Migrating CCS 3.3 project into CCS 12

Hello Steven,

Hi Ki,

I have a log file that is generated when I perform a legacy import on the project. Not sure if it is a big error, but when I try to build the project it does not recognize the older DSP BIOS package I am trying to use. I get the following error:

Building file: "../src/axe.tcf"
Invoking: TConf
"C:/ti/bios_5_42_02_10/xdctools/tconf" -b -Dconfig.importPath="C:/ti/bios_5_33_04/packages;" "../src/axe.tcf"
src/subdir_rules.mk:26: recipe for target 'build-881628513-inproc' failed
C:\ti\bios_5_42_02_10\xdctools\C:/ti/bios_5_42_02_10/xdctools/tconf: can't create session manager: create of JVM failed
gmake[1]: *** [build-881628513-inproc] Error 1

gmake: *** [build-881628513] Error 2
gmake: Target 'all' not remade because of errors.

The error seems to come from the DSP/BIOS support option in settings under CCS General the only two options for me are 5.42.1.09 and 5.42.2.10. Is there any way to get CCS 12 to recognize the older DSP BIOS version?

Thanks,

Steven

I put the contents of the old DSP BIOS folder into one of the on folders already mapped by CCS and it seemed to work for that error. However, there seems to be a problem with calls to Flash2812 API library. I have looked at the linker and the libraries seem to be included in the build settings, but I still get the error:

error #10008-D: cannot find file "Flash2812_API_V210.lib"

The errors are occurring on two commands for the library:

-lFlash2812_API_V210.lib(.econst)
-lFlash2812_API_V210.lib(.text)

Thank you,

Steven

I'm going to guess that this is defined in the linker command file.

Did you specify a valid library search path directory to the files in your linker settings?

The libraries are stored in subfolders under src and I did include them under CSS Build -> C2000 Linker -> File Search Path -> Include library file or command file as input (--library, -l). I included it there targeting all the .lib files I am using.

Did you specify the path to it (--search_path, -i)?

That seemed to fix that error. I now have a problem with the generated cmd files. It does not like the memory configuration that is automatically generated from the DSP/Bios all the generated code are throwing errors like such:

"./axecfg.cmd", line 189: error #10104: undefined symbol "PIE_INT9_4" used in expression

Is there a process to fix this as it does come from the DSP/Bios package and I had to do some rigging to have CCS 12 accept the old version I'm using.

You are now getting into specific build issues that I will be unable to assist with. I suggest starting a new thread in the C2000 forum for the device experts to further investigate.

Thanks
