Using XDC tools with a Makefile project within CCS 5.1

Hi Michael Mayercik,

How are you generating the project?  Are you able to make the project the way you want it from within the CCS GUI?

If so, it may just be a setting that's missing from the project generation "method" you have made in your makefile.

I created a Makefile project from the CCS5 GUI from code that was built previous;y using the Configuro command line tool.
Is it necessary to use that tool still or would the CCS5 GUI build the code using other XDC tools directly? 

Michael,
which other XDC tools do you want to use? If your intent is to use the xdc command to build a Makefile project, then you can't easily do it in a configuro-built project. The xdc command requires files package.bld and package.xdc, and such files are not available in the main directory of your configuro-built project.

There could be another way to achieve what you are trying to do, so can you supply more details?

How do I even go about adding XDC tools to the CCS5.1 IDE?  The attachment shows the full installation defaults.

The default installation of CCS5.1 IDE also installs XDCtools, but you can customize your installation to skip XDCtools. If you did that, you can install XDCtools later. Just click on the plus sign by 'RTSC' and clik on 'Products'. Then go to 'Add ...', find and select an XDCtools installation. You may need to restart CCS to complete the installation.

Actually I was saying that I completely re-installed everything available for CCS5.1.1 on Linux and unlike the Windows version it does not add the XDC or DSP BIOS components, not can I add them manually.  Is this a bug in this version of CCS? 

I know there were some issues with permissions, with that version of CCS but I am not aware of missing XDCtools and BIOS installations. I think your question will get a better answer in the CCS forum, so I'll move it there.
