CCS6.1: ROV failed to start

Gunter Schmer

Hi,

I read the various posts on "ROV failed to start" but could not solve this one. The error is again: Can't extract RTSC configuration package path from ... .out'

Attached is a tgz file with the .out file and the .rov.xs file inside. Could someone take a quick look, why that error could be happening? I have similar projects and it is working there.

The xdc version in use is XDC 3.31.2.38

Regards,

    Gunter,
    there are a couple of symbols that XDCtools embeds into an application, and these symbols are then read by ROV. Your app is missing these symbols. They are usually found in section "xdc.meta". Can you check your linker command file or a map file, and verify if that section is mentioned anywhere?

    Hi Sasha,

    This section appears under "Discarded input sections".

    this is in the .map file:
    ...
    Discarded input sections
    ...
    xdc.meta 0x00000000 0x100 /home/gunter/workspace_sdk_rtos_am437x/testUart/Debug/configPkg/package/cfg/am437x_app_evmam437x_pa9fg.oa9fg

    The linker cmd file was generated by XDC and did not have the xdc.meta section in it.

    What could I be missing?

    Thanks,
    --Gunter

    Normally, the linker command file would contain the directive
    KEEP(*(xdc.meta))
    which would cause the section to be kept in the output file. Which version of SYS/BIOS are you using? That directive is being generated in all versions of SYS/BIOS I have although they are all released within the last 12 months.
