CCS/IWR1642BOOST: Post build failed

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi all,

I am currently working on IWR1642 Boost EVM and I am using CCS 8.1

I get post build failed message but my build is completed successfully.

I have installed the necessary sdks and sys/bios.

This is what i get in console:

For dss project:

**** Build Finished ****

Can anyone tell what should I do? 

  • Hello Radha,

    This seems to be a build tools / Environment / write permissions related issue. Please check/try the following

    1. Make sure you have administrator rights on the Windows machine as admi permissions are needed for CCS to work properly.

    2. I see you have created a workspace on G: drive. I would recommend creating your workspace on the same volume where your TI directory and tools installations reside i.e. C:\.

    3. Make sure you have write permissions in the workspace folder. It's possible that the post build steps are not able to open output file(s) for writing because of permission problems. This would cause the post build steps to fail.

    Thanks

  • Hi Nitin,

    I have ensured the above mentioned points in my system. I have administrator rights, and I tried creating a workspace in C:\ directory and even enabling write perrmissions. I still face the same error.

    Pre build and post builed failed and could not create bin files.

    What else can I do?

    Thanks,

    radha

  • Hi Radha,

    The pre-build failures are harmless as they are just warnings that the build system was not able to delete pre-existing .bin files in the directory.

    1. Which version of the People counting lab are you building? This information is available in the lab release notes.
    3. Have you ensured that you have all the right tools installed as mentioned in the People counting lab user guide? Note that in addition to the required mmWave SDK, you also need to install TI CGT compiler 7.4.16 for this lab. The link for this is provided in the Software Requirements section of the lab user guide. You have not provided the complete build log but I believe that the DSP build might be failing because of a missing tool (CGT 7.4.16) and this will cause the final binary generation to fail in the mss project build.

    Regards
