Sys/Bios examples give error



Every Sys/Bios example gives me "A device name must be specified". I followed the procedure. I am running CCSv4. Help, please.

 

  • Pat,

    Did you follow the BIOS_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf?

    I've attached it here for your convenience. 7827.Bios_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf

  • Judah,

    Thanks for your response. I am using the V6.33 guide of Dec, 2011. I followed the procedure, but when I try to compile, it seems to think that I haven't selected a device for my platform, but I did select F28M35H52C1.

  • Can you post the actual error here?

    Judah

  • Yes, here it is. Thanks for your response.

  • Did you get through this problem?  Because I see that you are now having problems with the linker?

    If you did not, did you try what was suggested?  A device name can be specified in the platform name, as 'ti.platforms.concertoM3:F28M35XXXXX'

  • Thanks, Judah. I have a solution to this problem. I thought I had already commented.
