The project contains a pre-build step that calls a perl script. This step is failing. Does the increase-build.pl file exist in the referenced path?

It looks like the original project used BIOS 5.4x. Do you have that same version of DSP/BIOS installed and discovered by CCSv7? You can check by going to Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Products. If DSP/BIOS is not listed under "Installed products", then you can add the path where it is installed to the "Product discovery path" and click on "Rediscover". The enable the DSP/BIOS product and restart CCS.

Also note that migrating a project directly from CCS 3.3 to CCSv7 is quite a big jump so there might be several considerations along the way. Depending on the size and scope of project, in some cases it may even be easier to create a new project from scratch in CCSv7 rather than import/migrate an existing CCSv3 project. 

I have the BIOS 5.4x and the path is correct, but I don't know how to discovered by CCSv7.

I think xdctools_3_50_01_12_core isn't compatible with DSP/BIOS 5.4x, and that you need to install and select a XDC tools version which is compatible with your DSP/BIOS.

[I haven't checked for the compatible XDC tools version]

On the page ti, can I  download any version compatible of XDC tools? I just found xdctools_3_50_01_12_core :(

CCSv4 users will need to check their installed CCS version has XDCtools version 3.16.03 or higher to use the product for evm5515

I tried to install both the xdctools and the proposed bios but I had problems:
Issues requiring were encountered while attempting to perform the operation:

and the same problem with  XDCtools

To address this specific issue I think all you would need to do is adjust the path to tconf. As you can see in the command line above, it is trying to invoke tconf from C:/ti/xdctools_3_50_01_12_core but there is no tconf in that directory for that version of xdctools. The path instead needs to point to "C:/ti/bios_5_41_10_36/xdctools/tconf"

I would suggest trying the following to get past that specific error:

1) Make sure CCS has discovered BIOS version 5.41.10.36. To check this go to menu Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Products and check if DSP/BIOS 5.41.10.36 is listed under "Installed Products". If it is not, make sure its path is in the "Product Discovery Path" in the top pane (if it is not, add the path) and click Rediscover. Select that version of DSP/BIOS from the list of products and install it. 

2) After DSP/BIOS is discovered by CCS, go into the project's Properties->Build->Variables tab, click on "Show system variables" and check if the variable BIOS_CG_ROOT exists and points to the correct location. My install with BIOS 5.42 looks like this:

3) In Project Properties->Build->Tconf, ensure the build command is set to "${BIOS_CG_ROOT}/xdctools/tconf" -b
That should set the correct path to tconf.

I did all the steps but I still see the same error!!!!! :(

Maria,

This section of the build output alone does not tell what went wrong. We would need to see the full output in the build console after a rebuild.

Please note that as I mentioned earlier, for some projects, migration from CCS 3.3 to CCSv7 may not be as straightforward as simply importing the project.  You would require an understanding of both the project details (how it was set up/configured etc with CCSv3) and of how CCSv7 works (where/how to set up properties/options etc) to be able to fix up the errors.

If you do not make progress with addressing the build issues in the migrated project, you could try creating a new project from scratch in CCSv7, then add all the source files to it and configure/set up build options. There is a build handbook that has a lot of good information about projects and the build process and could serve as a good resource.
