Hi

I make another attempt uninstalling all and installing all newsly, but result is the same.

I have uploaded the dos windows output.  It seems doesn't find the sectti.exe but it's

present in directory c:\ti\cg_xml\bin and the variable CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH is set

to "c:\ti\cg_xml".I make another attempt setting CG_XML_BIN_INSTALL_PATH to

"c:\ti\cg_xml\bin" but nothing.  Same error.  If i launch sectti from dos console it works.

Library lib/ti.csl.ae66e is created into c:\ti\pdk_C6678_1_1_2_5\packages\ti\csl\lib\

but I can't figure out what make file is using when generates the error.

Latest update

I modified the buildlib.xs file at line 466 from:

    Pkg.makeEpilogue += "\n\t sectti.exe tmp.xml > " + cslFullLibraryPath + ".a" + target.suffix +  "_size.txt";

to

    Pkg.makeEpilogue += "\n\t c:\\\\ti\\\\cg_xml\\\\bin\\\\sectti.exe tmp.xml > " + cslFullLibraryPath + ".a" + target.suffix +  "_size.txt";

but nothing changes.  result is c:\ti\cg_xml\bin\sectti.exe: not found

I don't figure out why doesn't find the sectti.exe.  The program is present and working and the path is correct.

Hi,

Please try to clean and re-build. Everything will be fine.
I always recommand you upgrade to the latest release, Try to install the latest version. It may solve the problem. In addition that, refer this E2E post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/c6000_multi-core_dsps/f/639/t/205995.aspx

Hi

I apologize but I'm feel so stupid... I've never encountered so many difficulties using eclipse as with TI version.

I'm not new in using linux environment under windows (that is mingw or cygnwin I compiled and used ffmeg libraries, ffmbc, h264 library, firebreath) but, I repeat, I've never encountered so many difficulties like in this case.  May be because documentation is not well updated or I'm using wrong documentation.

I attempt to install all ccsv5 (as from supplied from inside CD) in a new PC with only Win XP professional with service pack 3 and I have the same problems (error is different, it seems doesn't find an executable cl6x.exe).

In my first PC (in which is installed mingW too) I uninstalled all and installed CCS v6.  The wiki is ok for creating a new project, but is very skinny regarding importing and, mainly, where to find examples. In the examples page of ccs is suggested to go in the CCS App center, but in the CCS App center there are no examples ( in details, CCS Add Ons, Stand Alone Software and Additional Resources).

Moreover : pdk tools should be installed and compiled with ccsv6 ? It's not clear to  me.

I should start with a simple example for my TMS320C6678 evaluation module with XDS560V2 emulator. Where I can find examples ?

I download the mcsdk_video_02_01_00_08 in order to evaluate the coding/decoding capabilities of C6678.  It's ok for ccsV6 ?

My target is to evaluate this dsp because we plan to employ in our machines,  but are three days I'm working to install and run one example but up to now the only thing I made is to turn on the board and run the Quick Start Guide.

Please can you direct me toward some examples or some documentation ?

Hi,

Do you need any further support on this?. However this discussion of thread can helpful for future readers, If you verified this thread.

Hi

something starts to works, thank you, but there are some things that still doesn't work.

Installing the tools, there is an error when ccs attempt to install the ndk_2_21_01_38; this is the message:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
  session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
  Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,com.ti.rtsc.NDK.product_2.21.1.38,2.21.1.38.
    File has invalid content:C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\signatureFile8145021823400768200.jar
      Invalid content:plugin.xml
      The file "plugin.xml" in the jar "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\signatureFile8145021823400768200.jar" has been tampered!

Ignoring this message and continuing (greater version is installed), all works.  After I install the mcdsdk_video_2_1_0_8 and attempt to run multichan transcode example.

In the IBL flash instruction, i select the correct gel file in the first time (when programming the eeprom) and

the wrong gel one (the one in mcdsdk not in video one) when programming boot parameter table (btw due to

the fact that are only 28 text rows is better to insert them in the MCSDK_VIDEO_2.1_PKT_Demo_Guide document

instead of referring to another document. This, for non linux user, may easily generate confusion). After this, I correct all and programmed correctly the board.  I see the tftp requests using wireshark.

Then I launch the demo but only 3 windows appear either if i the cmd window that launches startMplayers.bat is reported that up to 16 mplayers are started. But the batch file loops launching Mplayer from 3 up to 16 :

sdp://"C:\ti\mcsdk_video_2_1_0_8\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo\config\sdp\t
_rtp_1_3.sdp" -geometry 352x288+1400+400 -fps 30

Mplayer 4 is Re-started

sdp://"C:\ti\mcsdk_video_2_1_0_8\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo\config\sdp\t
_rtp_2_1.sdp" -geometry 176x144+200+750 -fps 30

Mplayer 5 is Re-started

sdp://"C:\ti\mcsdk_video_2_1_0_8\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo\config\sdp\t
_rtp_2_3.sdp" -geometry 176x144+600+750 -fps 30

Mplayer 6 is Re-started

sdp://"C:\ti\mcsdk_video_2_1_0_8\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo\config\sdp\t
_rtp_2_5.sdp" -geometry 176x144+1000+750 -fps 30

Mplayer 7 is Re-started

and so on up to Mplayer 16

Hi,

I hope your earlier issue got closed. However, please create the new post or thread if you are facing other issue.So that the right team can response easily and you can get fast response as well. I am not familiar with MCSDK_Video package. Here, I can suggest you, please split your issue and created new post if it is device or mcsdk related. 

Hi,

Thanks to created a new thread for video related. Yes, you can get the fast response at your new thread:
