....
As I wrote above I found some weeks ago now that one environment variable, was wrongly set to point to 5.31.02, but I changed that and still got that error.
I also got that error when I tried to make a totaly new project and assigned a "New DSP/BIOS Configuration", chosing
C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_41_10_36\packages\ti\platforms\evm6748\Platform.tci
Then I also got this error refering to 5.31.02....
But I tried this today and now it works okay :-)

Now I also did as you suggested and renamed the 5.31.02 installation.
Got the same error as above, no reference to any missing DSP/BIOS installation... which I think was your intention if it still refered to 5.31.02

So, okay maybe that "refering to 5.31.02 error" is history now, that error is gone...

But how do I debug the error that I get now?
Something is wrong with the .tcf file, but what

line 98: Failed to generate config files.

it says nothing!
line 98 in the .tcf file is   
prog.gen();

here is the puma_boot_test.tcf file
