XDAIS v1.0.0 in CCS v6.2.0

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, CODECOMPOSER, TMS320C5515

Hello,

I have following problem. I have someone else's project

which was developed in Code Composer Studio 3.3.

I opened the project in Code Composer Studio 6.2.0

and tried to build it. The result was following warning

message:

Product 'XDAIS' v1.0.0 is not currently installed and no

compatible version is available. Please install this product

or a compatible version.

Build stopped..

I am a newbie in TI development tools. I don't absolutely

know why I need some XDAIS product and where to

find it. Can somebody give me an advice? Thank you

in advance.

    You need XDAIS product because that project probably depends on it.

    Why are you trying to take this project to 6.2? Going from CCSv3.3 to CCSv6.2 is a huge jump and I do not expect that to work easily.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to do. XDAIS is an old product and I don't know if CCSv6.2 can even support it.

    Here's the link for donwloading XDAIS.
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index.html

    I think you really need to ask yourself what you are trying to do.

    I am going to modify the existing software. Please, can you
    tell me, what version of XDAIS I should install or recommend
    me the best suitable combination of CCS version and XDAIS
    version? I am going to use xds100v2-usb-jtag emulator.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    If you are going to modify the existing software you probably don't need to use any special tools to generate XDAIS stubs, etc.,
    have you tried just downloading the latest XDAIS release and building your project after pointing to the XDAIS installation paths.

    Hello Murat,

    thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and it
    looks like that the building process proceeded without
    any problems.

    "probably depends on it" is an interesting formulation.

    That sounds like it might be a pseudo dependency.

    I definitly had such a case on a simple project (just sources and linker command file) and did find nothing to remove the dependency from the gui.

    However modifying the generated file .cproject deleting lines containing

    "PRODUCTS=com.ti.rtsc.XDAIS:1.0.0;"

    or

    "{XDAIS_CG_ROOT}/packages/ti/xdais"

    at least helped to build the project without error.

    Seems like the project importing wizard is not that smart detecting real XDAIS dependency.

    How about this...
    Out of the box, this demo project doesn't build.

    I installed CCS 6.2, controlSuite, SYS/Bios, all the stuff the tutorial tells me to.
    The I plug in my C2000 Poccolo Launch XL, and try to import the demo program using the Resource Explorer.

    It gives me the error "Product XDAIS is not currently installed... "

    I honestly have more failures than successes just following the TI recommended path of training and tutorials.

    Yep - I totally agree with Christopher... it is normal that you get into trouble while you face a new microcontroller-System..

    but this is even more ... let me say ... messy...

    Hey TI-guys.. what is your Problem in supporting your potentially new customers...

    You have a big blown base of Information and nothing.. really nothing works straight away... never experienced a system

    where the first "hello word" is such a though work.

    The Software to be installed... question mark.. just codecomposer.. what about controlsuit.. Motor... for a newbi or me.. it was unclear.

    after Installation of all the stuff ... CodeComposer V7

    I can not even find my development board "LaunchXL-F2802F" in your shiny "Ressource-Explorer".. which by the way.. nobody really requires but it takes a hughe amount of disk-space.

    examples can be imported but then I am not able to compile them.... you are focused on making your customer unhappy.. are you?

    The first "hello world". ... requires a compiler, a download-tool and examples together with some device Drivers... why should that be so complicated?

    - 5 Points on a scale of 0 to 5..

    Gerhard, thanks for your support.

    When you're new to the devices, the forums, the material, you are reluctant to just come in yelling "where is this or that??  Why isn't stuff organized properly??"   despite the temptation.

    What I wish is that TI would assign someone, maybe from a group of people on a rotation basis, to be available to answer these question which are simple to the "road warriors", but not obvious to us newbies.

    "Oh, you want the headers for accessing GPIO on that F28027?  It's in this package..."

    "Using I2C on chip whichever? Get that package and look at example xxx..."

    "That LaunchXL board?  It's not only called a Piccolo, but it's also a C2000, so look under those names instead..."  

    Once I get connected with someone willing to help and give advice, it's difficult not to abuse their help...

    Dear Murat,

    I have the same prob with v6.2.0, can u specify how and where to point the xdais installation path?? I have copied the latest xdais folder in c:\\ti but while running ccs it is showing that no xdais is installed.


    prob solved by https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/401960

    What I did was download it, unzip it into my C:\ti folder, and when I restarted CCS, it just displayed a message about new software and installed it.  Which sounds like the process you also followed.

    Since they don't document *how* CCS finds this stuff, I can't tell you why it's not finding it.

    I had the same problem when updating an old CCS 3.3 project to CCS 7.0. Actually, the project I wanted to update was a test project supplied with the TMS320C5515 eZdsp USB stick.

    I found that XDAIS was no longer required at all. I suspect that it is also not required in the project of the original questioner.

    I went to Build Settings / General and changed from the "Main" tab to "Products" where I deselected XDAIS. It then compiled and linked without errors.
