c6457 CCS 4.1.3 Linker problem with CLK_gethtime

What I have forgotten to say:

The linking command looks like the following:

'Building target: Firsthello.out'
'Invoking: Linker'
"C:/Programme/Texas Instruments/ccsv4/tools/compiler/C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.23/bin/cl6x" -mv64+ -g --diag_warning=225 -z -m"Firsthello.map" --stack_size=0x400 --warn_sections -i"C:/Programme/Texas Instruments/ccsv4/tools/compiler/C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.23/lib" -i"C:/Programme/Texas Instruments/ccsv4/tools/compiler/C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.23/include" -i"C:/Programme/Texas Instruments/bios_5_41_02_14/packages/ti/rtdx/lib/c6000" -i"C:/Programme/Texas Instruments/bios_5_41_02_14/packages/ti/bios/lib" --reread_libs --rom_model -o "Firsthello.out"  "./main.obj" -l"libc.a" "../lnk.cmd"
<Linking>

How you can see, the lib-folder of the bios are there.

Hi Jan,

Are you able to build the standard BIOS clock example?

Steve

Hi Steven,

thanks for your reply.

Currently I cannot create a project based on the clk-example, because how I can see in your Project-Path, you are using CCS 5.2.

But I am using CCS 4.1.

But I will download CCS 5.2 and will try it out, if I am able to compile and execute this example out of CCS 5.2.

I will reply, after I this test.

P.s.: Do you know, where I can find these examples in CCS 4.1?

Regards

Jan

So I have installed CCS v5.4

I have found and compiled the clk-example and it works.

So I can do my measurements in CCS v5.4 based on this example.

But I would be happy, if you can help me to solve this problem with CCS v4.1. Just for completition.

Hi Jan,

You should also be able to create the CLK example with your CCSv4 install.

In CCSv4, if you select "new CCS project" (Or in CCSv4 it might say something like "new Eclipse project").

Selecting that should bring up a project wizard.  Once in the wizard, follow the steps and you should eventually see a section that shows project templates.  You will want to look for the DSP/BIOS project templates, and then look for the CLK example.

Steve

Yes ok I have found the templates.

My failure was, that I wanted to use BIOS v5 and not RTSC with BIOS v6.

My configuration looks like this now:

I have taken the board-configuration out of the post:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/96708.aspx

The project is called "clock" and the configuration is called "clock_configuration".

When I compile this project now, I receive the following error message out of clock_configuration:

Do you know, what happens here?

Edit: Sorry, the copy and paste of the screenshots of the configuration wizard didn't work.

Hi Jan,

I'm confused.  You say here that you want to use BIOS 5.x, but NOT use BIOS 6.x (and RTSC).  But, based on the above screen shots, you are using BIOS 6.x and RTSC.  Did I misunderstand?

This error means that the 6457 device is not supported in the version of BIOS that you are using (BIOS 6.21.00.13).  I checked the code for that product to verify this, too.

The 6457 looks to have been added in a BIOS release later than 6.21.00.13.  So if you do want to use BIOS 6.x, then you should upgrade it to a newer one.

Steve

Hi Steve,

what I meant was, that in my first projects (e.g. the one with which I started this thread) I always used BIOS 5.x

But with BIOS 5.x I was not able to choose any of these examples, because the creation of a project ended then with the first picture of my last post.

There was then the button "next" grey and the button "finish" clickable.

But then, when I changed to BIOS 6.x, the button "next" is clickable and the button "finish" is grey (how you can see on the first picture).

And when I wanted to use clk functionalities of BIOS 5.x I will receive the errormessage of my first post. And for BIOS 6.x you have given me the answer.

Jan

Ok thanks for your support and the effort to give me this information.

So now I know, that it is not possible to use the clk functionality with this board in CCSv4.1

Thanks

Jan
