Problems linking UIA Tutorial 3

Fabian Lindner

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO, TMS320C6678

Hi,

I'm just trying to get through the System Analyzer tutorial and I hang at step 3.

I use the project from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS320C6678L_Build_Configuration for C6678 EVM

Building works fine after I set up the correct path, but during linking I get the following ERROR:

    Hi Fabian,

       What versions are you using of the following?

    • CCStudio
    • UIA
    • MCSDK
    • PDK
    • Sys/Bios
    • XDCtools
    • NDK

    Also, what are the target and platform settings in your RTSC Build Settings (e.g. see http://processors.wiki.ti.com/images/6/66/StairstepEthernet_RTSC.gif )

    I'd like to configure my development environment in the same way that you have yours set up so that I can try to reproduce this error.

    Thanks

       Brian

    I've just made a full update of CCS an all its components so it gets a little bit better. But I still get linking errors.

    Now  I'm using:

    • CCS: 5.2.0.00069
    • UIA: 1.1.0.04
    • MCSDK 2.1.1.4
    • PDK: MCSDK PDK TMS320C6678  1.1.1.4
    • Sys/Bios: 6.33.6.50
    • XDCtools 3.23.4.60
    • NDK: 2.21.1.38
    • Inter-processor Communication: 1.24.3.32
    • Target: ti.targets.elf.C66
    • Platform: ti.platforms.evm6678

    I changed the Section memory mapping in the .cfg file, so the "DDR" memory is now called "DDR3" as in the platform. So I got rid of the placement errors.

    But I still got 2 undifended references:


    'Building target: StairstepEthernet_6678.out'

    Hi Fabian,

        There's another E2E post which deals with those same unresolved symbols: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/bios/f/355/p/195017/697120.aspx .  The part that might be relevant is discussed in http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/c6000_multi-core_dsps/f/639/p/192480/690020.aspx#690020 .  This basically covers some of the problems when using different platform files. 

    It looks like you are using ti.platforms.evm6678 as your platform file instead of the platform file specified in the tutorial - custom.hpdspua.evmc6678l.  Could you try exactly following each of the steps specified in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS320C6678L_Build_Configuration and let me know if it clears up the linking problem?

    Thanks

      Brian

    Thanks for the reply,

    but I cannot follow the steps exactly, because I don't have PDK version 1.0.0.15 only 1.0.0.17 and also I don't have System Analyzer version 1.0.3.25 only 1.1.0.04.

    The  platform custom.hpdspua.evmc6678l is not available in PDK version 1.0.0.17.

    And when I update all used repositories to newest version and I set the platform to custom.hpdspua.evmc6678l I get the Errors I've posted above.

    I expected the tool versions to be compatible with earlier versions. Do you have any workarounds for me to get it working with the newest versions I posted?

    Regards,

    Fabian

    OK I fixed the problem myself.

    The error is in the file platform_osal.c that comes with the demo zip-package, not in any compiler or tool-chain version.

    You have to add the following lines toe platform_osal.c:

    ========================================================================

    Ptr Osal_paMtCsEnter (void)
    {
        /*
         * Current demos are not multi-threaded.
         */
        return NULL;
    }
    void Osal_paMtCsExit (Ptr CsHandle)
    {
        /*
         * Release multi-threaded / multi-process lock on this core.
         */
        return;
    }

    ========================================================================

    these two functions are completely missing and it seems to be that most of the functions in platform_osal.c are not implemented yet by TI but only exist as raw wrapper.

    @ TI: please fix the problem in the zip file provided by: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS320C6678L_Build_Configuration

    Ok I managed to build the project,  but when I try to run it I get a new error:

    Pa_create returned with error code -10
    Failed to initialize the Packet Accelerator

    Any idea what this means and how to solve it?

    I didn't change the source code except from the changes of my previous post

    Solved!

    not only the platform_osal.c but also the resourcemgr.c in the zip-file from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS320C6678L_Build_Configuration is wrong.

    I replaced both with the files from the hua demo from MCSDK now it works.

    @ TI Support: Please bring your messed up files up to date

    Thanks

    Fabian,

        Thank you!  You're right on.

    The platform_osal.c and resourcemgr.c files in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/images/a/a0/StairstepEthernet_6678.zip have been updated so that the tutorial project works with the latest MCSDK 2.1.1.4 release.  The following has also been added to the [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS320C6678L_Build_Configuration Wiki instructions]  :

    NOTE: For MCSDK releases later than MCSDK 2.1.1.4, please use the platform_osal.c and resourcemgr.c files located in <MCSDK INSTALL DIR>\examples\ndk\helloWorld in your project instead of the ones that are in the StairstepEthernet_6678.zip file. (Special thanks to Fabian for his help).

    My apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

    Regards,

       Brian
