BIOS causes a Abort while update the compiler

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi, I found a problem in BIOS while I update the compiler. my device is TCI6614, and my BIOS version is BIOS6.32.5.54. when I use the cgt 7.3.1, the project is ok and can run successfully. when I update the cgt to 7.4.2, compile can be run but the Abort always happens after project running.

I try to debug which part causes the Abort, and finally I found there is a Hwi_Create call in the main, and a memory allocation in the Hwi_create will casue an Abort. It is BIOS code and I can't modify. so it seems a BIOS issue. is it becasue the BIOS version is not compatible with this type of CGT? could you provide any suggestion?

thank you very much!

Hi,

Looks like "Abort" is happening due to memory allocation error. Were you getting this with your own program or with a SYSBIOS example? I will see if I can try to reproduce it on my end.

It could very well be that BIOS 6.32.5.54 is compatible with CGTv7.4.2.

it is a complex project and I am afraid I can't reproduce it in a simple way. However, I find some way to avoid this problem. that I update the cmpiler and it is fixed.

thank you very much!

So you found a solution for your problem? That's good if you did.

I was gonna say that usually "abort" due to memory usually means you need to increase your heap size.
