Error creating an RTSC package configuration

XDCTools 3.20.08.88

XDAIS 7.10.00.06

 

I'm trying to create an RTSC configuration for my new board.  Every time I press "Finish" I get the following error:

 

There should be nothing very special about it.  It is for a TMS320C6746; I'm just adding my external memory and setting the sections to use it.

 

I notice that I get an "External memory" block for this device that I do not get for the C6748

    Peter,
    the problem is most likely caused by '-' in your platform name. Package names rules for RTSC packages are similar to the ones for Java packages, where hyphens are not allowed in a package name. We do have to fix the error message to say exactly that.

    Thanks,

     removing the dash fixed it.

     

    On a related note, how do I base a new RTSC platform configuration off of one of my existing configurations?  When I try to import a configuration I only get to choose from the standard set.  I have a number of similar boards that I want to use and it's painful to have to recreate each one from the beginning.

    Peter,

    You must update your project options to add the path to the custom platform package that you created.

    Please refer to spraas7e.pdf in the section:

    3.2 Updating a CCSv4 Project to Build with a Generated Platform Package

    This section describes how to do this.

    spraas7e can be found in your SYS/BIOS installation,  for example in my machine it's here:

    C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\bios_6_30_02_42\docs\Bios_Legacy_App_Note.pdf

    That is correct, but it does not answer the question that I asked.

     

    I can and have generated an RTSC hardware configuration file and used it successfully.

    Now I want to create a new RTSC hardware configuration, based off of the one that I previously created, instead of off the presupplied ones.

    When I go into "Tool, RTSC Tools, Platform, New" there is no way to refer to my previously created configuration.

    I can choose a the same device family / name on "New Platform", Page 1; but when I press the Import button I just get the TI supplied platforms.

    I can not reference my custom configuration.

     

    If I go into "Tool, RTSC Tools, Platform, Edit/View", I can choose my custom platform under Package Name, but I cannot save the changes to a new configuration name, or change the specific processor in the device family (i.e. from an OMAP-L138 to a C6748), etc.

     

    With a number of different board with very similar configurations it's a pain to have to create each one by starting with a TI supplied EVM description and deleting and added memory sections, etc.

    Hi Peter,

    This a bug. The wizard should search the user defined repository for RTSC platforms. I have filed a bug in the eclipse bugzilla and we expect to fix this in the XDCtools 3.20 release expected in the end of April.

    Regards
