Problem creating a new SYS/BIOS project in CCS5.1

doenges

I'm trying to create a SYS/BIOS project in CCS 5.1 for the C6678 EVM using the supplied project templates (i.e. I choose "File->New->CCS Project" and then select "SYS/BIOS->Typical" in the "Project templates and examples" part of the "New CCS Project" dialog window. CCS then complains that "No XDC tools are currently installed. Please install XDC tools before creating a project of this type". However, if I check the installation details, I can see that I do have XDCTools installed (product IDs are org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.product.ui.feature.group, org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.product_3.22.4.46.feature.group, and com.ti.xdctools.base.3.22.win32.feature.group). Attempts to manually tell eclipse where the xdc tools are installed (via the "Select XDCtools Version" dialog) also fail - it always tells me it cannot find any tools. This is with CCS 5.1.0.09000, SYS/BIOS 6.32.5.54 and XDCtools 3.22.4.26.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong ?

Hi,

have you tried v5.2? What OS do you use? Which example are you trying to start from?

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

I'm doing this on Windows XP, and no, I haven't tried 5.2.

I'm not starting from any existing example. I want to benchmark some code, not write a "real" application, so I don't need any specific SYS/BIOS features, just a basic environment in which to run C code in. My primary reason for wanting to use SYS/BIOS is to avoid having to write my own C6678-specific initialization code, and I thought creating a new project using one of the supplied templates would be the easiest way to do so.

Hi Eric,

I was able to reproduce this with 5.1.1 and can confirm this is fixed in 5.2. Please do try CCSv5.2 and keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Ok, I've installed CCS 5.2.00069 (I used the 1.2GB full installer). Now the "New Project" dialog only offers me "Empty Projects" or "Basic Examples" as templates to use - the SYS/BIOS templates are gone. The "Code Composer Studio Installation Details" claims BIOS 6 is installed (version 6.33.4.39), and I can see it in the filesystem.

HI Eric,

Did you create a CCS project (it seems so if the targets and other examples are there ...)? Could you please send a screen capture? What device support did you install when installing CCS?

Best Regards,

Looking through the install logs, I saw that there where a number of errors, so I reinstalled CCS 5.2, and now it works.
