JPEGDEC on C6678LE linker 'serious' problem

weber de souza calixto

Hi,

I've followed the steps to import the adapted project, that the user Gurnani posted as solution on http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/multimedia_software_codecs/f/356/t/166075.aspx.

There is no variable errors and such. The build steps complete without errors, just a few warnings.

However, the linker crashes, and I can't figure out why. I'm using CCS 5.1.1.00031

Can someone please help. The error output itself says to ask for support, and that this is a 'serious problem'.

There is the linker output error:

'Building target: TestAppDecoder.out'

Weber,

Which version of the compiler tools are you using? You can check by going into Help->About Code Composer Studio, click on Installation Details, and look for the version of C6000 Compiler Tools.

The version of linker you are using is having a problem building that application and is terminating abnormally. You could try a newer version of the tools to see if it resolves the issue. C6000 compiler tools are available for download here, so you can download the latest version, install it in any folder, and then have CCS detect and use this version by following the steps here.

Now that you mentioned it, I've found some unusual warnings:

I will try to fix this warnings, ant let you know about the results.

Hi,

I'm not working with the adapted version of jpeglib demo project anymore. Now I'm working with the default demo project that comes with the library.

I've downloaded the original libraries, as much as I could find, also the requested compiler version (7.2.2).

Now I have only 2 warnings:

Invalid project path: Duplicate path entries found (/TestAppDecoder [Include path] isSystemInclude:true includePath:C:/Program Files (x86)/Texas Instruments/xdctools_3_20_08_88/packages), path: [/TestAppDecoder].	TestAppDecoder		pathentry	Path Entry Problem

However, now I have this error:

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
ti.sysbios.BIOS: no property named 'libType'

It refers to the following piece of code on Build.xs (C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ipc_1_24_02_27\packages\ti\sdo\ipc).

 *  ======== Build.xs ========
 *
 */

var BIOS = null;
var Build = null;

/*
 *  ======== module$use ========
 */
function module$use()
{
    BIOS = xdc.module("ti.sysbios.BIOS");
    Build = this;

    /* inform getLibs() about location of library */
    switch (BIOS.libType) {
        case BIOS.LibType_Instrumented:

code continues...

I think that is because I'm running a newer version of IPC (1.24.2.27) instead of 1.22.4.25. However, I couldn't find a link to download the right version. Can you please share this link?

My current RTSC configuration for this project is, with XDCtools 3.20.8.88:

Can anyone from texas instruments please help? I'm struggling to make this damned demo project work.

Iit should be a demo, not a compatibility nightmare.

I've solved the last problem.

It was caused by the newer ipc version. Just using a older onde, solved it.

Now the project compiles and link without problems.
