CODECOMPOSER: migrating from CCS 6 to CCS 12 and DSP/BIOS to SYS/BIOS

Joseph G Boike
Prodigy 20 points
Part Number: CODECOMPOSER
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, SYSBIOS

Tool/software:

I'm trying to migrate a legacy OMAP-L138 project from CCS6 on Ubuntu14 to CCS12 on Ubuntu22
I was able to port and build the ARM portion, but having issues with the DSP code (C674x)

CCS12 complains the project expects DSP/BIOS 5.x which I don't have nor see a way to get / install.
Looking at the forums and app notes, I see I should migrate to SYS/BIOS 6 which I have.

SPRAAS7G gives instructions on converting a project, but it was written in 2011 and the instructions are wrong. Some like changing -xp to --xdcpath are obvious, but I get an error about ti.bios.conversion

~/ti/ccs1270/xdctools_3_62_01_16_core/xs --xdcpath=~/ti/ccs1270/xdctools_3_62_01_16_core/packages/ ti.bios.conversion DFDIR_DSP.tcf

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Options -Xverify:none and -noverify were deprecated in JDK 13 and will likely be removed in a future release.

js: "/home/jboike/ti/ccs1270/xdctools_3_62_01_16_core/packages/xdc/xdc.tci", line 354: xdc.services.global.XDCException: xdc.PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND: can't locate the package 'ti.bios.conversion' along the path: '~/ti/ccs1270/xdctools_3_62_01_16_core/packages/;/home/jboike/ti/ccs1270/xdctools_3_62_01_16_core/packages;'. Ensure that the package path is set correctly.

What do I need to do to convert / compile this project?

Thanks,

    Hello,

    you can get it from:

    https://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/dspbios/index.html

    Make sure you get at least DSP/BIOS 5.4x. 

    As for your effort to migrate to BIOS 6.x, I will bring this thread to the attention of the device experts who support SYS/BIOS.

    Thanks

    Ki,

    Thanks.

    I installed DSP/BIOS 5.4 and can get thru the link process, but a couple issues
    1. Under Properties > Resource > Linked Resources (Path Variable tab, the BIOS_CG_ROOT variable does not persist thru closing and starting CCS 12. I have to select Window > Preferences and "install" DSP/BIOS each time.

    2. I get gmake errors without any details

    Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
    gmake: *** [build-1300023023] Error 2    My_DSP_proj             C/C++ Problem

    Ki,

    It appears at least 1 of the gmake errors is from building the DSP/BIOS 5.42.01.09 example files:

    Building file: "../y/bios_5_42_01_09/packages/ti/bios/examples/control28069/msgq_tsk2tsk.tcf"

    Finished building: "../y/bios_5_42_01_09/packages/ti/bios/examples/dsk5510/msgq_tsk2tsk.tcf"
     

    Are these examples files needed? can I move / delete them?

    I also tried re-installing CCS 12 and rolling back to CCS 10 with no change.

    The reference to the dsk5510 file looks indeed suspicious.

    I've brought this thread to the attention of the device experts. They support DSP/BIOS and SYS/BIOS for your device. They can assist further.

    compared my CCS 10 / 12 project to the original CCS 6 and saw that something had placed a copy of the DSP/BIOS files in a sub-folder of my project. I deleted those and am now seeing a number of warnings and errors with the ..cfg.s62 file generated from the DFDIR_DSP.cdb file.

    a sample of the errors:
    "DFDIR_DSPcfg.s62", WARNING! at line 386: [W1500] warning:  relocation template 262 not found; returning OFR_INVALID
                .word ( (GBL_stackend-GBL_stackbeg+1) / STD_TARGWORDMAUS ) - 16 ; nwords
     
    "DFDIR_DSPcfg.s62", WARNING! at line 386: [W1500] warning:  relocation template 277 not found; returning OFR_INVALID
                .word ( (GBL_stackend-GBL_stackbeg+1) / STD_TARGWORDMAUS ) - 16 ; nwords
     
    "DFDIR_DSPcfg.s62", WARNING! at line 386: [W1500] warning:  relocation template 259 not found; returning OFR_INVALID
                .word ( (GBL_stackend-GBL_stackbeg+1) / STD_TARGWORDMAUS ) - 16 ; nwords
     
    "DFDIR_DSPcfg.s62", ERROR!   at line 386: [E0200] Unable to resolve this relocatable expression; relocation support for arbitrary expressions is not available in the C6000 EABI
                .word ( (GBL_stackend-GBL_stackbeg+1) / STD_TARGWORDMAUS ) - 16 ; nwords

    Could this be related to changing from COFF to EABI output? (old version used COFF, but new compiler doesn't support it)

    Ki,

    Tried CCS 12.7.1 also. Both w/ variant set for Generic C674x and OMAPL128 and I get the same errors and warnings. Also tried w/ compiler TI v8.3.12 & 8.3.2. It appears the .cdb file is generated directly by CCS from the configuration. What do I need to get this to work? Do you need files or additional info from me?

    Ki,

    Can I get the TI v7.4.4 [TI v7.4.18] compiler that compiles this project successfully on CCS 6.2?
    Will it work w/ CCS 12?

    Yes. You can use the CCS update manager:

    Outside of CCS migration, DSP/BIOS and SYSBIOS products for these devices are no longer supported by TI.  Please check the support guidance here:
