CCS v6, DSP/Bios 5.42.01.09; gconf won't open my tcf file in F2812 project

I have a very slightly modified F2812 project using DSP/Bios 5.42.01.09 in CCS v6 for which the previous version didn't have a problem, at least on one computer. On my home PC (win 7 pro), the project builds and I;ve been debugging it. But I cannot open my tcf file with the graphical tool. It makes things harder. I've looked thru all the forums, RTOS and CCS and there were many somewhat similar posts, but most seemed to be 3-4 years old or more. When I'm in CCS in project explorer and right-click on the tcf file and select open with DSP/Bios Configuration Tool, I get a status bar that completes and then nothing. No error msg, no config tool, no open tcf file. Build settings look good.

Any ideas? Thanks.

    Kamran,

    Are you able to open the tool outside of CCS?

    If you look in the SYS/BIOS installation folder the executable will be in \packages\ti\bios\config\gconf\bin
    When you run it the tool will prompt for a path to the xdc tools. There should be a set of tools in the BIOS installation folder under \xdctools

    Regards,
    John

    John,

    I have two, win-7 PCs each with CCS v6. One at work and one at home and I work both places and keep the workspace files synchronized. The PC at work will open the tcf file but the one at home will not. I have the executable for the gconf in the folder where it should be per your reply. I can't seem to figure out why it won't open at home. I've also tried manually opening it at home, running gconf from a command prompt from both the project directory and from the gconf directory and I can't get that to open the tcf file, but it will open the gconf tool. What I need is a help file or something that tells me what options I need to give gconf  to open my tcf file. Also, if you have any ideas on why it might work at work but not at home, I'd appreciate your thoughts. 

    Thanks.

    Kamran,
    when you open gconf, can you go to File->Open and then browse to your TCF script? What happens? When you build your project, there should be a tconf command line somewhere in the output console. Is that command line same on both PCs, and can you post it?

    Sasha, it doesn't really open all the way. It askes me for a couple of directory locations (XDCtools and one other), one at a time. I don't seem to give it the answers it wants, so it closes after I enter the 2nd directory location, which I think is for tci files (not tcf). Any ideas?

    Can you check that tconf command line I asked about? That should give some ideas. The second location it asks is config.importPath, that might be needed too.

    I'm confused now. It seems that the post replied on it's own and said that the question was answered. However, I did not do that. It will take a few more days for me to try what was suggested and see if ti works. 

    Why are my posts getting checked as being answered all on their own without my input?

    Someone flagged it as answered. A moderator can do that. I have rejected the answered status for the post. You can set a post to "verified answer" later if it works out for you.
