Problem after converting CDB project to TCF project

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello,

I have a project I converted from CCS 3.3. Which I believe had a CDB file for DSP/BIOS.

So now the project has a TCF file and it’s part of the project but if I double click I get the below message. And the CDB file is still there but if I navigate to it and open it then it will only open as read only. So how do I edit the DSP/BIOS file?

Is there some other file I need to open?

Thx,
Mark

    Mark,

    After converting your .cdb file to a .tcf file, you must do all your editing via the .tcf file.  This is why the .cdb file is read-only.  The problem is that you have some errors in your .tcf script and you need to edit the script via text editor to fix the problem before it will bring up the tconf gui configuration.

    The very first line says it can't find the Platform "ti.platforms.evmDRA416".  Is this in your BIOS installation?

    See section 4.1 of the attached doc spru007h.pdf for more information.

    Mark,
    that error message means that the platform ti.platforms.evmDRA416 cannot be found. You can check for the directory evmDRA416 in C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_41_03_17/packages/ti/platforms, and verify that the directory exists and that there is a file Platform.tci in it.
    If the file is not there, it means you have an incomplete installation. If the file is there, the next thing to check is why is there another BIOS 5.41.03.17 installation in your importPath. I am refering to "C:/Program Files/Texas Instruments/bios_5_41_03_17". I don't have a CCS3.3 installation right now, but the place where you should go to remove that component is somewhere in Project Properties, and there should be a Tconf tab, with a text box titled "Configuration import path" or something similar.
    Let me know when you find out if any of these helps.

    I did some reading and figured it out.

    When I Import the CCS 3.3 project there is an option to select the DSP/BIOS and compiler version. And on some I would skip that and on some I would select the version at CCS 3.3 Import time. I found that the version must be selected at Import time and then it will work. If I wait and pick the DSP/BIOS version after Import then it won’t let me edit the TCF file.
