xdc.tools.configuro: Error: Can't find the platform package

Simon,
I am guessing you got the error after clicking on Build Project or Rebuild Project. There should be more output in the console window in that case. Can you post all of it? Can you also check the content of the directory C:/ti/tirtos_c2000_2_00_02_36/products/bios_6_40_01_15/packages? There should be a path ti/platforms/tms320x28 there. Can you verify it's there and there are files Platform.xdc, Platform.xs and other in there?

Simon,
I just noticed something strange about your version of tirtos_c2000. It contains SYS/BIOS 6.40.01.15, while the same version of tirtos_c2000 that I got from the App Center in CCS 6 contains SYS/BIOS 6.40.02.27. I don't know if that discrepancy has anything to do with the error, but I would like to know how did you install that version of tirtos_c2000?

Hi Sasha,

Thank you for your help. Here is the complete output of the console:

I also have the path: C:\ti\tirtos_c2000_2_00_02_36\products\bios_6_40_02_27\packages ,with a different bios version.

And I also found the platform.xdc and platform.xs files.

I installed that version of tirtos_C2000 with the CCS6 AppCenter.

Simon,
there is definitely something wrong with your TI-RTOS installation, if you have two SYS/BIOS versions under 'products'. TI-RTOS ships with one version of SYS/BIOS and the version number is hardcoded in various files used by CCS. I think you should uninstall your version of TI-RTOS C2000 2.00.02.36, delete it from the disk, and install a new version from http://downloads.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/2_00_02_36/index_FDS.html. Then, install it through Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products->Install New.

I still tried to replicate that specific error output that you are seeing. The only way I could do it was by going to the directory ti/platforms/tms320x28/package and removing or renaming the file with the extension 'sch'. Can you check for that file? Other variants of a corrupted SYS/BIOS installation caused different errors. Even if that file is missing in your installation, it doesn't tell us much more, it would still mean that your TI-RTOS C2000 installation is corrupted and you should follow the steps I recommended above.
