any suggestions from anyone?

massimiliano,

It looks like you are using cygwin. Can you quickly check if the syntax of the path is correct? For example, does calling "e:/ProgramMI/Texas Instruments/C6000 Code Generation Tools 7.4.1/bin/prelink6x" from your cygwin shell work?

I am able to generate a MAD image after tweaking your maptoolCfg file. I attached my changes here (renamed to .txt). Note that I have CGT/bin in my PATH. See if this works any better.
