CCS/AM6548: Device driver examples not found

Part Number: AM6548

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello.

I have a brand new AM65x Industrial Development Kit and want to import an SPI example project into CCS. 

I am trying to follow relevant TI documentation, but it has proven to be very difficult.

Found this exact same issue:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/762996?RTOS-PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X-No-example-projects-in-PDK

Tried suggested steps therein but to no avail...

I have installed CCS 9.2 on Linux (Ubuntu Budgie 19.04 on VirtualBox).

I have also installed the RTOS SDK from http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/AM65X/latest/index_FDS.html

Both installations have been to the default location: /home/[user]/ti

I've run pdksetupenv.sh.

When starting CCS the newly installed products are automatically discovered.

BTW, some of the installation scripts have a hard coded CCS version of 901 in them. These have been changed to 920...

Moving on to the examples:

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_device_drv.html#mcspi-qspi-ospi

I've run the listed scripts:

"To build and clean libs/apps from top-level makefile:
cd <pdk>/packages
make spi
make spi_clean"

And have also run the following:

"cd <pdk>/packages
./pdkProjectCreate.sh [soc] [board] [endian] spi [project type] [processor] [SECUREMODE=<yes/no>]
Import and build CCS Project from  <pdk>/packages/MyExampleProjects/"

With the following args:

$ ./pdkProjectCreate.sh am65xx am65xx_idk little spi all mcu

The only result is a printout with the following

"..No projects detected. Project generation complete."

I have spent about a week on this, and to be fair I've run the above scripts with various parameters that I can no longer account for.

At some point (probably when running pdkProjectCreate.sh without any arguments at all) something was created:

the folder ~/ti/pdk_am65xx_1_0_5/packages/MyExampleProjects popped up with something that looks like the example projects.

However, these are not recognized as projects by CCS. 

The contents of MyExampleProjects are just files, with names like: MCSPI_Loopback_evmAM335x_armExampleProject

with a lot of path definitions, all being "../../"

A colleague has tried to do the installation on a second Linux PC following the same procedure, but there the MyExampleProjects folder in never even created.

On a third PC, a installation was made previously, albeit for another processor (AM57x). There the MyExampleProjects folder does not contain files like:

MCSPI_Loopback_evmAM335x_armExampleProject but FOLDERS with the same names!

Three installations with three different behaviors...

Obviously I am missing a step (or steps). 

Any help would be much appreciated,

Anders.
