Code composer studio binary output folder not generated

Hi Jack,

what steps did you take?  Did you search for the bin_files folder?  DId you install the FDK software?

A bit more information might help us to get you going with the examples and kit.

Hi Lisa,

The FDK CDROM contains source code with a simplified fingerprint feature extraction/matching algorithm.
This section describes how to open, build, and run that project in CCS4.x.
• Change back to the C/C++ perspective by clicking on at the top right of the window
• Click on Project→Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project.
• In the Import window, browse to "<FDK PATH>\Software\C5515_code_development\FDK_Demo\".
Ensure that FDK_Demo is checked and click Finish.
• Click on Project→Build Active Project to build the FDK Demo.
Ensure no error messages were printed to the console.

• Ignore the warning about the entry-point symbol other than _c_int00. This project uses the entry point
reset_isr, which is defined inside of vectors.asm.
WARNING:
<Linking>
warning: entry-point symbol other than "_c_int00" specified: "reset_isr"
'Finished building target: FDK_Demo.out'
' '
Build complete for project FDK_Demo
• Switch back to the Debug perspective by clicking on the icon at the top right of the window.
• Click on View→C/C++ Projects to open the project file explorer window.
• Click on the icon next to Binaries to show the FDK_Demo.out file.

the last step of finding the fdk demo out file is not possible....because i cant find the binaries file....

could you help me out....

and could also tell me how to get the fingerprint in the pc side???what modifications should i do to the kit.??

Hi Jack,

the FDK software does not seem to be publicly posted so I am going to try to track it down to reproduce this.

If you are sure the file does not appear there that is odd. I should be there unless one of a few things

- it did not happen to build correctly

- the .out file it says it generated (FDK_Demo.out) was generated but not in the project folder.  Due to a setting or post build step.  Did you check this?  Post build steps, did you do a search for this .out? 

- permissions issues if CCS could not write

Could you please send a couple screenshots?  In the mean time I will see if I can track down what I need to try and reproduce this.  But from what you post it does seem like CCS did build a .out file.  Can you connect, load and debug?

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi lisa,

as of now i dont have the kit now...so cant take screenshots...but can tell for sure build and everything mentioned in the pdf,did go as it was supposed to go....so the build and debug were fine.

I searched the out file but could find it that directory.I did do these routine on 3 diffferent laptops ( windows xp,vista and windows 7) and the same issuses were there..And then i am asking you to help.

please help.

Jack,

This may not answer your question, but may give you some pointers to fix the issue that you are seeing:

Generally in a CCSv4/v5 settings, you can see where the .out file is stored from the Compiler and CCS settings. Please right click on the project file and under Build Properties->Tool Settings->C5500 Compiler->Directory Specifier. Check the path set for -fr, --obj_directory. This is generally where all the object files and the out files are located. If the setting on that project is automatic, look for a folder has a name Debug or Release in the path where you have the project.

Other place to see if the path for the .out file is specified is Build Properties->Build Settings->Build output.

Please let us know, if you were able to find the out file.

Regards,

Rahul
