CCSv5.5 and RTOS Object View (ROV)

Hello,

I have problems launching the ROV. Need this to view memory consumption/fragmentation and stack status.

CCS v5.5 comes with XDC 3.25.03.72, but we had to downgrade it to 3.22.01.21 to get CCS to work with the 5509a chip. Could be this process is not complete, as I cant choose this XDCtool under RTSC support (see attached image)

If that's the reason ROV does not work, what is the correct procedure to downgrade the XDC version?

Setup:

DSP 5509a

CCS v5.5.0

BIOS 5.42.1.09

XDC 3.22.01.21

    Magne,
    I can't see the image, but once you download an XDCtools version and you want to install it in CCS, you can go to Project Properties->CCS General->RTSC, the click on the button "More ..." left from the drop-down menu "XDCtools version:". Then, go to Select Tool from File System, and navigate to XDCtools 3.22. If the installation is successful, you should see a message that says so. Otherwise, you should get some kind of error message.
    Also, what happens when you try to launch ROV? ROV should rely on the newest version of XDCtools, so the installation of an older version should not affect ROV.

    Thanks for the reply.

    If I go to Project Properties->CCS General, I don't see any RTSC related options.

    When I launch ROV it says "Could not find required xdc plugins. Verify xdc tools are installed."

    Under Window->Preferences->CCS->RTSC I am not able to choose an XDC tool. Guess this explains the error message. One step further, under Products, XDC is not among the Discovered Tools. If I click Refresh, then only the newer 3.25 version is found. How can I make CCS disregard the newer version, and instead use the 3.22 version?

    Thanks,

    Magne

    I completely missed that you are using DSP/BIOS. DSP/BIOS comes with its own version of XDCtools so I am not sure how you would change the version of XDCtools for DSP/BIOS in CCS 5.5. Can you tell me more how you select which version of XDCtools you use with DSP/BIOS?

    I think that the last image shows XDCtools 3.22 under Products and Repositories, and not in XDCtools version, because XDCtools 3.22 is simply too old and is missing content that CCS 5.5 requires. However, that doesn't really matter to you because CCS is always using the newest available version of XDCtools to run ROV, and in your case it's 3.25.
    The error message that ROV is displaying could be solved by installing newer XDCtools or reinstalling XDCtools 3.25. It's possible that some content from your 3.25 installation got deleted while you were installing 3.22. Delete 3.25 from Discovered Tools by clicking on Remove and then add it again by clicking on Add... You should see a couple of dialog boxes and at the end there should be message that XDCtools 3.25 is installed successfully.

    Ah, I see. Reinstalled XDC 3.25 and now ROV is working. Like you said, some files may have been deleted by installing the older 3.22 version. I have still left the XDCtools version selection box empty, as I fear then debugging will not work.
    Still, ROV is working and debugging works.
    Thanks a lot Sasha!
