CCS/TMS570LS3137: How to get the directory in which a debug script resides

Steven Strauss

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am writing a Debug Initialization Script to be used in a debug configuration. In this script, I want to reference my load (.out) file using a path designation relative to where my project is located. It appears that the default directory while executing the script is the location of CCS itself (C:\ti\ccsv7\eclipse). How can I have the script determine the location of my project, and not the location of where CCS is installed?

Specifically, when I run getCurrentDirectory() on the scripting environment, it returns C:\ti\ccsv7\eclipse.

This is a known limitation. There is not a good way to get the location from your running javascript. Other than using absolute paths, others will use environment variables which can be read by the script

Ki,

Thank you for your response. How would I access an environment variable from within the script? I have not done much java scripting.

You can actually use a Java System API from your javascript.

Make sure you import the necessary package:

importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

Then you can access an environment variable like so (example for reading the BIOS_INSTALL_DIR environment variable):

var envVarBios = System.getenv("BIOS_INSTALL_DIR");

Thanks
