CCS building halts at last step to create bin

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hi champion,
I am using CCS 11.0.0.00012 to build an AWR1843 MSS (R5F) project. The CGT is ti-cgt-arm_16.9.6.LTS.
After MSS out file generated, I use below post-build steps to generate rprc file, add CRC and generate bin.

${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe ${ProjName}.xer4f ${ProjName}.bin
${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/multicore_image_generator/MulticoreImageGen.exe LE 37 0x00000008 xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin 0x35510000 ${WORKSPACE_LOC}/mrr_18xx_mss/Debug/mrr_18xx_mss.bin 0xb5510000 ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/firmware/radarss/xwr18xx_radarss_rprc.bin 0xd5510000 ${WORKSPACE_LOC}/mrr_18xx_dss/Debug/mrr_18xx_dss.bin
${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/crc_multicore_image/crc_multicore_image.exe xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin.tmp
${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/append_bin_crc/gen_bincrc32.exe xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin

I see these steps are completed successfully, and the bin file is generated under the path. However the CCS seems halt on 64% progress, and can't go further.

After I terminate the building progress by force, the console returns an erros 'Error: Program "C:/ccs1100/ccs/utils/bin/gmake" is not found in PATH'.
I found the gmake file under this folder does exist. I tried to clean and rebuilt the project several times and also tried to use CCS10.1 to build the project, but the problem is the same. Do you know what is the problem?

Hi,

Adam,

Did you observe this only with the CCS version you are using?

Thank you

Adam,

If you run the second post built step from a command prompt does it work? The gmake error could be due to killing the build. If the project itself is building then CCS can find make ok.

I found a number of threads with the same issue. Below are a couple that may help.

A few of them like this one point to the issue being that the multicoreimagegen.exe tool has issues if there is a space anywhere in the paths. I actually don't see a space in your path but I don't see one in theirs either.

This one was related to permissions

Hi John,
Really thanks for your valuable suggestion. I found the problem is due to a wrong MSS and DSS bin path and name in the second command. I renamed the CCS project name and this cause the MSS and DSS bin path and name changes, while I forgot to revise their path and name in the second command of post processing.
After correcting it, I can run the post-processing successfully.

Best regards,
Adam
