Hi Champs,

    Hi Lisa,

    What version of CCS and TI-RTOS are you using?

    Hi Todd,

    Hi Lisa, I was the author of that workshop - Todd fwd'd me the post. Luckily I had 5.4 still laying around to duplicate the problem you were having.  ;-)

    On the TI-RTOS wiki site (where you download the labs/sols files from), there is an installation guide that walks you through which tools are the "sweet spot" for the projects for rev 1.20 of the workshop. I suggest you look at that PDF file. It will suggest you use CCSv5.5 with the associated XDC, UIA, BIOS and compiler versions provided in the stock CCSv5.5 release. Your experience with those labs/solutions will be far better in CCSv5.5 than 5.4.

    Now - on to the issue at hand. I tried importing lab6 for the C28x into 5.4 and got the same error. If you click on the details tab, it should tell you that you need to upgrade your compiler to v6.2. If you import a project that specifies an OLDER compiler than what you have installed, this normally doesn't cause a problem (i.e. backward compatibility usually is not a problem). However, if the reverse happens and a project you're importing used a NEWER compiler than what you have installed on the system (i.e. FORWARD compatibility), well, CCS screams about that as it should.  ;-)

    This (compiler) may not be the only problem you encounter with these labs and solutions. In particular, the UIA/SA product that shipped with the stock 5.4 and its interaction with the XDC and BIOS revisons in that release had some bugs that were fixed in later versions. The stock CCSv5.5 contains all of these fixes. So, upgrading to 5.5 will solve your import problem and probably provide you with a better experience as you walk through the labs for this workshop. 

    But, if you only want to solve the immediate IMPORT problem, upgrade to ver6.2 of the C28x compiler and that will hopefully solve the immediate problem.

    Let us know if this fixes your issue.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Hi Eric,

    I will download CCS v5.5 and check. Now i can't use execution graph to see task running. Is this because compiler as well or i miss something ? Can i run the execution graph in CCS v5.4 ? thank you.
