CCS v4.2.4 Linked Resource (System Macro?) not taking effect

Donald DeFord

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

I am using the Control Suite DRV8312-C2-KIT_v128 InstaSPIN_BLDC project. When I look at the project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Macros there is a System Macro (show parent context macros is checked) CONTROLSUITE_DRV830x_ROOT set to C:\. I need it set to C:\ti\controlSUITE\. When I look in Window-> Prefernces -> General -> Workspace -> Linked Resources I see CONTROLSUITE_DRV830x_ROOT set to C:\. So I changed it to C:\ti\controlSUITE\ but when I look back at the first location I looked it is still C:\!!! I tried restarting CCS. Do I need to reboot the PC? Is this variable set somewhere else?

Thanks in advance for you help.

    Hi Donald,

    did you try changing it under Window-Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked resources? 

    THe place you were looking is for build variables.  Linked resources use path variables.

    Please give that a try and keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Lisa, thank you for your quick reply.

    "did you try changing it under Window-Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked resources? " That is exactly what I did. I was only looking at the build information (where the CONTROLSUITE_DRV830x_ROOT variable is used) to see if it took affect. When I actually build I see a line

    -include_path="C://development_kits/~SupportFiles/F2803x_headers" which corresponds to the line in the C/C++ Build -> Tool Settings -> Include Options "${CONTROLSUITE_DRV830x_ROOT}\development_kits\~SupportFiles\F2803x_headers"

    You can see here that CONTROLSUITE_DRV830x_ROOT = C:/ where it should be C:/ti/ControlSuite

    Hi Donald,

    I would like to see if I can reproduce this here to point you to the right steps to correct this.

    - are you trying to use a ControlSuite example?  Which one?

    - How have you imported/created the project?  If you imported an example, did you make sure that you do not select "Copy Project into Workspace"?

    - have you tried upgrading to 4.2.5?

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Donald,

    You should set it in 2 places. One is under Window->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked Resources and the other is under Window->Preferences->C/C++->Managed Build->Macros tab. After you edit it under Managed Build, you should see it take effect in your Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Macros tab.

    Let us know if this does not help.

    I was able to redownload the kit project and get it to build in the original directory.
