TMS320C54CST: CCS 1.2 to CCS 3.3 project migration and build compilation issues

Hello,

RAMESH GANESAMOORTHY said:

As a first step, I attempted to convert the CCS 1.2 .mak file to a CCS 3.3 .pjt file.

Have you seen the below migration guide? I covers migrating a CCS 1.3 *.mak file to a CCS 2.x pjt format that CCS 3.x also uses:

www.ti.com/lit/an/spra745a/spra745a.pdf

Please note that the XDS100 may be a cheaper option for C54x. It is still available for purchase unlike the obsoleted XDS560v1 and XDS510.

However, you may need to update to a later CCS version to use XDS100 since CCSv3.3 had limited support for it.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing ccs migration document and XDS100 emulator details.

I did follow the procedure and could able to make .pjt and few steps unable to do it per the document as CCS 3.3 doesnt have options similar to CCS 2 for example Tools–>Linker Configuration options not found in CCS 3.3.

The .mak file contains below options and I provided below details in the project build options->Compiler and Linker in CCS 3.3. However, I dont see assembler options in the project build options.
Linker = "-c -m <outputfile>.map -o Fast_Boot.out -x -i c:\ti\c5400\cgtools\lib -l rts_ext.lib "
Assembler = "-gls -mf -v548 -i<build path> "
Compiler = "-gss -als -mf -o2 -x1 -fr<buildpath>\object_and_asm -fs<buildpath>\object_and_asm -i<buildpath>\ -v548 "

With above options getting below error in CCS 3.3. How to force CPL=0 in CCS 3.3?.

Getting [E0003] error while building the project.

[E0003] This address mode is invalid in CPL=1 mode

Please advise .

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you are alluding to here. What is "CPL" in this context? Are you trying to set a preprocessor symbol value?

Thanks

I could able to enter Compiler options "-g -ss -al -as -o2 -fr"D:\object_and_asm" -fs"D:\object_and_asm" -i"D:\" -v548 -mf -x1" and trying to generate build but build generation failed due to  "[E0003] This address mode is invalid in CPL=1 mode error".

I’m trying to understand why the project builds successfully in CCS 1.2, but the same build throws errors in CCS 3.3. I’d appreciate help identifying the cause and resolving the issue.

Thanks

I assume this is output from the C54x assembler.

Are you using the same version of the C54x build tools between the two versions?

I will bring this thread to the attention to the compiler experts for further suggestions.

Thanks

To get a general background on CPL mode, search for the term CPL in the C54x compiler manual.

To understand ...

I need to know the context in which it is displayed.  Please rebuild the entire project.  I presume the build log has this error diagnostic.  Capture the entire build log into a text file, then attach that file to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

I compiled the software using CCS 1.2 and trying to load the .dat or .out file using CCS 3.3 getting below error in the .gel file. Also, the registers are showing 0's and not setting the values.

Please advise.

Hello,

Regarding the data verification error, please see:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/troubleshooting-data_verification_errors.html

While you are using an older version of CCS than what is in the document, the concepts remain the same.

Please note that your environment is very old and unsupported. Hence the amount of help that we can provide will be very limited.
