documentscfg problem

David Long

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2812

What are the files documentscfg* and how do I control them?   (specifically, documents.cdb, documentscfg.cmd, documentscfg.h, documentscfg.h28, documentscfg.s28, documentscfg_c.c)

When I compile my project, it creates these files in C:\ , not in the project directory.  It also puts documentscfg.obj and documentscfg_c.obj in the proper project\debug directory, but sticks this other stuff in C:\    Additionally, it cannot link because hundreds of symbols are multiply defined - both in documentscfg.obj, and in the file where they are actually defined.

What is this stuff, how do I control it, and why is it doubling defined functions?

 

This is in Version 3.3.82.13 but I'm told the project (which I got from someone else) was written in that version, so it *should* work.

Oops, processor is a TMS320F2812

Lost,

David

    David,

    These files are automatically generated by DSP/BIOS.

    Could you copy the output of the build to a text file and attach it here? Also, if you can send your .pjt file that would help.

    This information will help shed some more light to the problem.

    Regards,

    Rafael

    Anything that might help.  Attached is the project.

    dvdxt200_main.pjt

    And here is the build log (basically the same thing repeated a lot)

    David,

    The .pjt file has a section called [Generated Files] and they are pointing to the Documentscfg files:

    dvdxt200_main.pjt said:

    [Generated Files]
    Source="..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Documentscfg.s28"
    Source="..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Documentscfg_c.c"

    I am not sure how these files got there, but I suggest you to edit the .pjt file.

    Close CCS, backup the .pjt file and then open it in a text editor. Cut (not copy) and paste the two BIOS generated files from the [Source Files] to the [Generated Files] section:

    dvdxt200_main.pjt said:

    [Source Files]
    (...)
    Source="Debug\dvdxt200_maincfg.s28"
    Source="Debug\dvdxt200_maincfg_c.c"
    (...)

    This will guarantee that any changes to the BIOS configuration will be reflected in your project, and it will also guarantee it uses the correct files.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Something somewhere is still rebuilding those documentscfg files in c: everytime I rebuild the project.  If I list them under source files in the project, as you suggested above, it cannot find them.  If I copy the files (from the last compilation) from c:\ to the appropriate directory, it can find them, but I still get the "defined multiple times" error.

    If this is a BIOS problem, how do I tell what BIOS this project is using, or what is controlling it, or anything else about the BIOS?  Could I have some obsolete/bad BIOS set that I need to update/fix?  How would I know?

    Is there anything defined in the field to override the default location?

    You can check the BIOS version being used by looking in Component Manager ('Help->About..->Component Manager')
