CCSTUDIO-SITARA: CCS 10 GNU 9.2.1 Fails

Part Number: CCSTUDIO-SITARA

Hello,

Yet ANOTHER out of the box failure.

I have a project, It's an AM335x Project. Compiles with GNU 7.3  (linaro)

I go to the App Center page.

I install/update GNU 9.2.1 (Linaro)  (seen here after the fact)

Then try to build...   Right out of the box.  Problems with ITS OWN HEADERS.

Does no one test these things before releasing them to users?

  • So. I dig in...  It's even MORE broken that I thought...

    I create a completely wizard generated project that is just a SYSBIOS.

    An empty "main.c" source file DOES compile  (but it won't link... see later down the post). 

    However a CPP file with the following headers fails:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <algorithm>
    

    So, you cannot use stdio.h and algorithm...

    And try to use algorithm on it's own, and it craters even more.

    Now, to run salt into this wound...

    If I remove the algorithm header from the main.cpp it will compile. 

    But won't link. I get linker errors about VFP ...

    I can find nothing about the Vector Floating Point libs, and what any of the compiler/linkers settings mean.

    (By the way...   why  HALF WAY THROUGH COMPOSING THIS, suddenly I can't insert a code block??)

  • Hello,

    From my understanding, GNU 7.2.1 should be used with AM335x and SYS/BIOS 6.76 (and the Processor SDK). It is unlikely that it was validated with GNU 9.2.1. I will bring this thread to the attention of the device experts for further comment

    Thanks

  • Ki,

    The PDK 6.0..... ,  Which doesn't tell you what's in it, until you download the 3/4 of a GIG package and launch the installer, apparently has GNU 7 in it.   I guess that's how it got installed on my pc, it was NOT through CCS 10,1

    Although the TI page on CCS says it comes with GCC 9  

    (https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_downloads.html)

    It's not on my machine...   So I installed it from the App Center (as I said).

    I'll be ready to go into a tirade at the next person I hear from that says "You're using old stuff, you need to be using the latest versions"

    (And I have another post about the defects in that compiler where it doesn't know what __UULONG__ is for C++, but it does for C...  although I found a hack to get around it, and posted it)
