Error installing SYSBIOS v6.42

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi;

   Running Win 7 64 bit here. Have the AM437x IDK. Trying to install the SYSBIOS v6.42. Following the install I get the pop up telling me that the process may not have run properly. But no clues. Moving forward I attempted to compile the EnDat diagnostic example. First I setup the configuration as per the directions to use the correct target, (EVMAM437x) and the XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe. Also bypassed the M3_Wakeup_SS_1. When I run the test I get the 'JTAG DR Integrity scan test succeeded' message . Upon attempting to compile for debug, I get an problem listing telling me that my SYSBIOS isn't installed. Yet when I check the Windows CP, the listing for the SYSBIOS is there waiting for me to uninstall? The version there is  2.1.1.2 with no size given.

Some things that may be incorrect:

Not sure I installed the GNU compiler when I ran the CCS install.

I also get a warning that my XDC\packages directory can't be found.

Any help appreciated.

Aaron

    Hi,

    Where did you download this from? The correct location is: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Hi Biser;
    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    The file I downloaded doesn't match the one you are suggesting even though I used the links supplied by the TI site. I have 'sysbios_ind_sdk_win32setup_02_01_01_02', the one you point to is 'ti-processor-sdk-rtos-am437x-evm-02.00.01.07-Windows-x86-Install'. Are you sure that yours is correct for my situation? If I do need to replace the install, am I safe to uninstall what I have and re-install from this new install file? For instance, do I need to remove the CCS first, then install sysbios then re-install CCS?
    Also I seem to also be having problems with the RTSC packages. Can you please let me know what the correct link is for that since I got all this stuff from the Ti site myself and there is obviously problems in doing it that way.
    Thanks again for your time,

    Hi Biser;
    I thought I would take the conservative route and uninstall the CCS then re-install later so I could make sure I got the GNU compiler installed. Now the CCS will not re-install. I get the following message "An error occurred: could not read "c:/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/common/targetdb": no such file or directory. What's up with that? Most programs can be un-installed and reinstalled without a problem. Now I have nothing at all on the system that I can use from TI. Can you help? Do I need a new license?

    Hi Biser;
    Finally got the CCS to re-install from my CD by deleting all files and directories the uninstall left behind. I downloaded the file you suggested but discovered that it is not a self extracting exe file. How exactly am I supposed to install it?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Hi Biser;
    Didn't hear back from you at all today. Made some progress, got the CCS re-installed and also the SDK by renaming it with the proper tail. Must have been some 'protection' thing at work. However, now I note that the new version of the SDK has no examples loaded with it. I used the Resource center button on CCS and got an 'OOOPS" screen with no resources given. So I have no examples now from the new version. I tried the older version examples I saved, but got the same errors. The build script can't find the SYSBIOS nor the XDC tools.
    What now?

    I have asked the ISDK team to help on this. We are in different time zones, mine is East European, so communication may be delayed.

    Hi Biser;
    Managed to reload everything and got things working. Several things I note, first, I took all the defaults and didn't enter any alternate paths during the install. So I would recommend that unless TI improves the install to account for alternate paths, to disallow it from the install options. Thanks for the help.

    Hi Biser;

        I have worked my way through many of the exercises in both the examples and what I have been advised to do  by the SYS/Bios training for the RTOS. One problem I have had is that I have been unable to get the CONSOLEUtils to function correctly. I traced the problem to a compile flag called 'SEMIHOSTING'. apparently this flag needs to be set and the 'utils' library re-built in order for the putchar() operation to be redirected properly to the stdout while debugging. Bottom line is that I need to rebuild the 'utils' library supplied prebuilt with the SYS/BIOS package for the AM437x. I saw some CSS projects at the head of the dir tree on the utils lib path, but they don't want to load. Can you instruct me in re-building this library or point me to directions?

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    Hi Biser;
    I figured it out and got the 'utils' lib building and working as required. The question is now one of how things work. Looks like the getchar() operation blocks the whole system. The idle thread operation I had working before implementing the CONSOLEUtils, is now frozen. Is that what I should expect?
    Thanks,
    Aaron
