CCSv4 debug active project problem

I am just coming back to using TI dsp after 6yrs. I can remember how to begin running or modifying existing projects.

I decided to follow a Quickstart_Reamme pdf document called "2803x C/C++ Header Files and Peripheral Examples Quick Start".

Below is the error I got trying to run one of the example project. I believe I have version 4 of the code composer, how can this problem be resolved?

 

Error

Exception occured during launch

Reason:

Program files does not exist.

    Hello,

    This message seem to indicate that the code generation tool version used (an older version) is not found in your CCS installation.

    You can chose to move the project to the latest code generation tool version or install the older version.

    You can check the code generation tool version by going Project->Properties->General and you will see it there.  What do you see in your case?  What do you get if you select a version?

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    I went to Project -> Properties -> CCS Build -> General . After configuring the project settings, I was able to run the project. I think I have Code Generation tools TI v6.0.1.

    I only got 1 warning - Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
    entry-point symbol other than "_c_int00" specified:  "code_start" remark: automatic RTS selection:  linking in "rts2800_ml.lib" in place of index library "libc.a"  Example_2803xCpuTimer line 0 1328558284760 581.

     

    Should I bother myself with this warning?

    Hello again,

    I am glad to hear that you found the settings and have things running.

    This warning is fine and can be ignored. It is just telling you that the entry point for the program is set to code_start instead of the default _c_int00 which is what we need in these examples. Other Peripheral Examples in the F28xx packages will also generate this warning.

    I hope that helps.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    How do I know if the Code is running on the DSP?

    The pdf I am reading says Debug Active Project automatically built and the .out file loaded into the 28x device...but how do I know it is running? what variables can I look for in the CPU time example and how to do this?
